Good for Gerald, maybe he can get some PT. McGrady playing with the next McGrady. :rofl:

Good place for him, they just traded away Mike James and Bonzi Wells...

Now he can use Yao as a prop next dunk contest.

hopefully it will click for him there

I wonder if he'll get the starting spot? I don't see anybody who would get the spot ahead of him.

Plus he's from that area so he'll be playing in front of a home crowd.

Shane Battier and T-Mac say hello.

thats a good move for Gerald. he's from houston so hopefully he feels more confortable playing in his back yard.

What? Of course not. He can't start on the T-Wolves, how is he going to start on the Rockets? They'll probably start Battier in place of Wells.

Wells was going off the bench anyways and wasn't see an awful lot of time until recently. Gerald will definitely get some minutes, but he's not going to be getting as much playing time as he saw in boston.

You have to think tasteing some home cooking will be good for Gerald....He's in a good place!

You really think he's a starter?

LOL I forgot about Scola.

I guess it will be

Yao
Scola
Battier
T-Mac
Alston

Amazing trade for Gerald, now he has to prove he's a part of their future.

Prue · Post #19 » by **Prue** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 11:11 pm

I guess the question that no one asked but everyone is wondering is...

"If all it cost was an expiring contract and a 2nd round pick to get Gerald then why did we not just bring him back?"

I mean maybe some of our winning ways would rub off on him.

Prue · Post #20 » by **Prue** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 11:22 pm

Oh wait...we don't have an expiring that would work and I guess we need our guys. Where is a bad 1 year expiring contract when you need one?? ?
