    I really dont think SF is going to play too much with the Grizz. The trade is obviously Chris Wallace doing Morey a favour as a good friend. The Rockets still have to pay SF's salary.

    I hope Morey signs Deke soon. I think we will have some cash left over for another player...DJ Strawberry anyone?

    After raping us for Gay I guess he felt sorry for us. No really though they did get their high 2nd rd pk back.

    Yeah, the Grizz get their 2009 2nd rd pick back and give back a conditional 2011 2nd rd pick. No big deal. The deal is still a personal favour. The Rockets get flexibility and go under LT. Not too many teams can do this trade (need roster spot and under LT) and too little to gain on this trade.

    hey!! How's Sf3 doing with all those minutes he getting in Memphis? Hasn't the former all star gotten them into the playoff hunt yet with his awesome heart and fire he plays with on the court??? Or does the Memphis coach have it in for Stevie also?

    Sorry SF3 only fans but Steve's glory days are over... And were never as glorius as you remember.

    bad trade imo. steve came back to houston for a lower salary than what he could in another team because he loves houston. the worst part is that they gave him up + a pick and still pay him his salary just for a conditional pick? tsk tsk.

    He wasn't a productive player anymore, just a bad contract we had to dump.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but why not trade Luther to get under the cap and hold onto Steve until his contract ends at the end of the season and keep the pick. Will we even have a pick in this years draft?

    Trading Luther will be sufficient to get under the lux, but we won't have enough room to sign another player. We will have our own 2nd rounder for hte draft.

    I still can't process he's gone. We need another 22 win streak to ease the pain. Rockets, you owe me.
