Pretty good lineup. I think the Rockets will be very compe ive this season.
Starting 5: Brooks, Battier, Artest, Scola, Yao

I dunno, we are probably going to get two other minor players from the Magic to make the salaries work out. When it's all said and done, there are a lot of players getting waived. Bring in a new player off waivers. , I'd rather have Bonzi on my team instead of Dorsey.
I have called for AB to start but that was when TMAC WAS HEALTHY. Without Tmac starting with brooks this is a mess.
ya at least t-mac could be a facilitator with brooks on the floor
2010 or the lottery! woohooo!Are Rockets fans still hoping for some type of salvage of this season, or the next few seasons to come???
Talk about the blind leading the blind.
It seem from scouting sources that Houston Rockets have been in contact with Igor Rakocevic to join them. They would like to sign him to be starting point guard for them.
He is free agent at end of season. Asking price is say to be $12 millions for 3 years but 3rd year would be team option. This could maybe be true rumors after Alston was traded and he play in same team as Prigioni (old team of Scola) who Rockets have been scouting for long time now.
For Rockets fans he has won FIBA European championship in 2001 and FIBA World Championship in 2002 with Yugoslavia after victory over Argentina in championship. Very few players have won both European championship and world championship. Even Spain national team of current time has never done this.
So he is product of legendary Yugoslavia system.
Personal opinion of this player is he can fit perfect in offense with team that have Yao as center. However defense would be issue for him because in Euroleague he is not good defender. Of course is much better than someone like Jasikevicius in defense. But maybe he would be OK because Navarro also sucks in defense in Euroleague. In NBA it is not that important since rules prevent players from really guarding in perimeter anyway. Not like in Euroleague where bad defenders on perimeter are big problem for clubs.
But in offense he is one player who would punish NBA defense badly if they left him open to make double teams of Yao.
6-4 player can play point guard or shooting guard. Excellent 3 point shooter and vertical jump is 43 inches.
This is him in youtube

Rafer was the problem in the locker room, not artest according to Doc Rocket. Tmac's knee heals over night?
How quickly we forget that Rafer Alston's injury in last years playoffs cost them that series.
Mutha Igor Rackioeoemfvic
Igor
Make it happen Morey
That is true. I totally forgot about that. You guys would have beat Utah if Rafer played the first two games.

Cook is going to get waived. By the way, here's more from the Chicago Tribune.
People familiar with deal: Orlando acquires Alston, Rockets get Lowry, Cook in 3-team trade
By CHRIS DUNCAN | AP Sports Writer 3:45 PM CST, February 19, 2009 HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Rockets traded point guard Rafer Alston to Orlando and acquired Magic forward Brian Cook and Memphis guard Kyle Lowry on Thursday, two people with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.
Memphis also received the Magic's first-round draft pick as part of the deal, said the people, who requested anonymity because the trade had not been announced by any of the teams.
The three-team swap came one day after Rockets star Tracy McGrady announced on his Web site that he'll have season-ending microfracture surgery on his troublesome left knee.
The Magic, meanwhile, needed an experienced point guard after Jameer Nelson suffered a potentially season-ending shoulder injury Feb. 2.
The 6-foot-2 Alston practiced with the Rockets on Thursday but left before the session was opened to the media. He was averaging 11.5 points and 5.4 assists this season and had 24 assists in Houston's last two games, both Rockets victories.
The Rockets are 33-21, second in the Southwest Division, but sixth overall in the Western Conference.
The loss of Alston likely pushes Aaron Brooks into the starting point-guard role. Brooks is averaging 10.3 points and 2.6 assists in 52 games, but he's only made seven starts.
Alston was due to make $4.9 million this season and $5.25 million next season, the last year of his contract with Houston. The Rockets acquired him in an October 2005 trade with Toronto.
The move reunites Alston with Coach Stan Van Gundy, who led Miami when Alston played for the Heat in 2003-04. Alston played for Jeff Van Gundy, Stan's brother, in his first two seasons with the Rockets.
The 6-foot Lowry is averaging 7.6 points and 3.6 assists in 49 games. The former Villanova star was the Grizzlies' first-round pick (24th overall) in the 2006 draft.
The 6-9 Cook is averaging only 3 points and 1.3 rebounds in 21 games for the Magic this season.
Now our guards are Brooks, Lowry, and Head. Uhhh
Oh I should say that about 4-5 NBA teams is willing to offer Rakocevic MLE contract next year. So this means if Rockets want him they will have to meet what he asks for and maybe pay a little more even.
How the are there so many videos of Rakocevic up on Youtube? Who does that?
Here is video of Rakocevic this year in Euroleague game against ALBA. This will show Rockets fans his ability to shoot 3 pointers.
is just clips from this one game

For Serbian players in today Igor > Peja. Of course such a player will have videos in youtube.
WHY the are you taking over our thread posting useless vids of a ing scrub?
Nobody cares
A scrub? lol you idiot. He is much better player in TAU than Scola ever was in TAU.
V-Span's is calling
Rockets fans = dumbest basketball fans in world. Once again you prove your reputation is worthy.
