    Wow after going 55-27 and having a 22 game winning streak last year without an MVP caliber player in Yao Ming, i think we have to be the favorites in the west now.

    wouldnt be surprised if shane is dealt to address the PG position.

    rush coming down,

    I really want to see how Artest plays with Tmac and Yao and be the 3rd option when all of them are on the floor, dude sometimes just jacks up ill advised shots alot and forgets the other players on the floor.

    ok someone number crunch, how much more of a salary do we need in addition to BJax's salary to match Artest's? Maybe we can guess from there which additional player...

    Artest may be a head case...but look what the Rockets gave up!!!

    Battier is STILL a Rocket. Losing Donte Greene might hurt just a little, but you now have Battier, McGrady, Yao, and Artest on the same team!

    Unbelievable move for Houston!

    Popavich must be irate right about now

    the depth on this team at every position (other than PG maybe) is ridiculous

    I didn't realize we could get his Bird Rights but he could ask for too much. If he behaves himself an SnT could be helpful for us. I'm worried that Scola is part of this trade. If he stays I will be relieved.

    The Rockets will give up guard Bobby Jackson, a No. 1 draft pick next season and another player that the individual with knowledge of the trade could not name

    There is a possibility that "the other player" would be Scola?

    Still have some good pieces to trade also, we gave up nothing in this deal. They went from talking about maybe getting Lamar Odom for Artestand theyend up with Bobby Jackson and a filler??

    Nope, we can't sign and trade Landry. It might be Luther, Brooks, or Novak.
