    This got to be one of the worse trade of all time, what the hell do we need Wesley for? We are loaded at 1 and 2, now we trade away our only true 3 to bring another guard? CD, are you on f**king crack??

    This just feels like there must be another deal coming. They did free up an additional roster spot by moving Boki. I sure hope so.

    Positive: Wesley knows his role better. It will also force Tmac
    and Yao to take leadership roles.

    Negative: We are getting older and older.

    He may have loved JJ, but his loyalty is to the team and fans (and his butt) first. Which makes me think... is there another trade coming? Because unless JJ was a disturbance behind the scenes, I honestly don't see Wesley as being much of an upgrade, if any, over him, especially considering Wesley's injuries as of late.

    Give me an f'n break. :rolleyes: JVG is not the GM. CD and Les are the ultimate personnel decision makers and would not make a trade that they did not feel benefitted the team.

    Not with this trade. JJ and Wesley are the same age I think. I am not taking Boki in effect.

    I knew I wasnt crazy when I voted for BOKI to be the next off the team.....BUT JJ, wow:eek: We are really gonna need the "3 BAWL" to fall for someone else now... I hope it works for the best, Props to CD for atleast tring to make things better even though right now we are all not sure how this will pan out.. I really liked JJ, "but wow man wow!!"

    The word is JJ will not report and is threatening retirement over this. He's furious right now (My boy said REALLY mad in like he's seriously reeeeal mad!!) Take that for what it is, I guess.

    Also, Sura is most likely going on IR soon as he's injured again...

    More as it comes in...

    I guess I feel extremely moderately par about this trade. I still get this feeling that something else is in the works.

    Ah! Sura to the IR!

    Now that explains it! LOL!

    Thanks for the info, Doc, you're the best!

    Hopefully there's another trade in the works!

    I had a feeling about this ::JJ being PISSED and possibly retiring::. But why would Sura go to the IR?

    This just seems like a really really dumb trade. I don't get it at all. JJ is the team leader!! I was just getting a bit excited again after last night's game, and now this. And we needed another "old fart" guard? Are the Rockets starting a retirement center?! :mad:
