    Houston basically traded two starters on a two time NBA finalist for a guy who violated the league's substance abuse policy and now missing in action.

    Imagine if the Rockets had Jefferson and Colin on their squad ... All I could say was WOW ...

    Makes me look forward to the next trade thread, though most of those include EG now.

    There are two words that describe Richard Jefferson and Jason Collins. JASON KIDD.
    Also if the Nets were in the west they would have a tough time getting out of the first round.

    Ha ha, two starters on an nba finals team. Jason Collins was a starter in name only, as he got abused regularly by the best from the west. Both aaron frikkin williams and mutombo had bigger impacts.

    Richard Jefferson dragged his team down with his inability to shoot even a basic midrange jumpshot Oh how i long for him to be on the rockets. When receiving that pass from Yao, he could then drive into the crowded paint and desparately try to get the foul call.

    The bad trades, poor personnel decisions,and bloated contracts the Rockets made in the last several years may take years to undo.

    Jesus, we have a team capable of being the #6 seed in the West and sneaking into the 2nd round, while being anchored by an elite PG and Center, and yet there are posts that pop up talking about undoing "years of bad contracts and trades", and a trade that went down several years ago. I think the Rockets are doing a great job of working through the "bad trades and personnel decisions and bloated contracts". There are a number of fans that would kill to be in the Rockets position right now.
