And if it came down to Wells having to choose between a $4.1 million offer (forthcoming) from Houston and a slightly higher offer from Charlotte (if one is even forth), McGrady's jawing in Wells' ear could tip the scales.

"We're really good friends. I was with Bonzi this offseason, was talking to him, and Houston's a place he's real interested in. He's a grown man, he's been in this league for a long time, and the decision will really come down to him," McGrady said.

"I'm sure [the Rockets] want him. What he did in the postseason this year, it was eye-catching. I've been trying to make that work because I think Bonzi would be a great addition to our team to add more depth as far as matching up against teams like Phoenix, Dallas and San Antonio."

Has Battier given Wells a call and told him a $4 mil endorsement contract fell in his lap mysterily weeks after he was traded to Rockets? I am sure there are other chinese brands which are eager to hand out endorsement contracts to Rox players. They show Rox every rox game over there. That is 80 some games every year to maybe 100 million audience. $2 million a year is a bargain.

What can Bonzi endorse? Weight loss programs? Anger management programs? Headbands?

That's an interesting advantage playing for Rox.

There's limitless possibilities.

Totally agree. I even give the same opinion at my first thread "Let's say,Alexander stake on this season" before Battier's visit.

Yao / Battier / T-mac / Wells / Alston
Mutombo/ Howard / Snyder / Header / V-span
/ Hayes / Novak / Jacobson / JLIII

wow!

BTW , coach : the clutch bear

The thing i like the best about it is that it helps Battier play the 4 more. The thing that most worried me about Battier was his rebounding, with the added rebounding that Wells brings it can offset somewhat. Also his lowpost offense will be a dimension to this team we dont have.

Don't forget Charlie Villanueva. (I know, I know. I feel bad even making the joke because he has a condition.)
