    I don't know what to think... I hope we can get Artest or Miller for AB, or somes guys we are not playing that much and some draft picks. If not then lets just play basketball and see how all of this looks.

    Bonzi was a very important piece to this team. He was a team player, a great passer, and a tough hard-nosed contender. He fit perfectly in the system and created a huge amount of depth, and match-up troubles for our opponents. I am going to sleep now with a sick, disgusting feeling.

    I will leave you with this: Bonzi Wells could have been a huge factor averaging 25 pounts and 11 boards in the playoffs.

    Les Alexander = FAIL

    No doubt it's Les' team to do with as he will. At the same time, I don't think you can fault fans for being irate after the team has gotten on a nice roll.

    1998 PETA publicly recognized Alexander and his (now ex-) wife Nanci as its largest individual donors -wikipedia

    maybe he can use some of that money he saved to give towards peta :rolleyes:

    Rich, animal-loving tree huggers. Notice it's almost always the rich that won't eat a hamburger.

    I hate 'em. Hate 'em all.

    I'm going to go out and enjoy a nice, juicy steak tonight and dedicate it to Mr. Alexander. I may drive over any puppies I see on the way to the restaurant.

    This feels like a big heavy blow to the chest. I'm surprised my heart is still beating.

    I understand getting rid of Mike James, but Bonzi Wells brings it in the playoffs and presents matchup problems for other teams. Bobby Jackson is washed up and this is a bad move. The Rockets should've kept Bonzi and included somebody else - especially considering how well Bonzi has been playing lately and how he flourished under Adelman in Sac. Only way I'll change my mind is if the Rockets make a trade for Artest tomorrow. Mike Miller won't even do it for me. The Rockets are on a 9 game win streak and in the thick of the western conference playoff race. This is a horrible move. :mad:
