    The Warriors. He is PERFECT for their style of play.
    Fast-break offense, no plays, no half-court...
    And he doesn't have to play defense!

    Pity. I liked JT's game. I wish he got more of a chance.

    the rockets will find someone to give them a future second rounder for him.

    to be honest im not sold on him ever earning consistent minutes in the nba. he had chances to get on the court with tmac and shane injured, but never made it.

    I'm sure they have no problem getting JT to sign an extension...

    I had hopes for him but evidently management was not impressed enough by his summer league and training camp performance.

    He is paid a decent salary and he could be waived after the season.

    The only occasion JT had to display his abilities on an extended timeframe was when he started against Kobe, when he made shots and defended the latter fairly well. At least, well enough to impress many on this board.

    Watch him develop into a real NBA player and bite us in the butt.

    If he gets traded I'll be happy for him, he'll never get his chance here.

    The guy was a ball hog. He needed to learn how to pass the ball when he was given the opportunity and he didnt do it...

    This is a great move by the Rockets. So long to JT.

    We gotta stop overrating and clinging to our players. Dampier will improve this team defensively which we desperately need.

    Well, he won't be playing in England since he can't drive left.

    What the Rockets thought was going to happen when they spent 2 mill on a scorer that couldn't shoot. This is Morey's top 2 worst move ever. The first being the Rudy Gay trade. Check my sig, its was Morey's move not CD.

    Your sig is wrong.

    The Rockets would have never drafted Rudy Gay.

    They were after Brandon Roy and Thabo Sefelosha

    i cant help but think now that we have 3 centers on the roster how perfect it would be to trade taylor, hill, maybe patterson, the picks and another player for melo. we've built up the depth to withstand a trade that lessens our depth now. Its just fun to think about the possibilities...
