    Said this could make Rockets Top 2 in West!

    Restated T-Mac's statement that it was the best news in 11 years in NBA.

    stephen a. said that houston should be one of the top 2 teams in the western conf.

    i take all of stephen a's comments with a grain of salt, but getting some espn love can't be a bad thing for the rockets.

    oh my ...

    when i first heard from my buddies shouting "ARTEST!" i was like "this can't be true."

    wow, i'm delirious right now. i hope that iverson rumor aint true though ... on paper, iverson, tmac, artest, and yao seems ideal ... but still ... but that's for another forum topic.

    i'm in a dilemma of who should start ... battier? artest?

    i can't believe how good this deal is for us. we got rid of a position we have excess of and we didn't lose any key players at all. i'm sad to see donte go ... but man this is just too good of news ...

    GO ROCKETS!

    Artest is very happy to play in Houston under Rick Adelman, Tracy McGrady is ecstatic, and they said one of the main reasons the trade went thru was because of Adelman, and his relationship with the kings...i can't wait untill next year now..and Stephen a Smith said this puts the rockets as one of the top 2 teams in the west

    I hear you. Stephen A. didn't really say anything brilliant but at least he didn't say anything stupid, either. He basically just made the obvious comments about how this impacts the Rockets and the Western Conf and talked about McGrady's reaction.

    Still trying to digest this unbelievable deal. Who'd have thought the BJax deal would lead to this?!

    August 14?

    Sh**. That's enough time for Artest to pick up a misdemeanor, a felony, and violate probation.

    The bright side of this being a contract year for Artest is that he'll play his arse off.

    I bet RA is happy to get RA back to play alongside RA.

    If Francis comes back in good shape and plays like vintage Stevie Franchise.
    PG:Francis-Alston-Brooks
    SG:McGrady-Barry-Head
    SF:Artest-Battier-Novak or Harris
    PF:Scola-Landry-Hayes
    C: Yao-Mutombo-Dorsey

    That's some crazy depth.
