    Hey Dave, how does it feel to be out of the playoffs since 2006–2007?

    How has Donte and BJax worked out for you?

    Ron sold us out for the Fakers. Everyone thought we were going to be gutter bait. We have defied odds this year and have a winning record without 2 superstars and Ron Artest.

    I think we ended up winning that trade.

    Everybody from Sacto I know absolutely hates the city. They hate it so much that they are so embarrassed to mention they grew up there.

    Simple: Would you trade Trevor Ariza and no playoffs last year for Donte Greene and Omri Casspi?

    Nobody looks at a trade in hindsight.

    No way... We took the champions to 7 without McGrady, Yao Ming and Dikembe Mutombo... When is the last time the Kings accomplished something so awesome?;)

    the artest deal worked out for both teams the rockets became an instant contender and went further in the playoffs than they have in over a decade

    the kings got 2 young guys who can be a part of their rotation for a while i dont feel greene or casspi are all-star type players but very solid role guys who will fit in well.


    artest left wasnt more because of Yao's injury than anything the team knew they had to go into a totally different mode of building a team.

    I harbor no more ill towards Ron he did what he needed to do, get a long term deal with a contender. We got Ariza out of it which i think will pay dividends next season

    everyone benefited from this trade. the knicks took the riskiest route putting everything in this FA class, but that was what walsh promised when he got here.

    the kings got an inside guy + cap space to build around tyreke

    and we got a legit SG + picks to work with. but i definitely feel better about this trade now than last night. morey continues to do his thing.

    I'd rather no playoffs than 2nd round, you get a better pick. But that's just me. I want a title in my lifetime. But that's just me, and I know I'm in the minority.

    Donte Greene and Omri Casspi make up 40 percent of our starting lineup. So I guess they worked out ok, especially considering Donte could be getting ready for march madness with Syracuse right about now, getting feeds from Jonny Flynn.

    What are 110 degree days worth without oppressive humidity. If the people here in Houston weren't going to kill Landry the weather was.

    Kmart will break at some point again... Then what, we have another tmac story. Plus he is less talented than mac. Now we have only scola down low. The rockets will have a tough time scoring down low, and getting to the line.

    Oh and we gave up Dorsey in this deal. We should Have at least kept him and gave them Cook.

    I love when people from losing teams say they would rather no playoffs... get real, you like to sit through 82 games of crap every year so you get a higher draft pick?? really, guy could be a bust and if not when you're dealing with terrible teams they probably walk out as soon as they can anyways.
