    Been hitting refresh all day waiting for this. Probably Sampson. Atkins would be ideal.

    The Rockets reached an agreement to acquire Grizzlies center Jake Tsakalidis on Tuesday, hours before their trade exception was to expire, sending little-used veteran forward Scott Padgett to Memphis to create a roster spot.

    Tsakalidis, a 7-2, 260-pound center, played in 23 games this season, averaging 2.3 points and 2.8 rebounds in 11.2 minutes per game.

    A first-round pick of the Phoenix Suns in the 2000 Draft, Tsakilidis averaged five points and 4.2 rebounds last season, his best of his four seasons with the Grizzlies.

    Padgett, signed as a free agent this summer, has played in 24 games this season, averaging 1.8 points, in 8.3 minutes per game. Only rookie forward Steve Novak has played less.

    Because the salaries do not match, the teams likely had to exchange trade exceptions. Rockets officials would not comment until the deal was made official later today.

    he averaged over 5 rebounds in 04 and 05 in 10-13 minutes of play. He's only 23 and 6'11", but I don't know all that much about him ... other than he's a former 2nd rounder.

    Like the rebound numbers though!

    awww... not that he was contributing a lot, but I will miss seeing Scotty. Maybe they will let him play in Memphis.. not like they have a lot of options better than Scotty ;) Plus he's closer to home in KY.

    A horrible trade is giving up something for nothing.

    Giving up nothing for nothing is a "meh" trade.

    What the... You know this guy is going to suck and we are just going to have a re-do of Majcej Lampe?

    Rockets have a thing for European Center scrubs.

    Wow, we now have 3 well-over-7' centers... they may be slow, but no one's getting into the paint.

    Omg... theres no way he is going to figure out JVG's pick and roll scheme. No freaking way. At least we didn't just let it expire.
