    What does Dampier have to do with this? Are we going to play all 4 centers at once to keep him from getting 20 boards? No. One at a time, we don't need 4, he's freakin erick dampier afterall. Yao and solid back up is all we need, maybe a third who can also play PF, but 8 guys for those two spots is ridiculous when yao alone is going to get 30 mins + at center.

    Jax can't play the one. One injury and yes we're screwed, and one jackson fit and we're also screwed. Almost as bad as being injury prone..

    I wish i could agree with you but no one wants Tmacs overpaid injury prone self on their team. Stephen Jackson yes but they wont give Murphy or Foster in this trade. I dont think people realize that we cant just throw trades in the air and hope for the best. Tmac just isnt worth much at the moment and 18.7 million is a long term investment in a player that originally said he was gonna retire after this year.

    There are two problems with aiming for 2011.

    1. Many Rockets players are due raises this offseason. This includes Scola and Landry. Brooks could be getting a big raise in 2011 too if he continues to improve. This will eat up quite a bit of cap space.

    2. This is bad from a marketing standpoint. Because it would imply that the Rockets are mailing it in next season. Sure, you can pull this off in a video game if you want to procure cap space for a particular season. But one season is an eternity when it comes to not selling out your stadium.

    I would prefer to never have my least favorite player (Stephen Jackson) on my most favorite team, thank you very much but no thanks.

    "We know Jack wants out, we’re trying to accommodate him. That’s not gonna help. It’s harder than hell to trade that guy. He’s got his history; he’s got a long-term contract. We’re trying.”

    I know the guy is a headcase that carries baggage but Nelly is just as wacky so I take some of what he is saying very lightly. Look I knew ALOT of people don't like SJAX and thats understandable but the guy can play and would be ideal to what the Rox want to do thus the title to the thread. This locker room is a STRONG group so I like to think that a guy this talented can be influenced in a positive way much like Ron Ron was last year. Along with the other pieces we would be reciving makes it worth it for me but again it has Risk and lots of it so I understood if alot of folks aren't down with it.

    I will say this for those who say this isn't enough for TMAC you guys are delusional, TMAC isn't going to get a superstar in return IMO but can get you a very good player to build with but also some not so great contracts will come along for the ride. For those of you who say I overvalue his deal, that I can agree with because it will be in the eye of the beholder as to how truly valuable that expiring deal will be.

    I agree!!

    I'm still reading through the original post and trying to figure this post out - it SAYS we're dealing with the devil, but I can't figure out which Utah player is coming back :confused:

    Lil' help anyone?

    i'm guessing you haven't heard things with ron ron weren't all that great in the locker room....you dont want any guy in the locker room like that, if he was a young guy that didnt know any better, then our group could perhaps influence him to get his act straight, but grown men like ron and Jax who have been around the league arent going to give in to that.

    And the warriors have been trying for a while to trade jax, its not just nellie talking, and they can't get anything done. Even some players were quoted recently as saying it's best for jax to be traded..

    No superstar(s) = no championship(s)

    Read this taken from a recent ESPN article:

    "Check the annals: Only one time in the last 30 years has a team with just one star finished as champion. And that crew, Hakeem Olajuwon's 1994 Houston Rockets, beat another team in the Finals, Patrick Ewing's New York Knicks, that featured just one star.

    Nowadays, every club in the title hunt, except Cleveland, is stacked with stars.

    Boston has three future Hall of Famers and a budding perennial All-Star in Rajon Rondo, not to mention four-time All-Star Rasheed Wallace. Orlando has Dwight Howard, Vince Carter, Rashard Lewis and Jameer Nelson. San Antonio has Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Richard Jefferson.

    And in L.A., the Lakers have five guys with all-star ability: Kobe, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Ron Artest and Lamar Odom.

    Want to throw in the Denver Nuggets? They have at least Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups".

    Jackson can barely shoot better than Rafer at about 40% for his career. We just got rid of one brick master so we dont need another.
