ESPN just said Bonzi was involved in trade talks...good pickup for NO..

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.

Wow Houston losing very versatile big for boby jackson which is almost copy of mike james no?

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.

Who plays backup SG/SF for houston now? Kirk Snyder?

:rofl:

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.

Houston like old guys.

blame the **** management for this **** bull

this is absolute horrible trade for the **** rockets, unless we are getting artest, there's no **** reason to do this trade

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.
