    I hope I'm not posting an unnecessary thread, but I just felt that people were interested in who else was included in the deal. I posted it in the main thread but I think it goes away in a flash so this can be merged if necessary. No Rookifications pls....=p

    To make the salaries work, the Magic included in the Houston deal center Adonal Foyle and Mike Wilks along with Cook.

    Why a new thread ?? It's in the trade thread and not that big a deal, Wilks is out for the season and Foyle will probably be waived / not get any PT.

    Can't be right. Some of those guys have to be going to Memphis. Hopefully it's Cook.

    Wow, that's good news. Adonal Foyle is a quality post defender who'll come in handy against a San Antonio, Phoenix, or LA team in the playoffs. But is there room for him and Deke on the playoff roster?

    Wow Adonal Foyle...you think they could have given us like Hedo or Pietrus for our freaking starting point guard.

    I don't think that trade works, because the Rockets would have to waive someone to take those players in.......

    adonal foyle?? the same douche who said he was the 2nd best center in the league at some point? i remember shaq publically making fun of him for his scrubness,,,,,,,,,,,,,,cut him immediately, wake up people, rockets arent saving salary cause they have to get a similar amount in return and rafer isn't locked to a long term deal.

    I just realized Mike Wilks played for us before, right? Maybe this is the "back to where he began" that Doc Rocket was referring to...

    That's Eric Dampier. Adonal Foyle is a class guy, and a quality defensive big. Not sure if he'd be coming to Houston, though. He'd be a nice addition, so I hope so.
