The Houston Rockets were close to an agreement to trade Bonzi Wells and Mike James to the New Orleans Hornets for Bobby Jackson, league sources told Yahoo! Sports late Wednesday night.

For the Hornets, who have the Western Conference's best record, they'll get the veteran bench depth that they've been trying hard to secure for the stretch run. James can give coach Byron Scott productive minutes behind point guard Chris Paul, and Wells gives the Hornets another shooter off its bench.

The Hornets will also send rookie Adam Haluska to Houston. With the development of rookie guard Aaron Brooks, the Rockets would be able to free themselves of the nearly $13 million left on James' contract.

[peskypesky]

Rockets decide to ruin NO by giving them Bonzi "Headache" Wells.

More like "western rival New Orleans makes its move"

Houston just cut salary by trading with its biggest division opponent. Sound familiar?

I also think they would have been a great addition, but I think It wouldn't answer the spurs problems in the middle, not to mention the redundancy that would be caused by it.

Rockets also just gave away their one player who consistently has given the Spurs fits.

Now the Hornets are the new team to give the Spurs fits..

Amazing!

If Wells were to come in and play like he does AGAINST the Spurs, he would have some value.

If he were to come in and play like he does against everybody else, he'd struggle to even crack the rotation.

Another division rival the Spurs have to deal with...

[ChumpDumper]

Another conference rival the Suns have to deal with...

[ChumpDumper]

Suns lost.

[Princess Pimp]

damn western confrence you ruined our chances for our first and only chance to repeat

Fixed

Yeah, but despite their record and potential seeding, it's tough to fear a team that is looking at their first playoff run.

They spanked the Spurs once, and may even do it again on Saturday. But over a 7 game series when the Spurs are finally healthy (beating anybody in the playoffs depends on this) and they are the only team that Pop has to gameplan for, I'm not worried about them until they've been there a time or two.

This is good for us against Houston, but bad for us against New Orleans.

I'm not sure, should I be excited about this?

[ChumpDumper]

damn western conference you ruined our chances for a first and only championship

Your team need to get healthy and fast...

The way the west is right now, a bad streak may leave you out of the playoffs...

[Princess Pimp]

Suns lost.

No !

[TDMVPDPOY]

this is good for us

1 team to lookout for

1 team to worry less about, due to lack of depth

does the rockets still have francis?

[atxrocker]

bonzi can really contribute with this team if he stays focused. good deal for NO.

Yes they do, but I think he'll be out for the season because of an injury.

But that was before the season began. Houston trails NO in the standings. Why trade with someone you're trying to catch?

[doldrums]

Mike james was horrible this year and last, that's why he's being sent packing
