    As a legit 3rd scorer he should enough time on the floor to show off his offensive wares when Yao or T-mac are off the floor, defensively he can do that anytime he's on the floor

    I doubt V-Span or Novak will get much playing time beyond pre-season...

    Why does it bother you so much if someone has a different take from yours? The fact that I'm taking a wait-and-see approach should in no way invalidate how you feel today. If this news makes you excited and happy then cool. I see you have over 4000 posts here and dedicated fans like you deserve to feel good about the Rockets because they have not given you much of a reason to feel that way in a long time.

    i don't know, we spent a good portion of the MLE on Kill Bill, that would be quite a waste if he doesnt play.

    Sorry to post twice in a row, but wouldn't you say barring sura's return that v-span would have to start out as the back-up pg? Its not going to be JLIII.

    Love the addition of Bonzi, but I do worry about the chemistry...if everything gels and everyone plays to their potential, Rockets will be a force.

    Yeah I think Killbill will see some playing time, will have to see how Novak plays out

    Just ignore him. He is not a rockets fan. He used "they(Rox)"and "them".

    Guys, the beauty of this deal is that there is incentive for both sides but very LITTLE risk on our part. We did not take a lot of risk in essentially giving him a one year deal (he will definitely opt-out next year). If he screws up, he'll be de-activated, etc., where he can't be a distraction, and we really do not suffer much salary cap damage.

    Bonzi has every reason to play well and help this team win and absolutely NO incentive to be selfish and to get kicked off the team. If he does well, then can't he opt out and get re-signed to a bigger contract as a "Bird rights" player?

    Lastly, many people complain about the big hole at the 4. How many teams are there in the league today that are set at every single position? The answer is not many.

    They are not "hoping" anything. The Rockets' management knows exactly how many teams have cap space next summer and how many top tier FA's are in the market. They also know that they will have a full MLE which is the same as ~26 other teams. If the chemistry is good, Wells signs for next years' full MLE. If not, you rented quite a bit of talent for just over $2M.

    Holy Crap :eek: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I heard the news on my local news channel in S.A. and I rubbed it in my families faces because he gave the Spurs hell in the playoffs (They like the spurs :mad: , I'm the smart one of the family ;) ) a few of ya'll said Western Conference Finals here we come forhet that, I'm going to do what JVG said and bet on Houston so i chosse the Houston Rockets as this years NBA Champions.

    Every team in the NBA is going nightmares about us then when they look at their schedules aand see that the ROX are the next team they have to play they will piss their pants and have a Panic Attack, they might look a little like this> :(
