    Finally will have two C's that play D and can rebound. It is a win win situation for the Rockets. Plus Flynn and Hasheem were not getting much PT.

    I quite like this trade. Definitely an upgrade on backup center. But with his age, I just hope his body won't break down anytime soon.

    I'm gonna have to get used to his shot...ironically Dalembert's shot looks similar just not as extreme

    How many years have we wanted Camby?

    Non-rotation expirings for a rotation expiring at the cost of a 2nd round pick we can likely buy if we wanted.

    Rockets trading away all their picks like we are in WIN NOW mode... smh

    Giving away a #1 for Fisher and a #2 for Camby.. Ridiculous.

    I am seriously looking hope in this team (more so the management).

    Except none of that is true. Rockets got a pick for taking on Fisher and the #2 is likely to never be conveyed.

    SMH at the people on this forum.

    If only Camby were 33-34... but he seems to still be playing at a high level -- I think his scoring and rebounds will go up a bit with the Rockets.

    I only saw D.Fisher in the trade ticker, I was totally :mad: then I went online and saw Camby. This is a trade for a playoff run, Camby will give you inside presence and he will not shoot a lot which gives players that need to shoot, shots. I'd take Camby over Dalembert because Bear should not be shoot much unless he is in the paint. What we gave up, it was advantage Rockets. I hate to say we might of gotten Fisher in his last season, just like G.Rice, B.Barry and Eddie Johnson.

    I like this trade and the other Fisher trade. Basically they were Net win/gain. So favorable on the part of the Rockets.

    But what's with Morey micromanaging with these little trades? It's like we are slightly better for next year. Then next year we are slightly better for the year after that, and so on. This has been going on for the past 3-4 years..

    Baby steps I guess..
