Unbelievable!!! I go out to run a few errands and Morey the Wizard strikes again! I'm gonna miss Carl like hell, but this makes it so much easier to swallow
NY fans are actually happy with this trade. They now have 36M in cap space for two near max FAs and are able to resign DLee. The theory is by 2011 these picks won't be lottery picks because the team will be better. Great trade for the Rox, getting Martin and pretty much the original deal discussed with the Knicks. Now Sikma or CD need to do some heavy duty coaching with Jordan Hill and develop him to become our Carl Landry.
So the Rockets are basically a lock for 2 more lottery picks over the next 2-3 years. Morey is a god.
Not this year, I think, but Les has to pay it if he want to resign Scola and Lowry, but likely he wants to pay it if the team is going to win something big.
Would another trade be in the works? Either that or someone is getting released right? We give up McGrady, Landry, Dorsey. Get Martin, Hill, Armstrong, and Jeffries. Yao, Brooks, Lowry, Bud, Andersen, Scola, Temple(?), Taylor (?), Ariza, Battier, Hayes, Cook. + 4 new guys = 16. Who leaves?
