Why would the Rockets do that? It must be for salary cap purposes. Bobby Jackson for Bonzi and James doesn't make sense.......

Its legit and the Rockets pulled a WTF move.
Bonzi Wells >>>>>> Bobby Jackson
He doesnt have anything left in the tank.

don't like this for the rockets, Bonzi was playing well. Mike James was useless so at least we got out of his contract. Jackson will at least be a better 3 point shooter, but still, Bonzi is better.

Doesn't seem like a good trade from Houston's standpoint.
NO just got a lot deeper. Two quality bench players, especially Bonzi. The West is so disgustingly insane this year.

Bad trade for the rockets unless there's subsequent deal. This just looks like a salary dump of James' contract.

Seems like a move made for cap space? It doesn't get worse than trading Gay for Battier. I mean WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!? They were very fortunate for Gay to actually slip that far, and then they trade him for Battier? I mean he's pretty good, but he's not that special, while Gay is averaging 20ppg in his sophomore season... yikes.

Not only might poor Tracy McGrady get out of the first round, his team might not even make the playoffs altogether.
Too bad, so sad.
Although you could include Denver, I think it's going to be a tossup between Houston and Golden State.
