This trade seems to be a financially-motivated non-event.

This trade is just weird. Bonzi Wells is going to be in Byron Scott's doghouse in record time. I wouldn't put it past Mike James joining him at some point. Scott hates me-first, mentally weak players.
If Wells couldn't get along with JVG, just wait until Scott rips into his azz.
Wells might be worth a look this summer.
Whatever happened to Steve Francis with the Rockets? I haven't heard a peep from him all season.
on paper this moves looks good - NO gets some depth - but I'd be skeptical if I'm a NO fan. Wells has talent but he's proved to be a cancer every team he's played for, and James has potential but this isn't the first team that has given up on him, not thinking he's worth it.
I agree.
Injured and out for the season.
This does not improve the Rockets. Jackson is having an abismal year. He's shooting less than .400%, averaging 7 point and less than 2 assists. Those are the same numbers James was putting up in less minutes. Add to that fact that Wells' 9 pts 5 rbs is the 3rd best per minute total (he only plays 22 mins per game) behind Yao and McGrady. So you got less rebounding for a wash stat player and a worse defender. For whatever reason, Adleman thinks he is getting the Bobby Jackson from Sacto before he blew out his knees and ripped a hammy and has a chronic sprained wrist.
NO just got better, not Houston.
pure money trade. Rockets fans are very irate. Flaming Les Alexander the owner and now there are calls for him to sell the team to an owner that actually cares.
Rumors about Bonzi going back to his old ways about complaining about his minutes and place in the offense as a go-to guy have been rife in Houston for some time. He was definitely becoming a cancer again in the Houston lockerroom and with the coach. In addition, his game was down on the low block and they have Yao and Scola there.
Adelman gets Bobby Jackson, who he's coached before and is a solid if unspectacular vet to back up the point. Houston has been looking for another backup point guard all year. Jackson will also help with perimeter shooting to open up for Yao and Scola.
Most Houston talkshow hosts and fans like the trade.
er... maybe you didn't pay attention when he was in sac and he also proved that he could be a beast in the playoffs... against the spurs. bonzi can certainly contribute to this hornets team, to what extent depends on his being able to stay focused and motivated. to completely dismiss him as a valuable player is just silly.
he was a monster in THAT environment with THAT set of players... haven;t proven to be effective since... he should have stayed and not lose the money he actually did
didn't bonzi end up losing like $30-40 million after turning the sacto offer down?
