If i was Hibbert, i would work with Kareem to get that skyhook down...an unstoppable shot.

Imagine if you're a big man and you just alternate between Dream and Kareem (hmm... that rhymed)... The Dream Shake and Sky Hook would be incredible.

well the WT story says this: "Trading for Johnson would likely eliminate the Nets from their pursuit of Howard."

I saw Andray Blatche in the club last night (and Adrian Peterson Friday night)... It's probably nothing, but maybe he had a conversation with the Rockets.

Blatche aint a free agent so it would have been tampering if he did.

meanwhile, OKC wants to sign Hasheem Thabeet!!! Watch him become an All Star now.

You mean D-Will, Crash, & JJ?

Looks like ATL making moves to get in Dwight Howard race.

Rockets need to trade KMart to Atl for scrubs and our pick back.

With Atlanta and Orlando seemingly looking to be worse. And Chicago to play w/out Rose for majority of the season, and the possibility Indiana lets Hibbert go (though, I doubt it), the east will be interesting, especially where Brooklyn ranks... a lineup w/ Deron, JJ, Crash, and Lopez (did they retain Humphries caphold?) could be pretty solid; though that frontcourt defense is ugly.

All I gotta say that Danny Ferry is a freakin genius. Awesome trades and a massive cap relief in the following season.

Agreed

Ok, here's what I don't understand...

ATL traded Joe Johnson for Jordan Williams (who? a backup big), Johan Petro(backup big), Jordan Farmar(backup point, salary dump), Anthony Morrow(3 point spec), a re-signed Deshawn Stevenson (not special) and Houston's 2013 (protected) first round pick in the proposed deal. So 1 good player and a protected pick?
How does that equal Jo Johnson? If they were dumping, why didn't the Rockets get involved? They have contracts, picks and back-up players to trade.
I hope the people of ATL riot till ATL takes back the trade.
