    I think so.

    Hounston rockets are becoming houston kings, getting soft and softer. I think it is in the wrong direction.

    Stop making trade with the kings!

    Artest was a bull, nothing soft about him. Martin is soft but he has a role on this team and does it perfectly, problem he doesn't do anything else all that great.

    Whatever helps the team build, could care less where it came from.

    We gave the kings two 1st rounders to rent Artest for one year. Martin & Landry trade is destroying the rockets. Miller is as soft as tofu.

    Nothing wrong with the Kings. If there were, Landry would have caused a worm hole to open up around the arena.

    Martin is NOT destroying the team, a certain center not staying healthy and no TEAM defense is killing them. Martin is part of the problem in a way but that trade didn't destroy the team.

    Oh and by the way, those two 1st rounders...

    Donte Greene is averaging 6.5 ppg and Casspi 10 ppg, although I do like his game. I'd still do that trade in a heartbeat.

    Landry is a great fit in our team.

    Stop denying the obvious facts! All trades were in the kings' favor.

    Let's see ...

    Bobby Jackson ... decent but washed up when we got him
    Bonzi Wells ... decent but washed up when we got him
    Ron Artest ... played okay for us but never really gelled
    Kevin Martin ... decent but not as dependable as Landry
    Brad Miller ... decent but washed up when we got him

    Bottom line ... Adelman is living in the past. He doesn't realize that players decline over time. What a moron!

    The bad part is that we are paying them tons of caesh.

    If we were just getting washed up losers on discounts that would be fine, but we are overpaying for Martin and Miller.

    yeah, we should stop acquiring Sacramento Rockets' Player.
    Their starters include, Luther Head, Carl Landry, their first guy off the bench, Donte Greene.

    Okay how did the Kings win on these deals? Landry is averaging 14ppg and 6 rpg(rounding up in his favor), Martin is averaging 24ppg and 3rpg(rounding down). We got Jordan Hill, 2012 1st rd pick AND the swap option for 2011???

    Ron Artest was a nutcase but he played defense and helped the club out of the 1st rd playing a role he wasn't suppose to play when we acquired him. I've already pointed out the players we gave up and their STELLAR numbers.

    Look, I LOVE Carl "the tooth" Landry but he isn't the missing piece to respectability. Scola has done more then enough to compensate for his departure and hopefully Hill can continue to play strong to make it a slam dunk move.

    That guy did not play in his rookie year.
    This seaosn his team is the worst team in NBA.
    Also, how long is this guy going to play for the Clippers? a big question mark.

    So far, that guy is proving my point.
