    Remember the outrage on the board when the Rockets traded Gay for Battier?

    Remember the outrage on the board when the Rockets drafted Aaron Brooks and Carl Landry?

    Just wait.

    At least let Adelman have a press conference before we start declaring the season over.

    We have wait for FIVE YEARS for this team to get healthy.

    How did that end up?

    We have waited FIVE YEARS for this team to get out of the 1st round.

    I'm losing faith in Morey by the second on this one. I can't see the logic in trading Alston for uh nothing? What are the odds they'll pull a Von Wafer and shine? Who knows.

    Lowry may be a great future move, but this season Memphis have been very unhappy with their PGs.

    I really don't get this trade.

    I'm sorry, I can tolerate everything.

    Trading for Battier was a good move after all then and drafting Brooks wasn't so important at that time for the Rockets.

    When you deal ONE OF YOUR starting players for two benchwarmers then it's the problem.

    Can somebody tell me just one GOOD side of this trade? Just one good AND I will tell you thousand of others.

    Plus Brian Cook can shoot the 3. I don't see him staying that long but with the excess of 3's now there has to be a deal in the works for a PG.

    If no other trade is made, this is probably one of the worst weeks in Rockets history...

    Tmac drama, now this!

    Cook is a DNP on the Magic roster. Before that he was a DNP with the Lakers. He was a throw in for salary purposes.

    Alston has only 4 million salary per year. What can you expect more from him?
    This trade is BS!

    I felt it was a good trade when we get Battier for Gay...
    I felt nothing when we get Landry or Brooks...

    But I feel very ****ty now because we traded Rafer for a bag of chips.. This trade would only make sense if we trade Lowdry or Cook again for an elite PG, but I doubt it...
