    I think this is a good trade. We're going to eventually be singing the praises of Morey, even if another trade doesn't go down.

    I can't say I like the move as of now. Bonzi is absolutelly a Spurs killer and a bad matchup for Ginobili. We'll see what's next.

    Its the point. A brainless guy can't even enter the rotation.
    There's gonna be something else going on, I wish.

    How about this? Bonzi is proven, Synder is not. Synder sucks!

    ???? Synder wants to be traded. And Bonzi is one of the better offensive rebounders we have.

    Yes, like last year when the Rockets were a good 3-point shooting team. We aren't going to get where we need to be offensively unless we start hitting that shot at a much higher frequency. Bonzi Wells eating up 20 minutes a game at SG/SF makes that tough. You lose in some areas with this trade, and gain in others. I do think the most pressing need for this team right now is shooting more than anything else.

    Atrade that rids us of Bonzi and James is fine with me? I never liked the thought of either of them in a Rockets uniform. :p Anyway you will all feel better after the next trade. ;)

    Maybe....but the way I think is that the backup PG is more important especially in that we have a VERY inconsisten Rafer as our only reliable PG....

    This gives the team a lot more options, and a guy who plays with fire and attacks the basket.

    Bonzi has been spotty at best this year and is looking to get paid.....this team does not need him.

    I love the trade.

    You guys looking at Bobby as a backup PG are going to be disappointed. He's a scoring guard, period. The Hornets never play him there. He's always on the floor with either Paul or Pargo.

    if synder is pulled into the rotation he should be allowed to shoot only drive

    I shudder at that thought. It's time for Tracy McGrady to wake up from his slumber. I feel he will miss Bonzi the most.

    First you got to pray Jackson can stay healthy throughout the season.

    Hmm, this doesn't sound good. Hopefully Mr Feigan is mistaken. Otherwise, I'm wondering how the gain of BJ over MJ is worth losing Bonzi.

    So then we trade away Artest's only friend in Houston? I have the dimmest of all glimmery hopes that this is the master plan to bring in Ron Artest, but by 3pm EST tomorrow, I have a hunch that I'll be feeling the deepest sense of bitterness that we seemingly refuse to ever improve at the trade deadline, when other teams are giving star players away for scraps.
