I think now that we know the deal with T-Mac, that will change a lot of things for this team. Another thing that will help, is having 4 home games. This allows us to finally get some practice time and give Rick a chance to build some cohesiveness. He will know what 8-9 players he is working with and get those guys going. As for trades I think the only person Morey will look to move will be L Head. In three weeks we should see Artest and T-Mac back in the rotation and that will cure a lot of issues. Wafer will be a really good backup SG by then as well. So Brooks, Artest, Landry, and Wafer off the bench will be great for this team.
Artest used to have toughness before he came to the Rockets. It seems like in trying to fit in he has become soft like the rockets were last year and the beginning of this year. We need the Artest who used to get technical fouls and fight, not this version of Artest. I think Ron, McGrady, Yao, and Adelman need to have a sit down and get everything out in the open before this season is thrown away, maybe they all need to see a shrink who knows. Lets face it McGrady is here til the end of the season he's not going anywhere during the middle of the year and even if he did your not going to get an equally talented player in return.
