    Bonzi's first game, since injury, might be against Dallas, tonight.

    Has John Patterson done it again?

    Bonzi Wells is a bust up to this point in the season. He's done nothing but be out of shape and have a bad attitiude. I doubt he's in game shape now.

    I'd trade him if you can get something for him.

    You probably did not watch the last game against Spurs. That game alone has proven to me Bonzi's worth to this team.

    If Bonzi is to do something for the Rockets he has to play tonight and tomorrow. This guy should be given the chance to play and if he is not ready by now it is time to get a true backup for Deke and trade Bonzi. Nazr of Pistons is not happy about his playing time maybe the Rockets should try and get the guy.

    Bonzi was brought in for the playoffs. At the price we got him at, he will be a bargain if he all he does is get us past the spurs.

    Play him, don't play him, I don't care.

    Just make sure not to use the MLE on him in the offseason. He clearly isn't worth any significant investment in, despite his talent.

    He'll be alright. We could make it to the playoffs without him putting up monster numbers.

    If we make a significant run in the playoffs and Bonzi stays healthy and he's the third piece behind Tmac and Yao, he will be getting offers a lot bigger than the MLE

    Even if Bonzi comes back soon I think he will need time to get going. Expect gradually progress from him if he is fit to play.

    We know he can play. Bonzi needs to start earning that paycheck and next years contract. I just don't think it'll be tonight, he's at least a month away from putting up some solid numbers, he has been in and out of the lineup too much to develop a rhythm to help the team and JVG is only going to give him minimal minutes until he does.

    Dear Bonzi,

    We are very grateful and fortunate to have you as apart of our 2007 NBA championship team. Without you, we would not have won it all. As a gesture of our appreciation, our entire team have help packed all your personal belonging. We wish you find the right team for your asking price. Please remember to communicate clearly with your agent when discussing dollar figures.

    Sincerely,

    Rockets Organization

    I agree. And even though he isn't producing right now, teams respect him because they know what he's capable of. If anything he's our biggest distraction on and off the court.

    If anything Bonzi's our best trading chip (along witgh Sura and the #1, of course).

    After being an injury-prone flake for most of the regular season, Bonzi will not be cashing in big time next season no matter what he does in the playoffs. And IF he's still on the team during the playoffs, he better not get selfish and throw up a bunch of shots trying to repeat last year's scoring spree at the expense of the Rockets teamwork. Based on the body of evidence over his entire career, what he did against the Spurs was a complete fluke.

    Bonzi will be 31 years old before the season starts next year. Any team that gives him long term big money is crazy.
