Rockets have made a trade, pending league approval (UPDATE: Padgett for Tsakalidis)

He should have his name legally changed to "Dikemb E. Insurance"

 

All right, this may be a dumb question but how do you create a roster spot by trading one player for another one? This obviously is not a 2-for-1 trade and no one was waived.

Maybe they traded Exception for Tskalidis and then Memphis traded their own exception (or cash or something) for Padgett?

 

we better not have got rid of Wells or Snyder

 

Could there be more to this, involving Chucky Atkins?

 

I don't see how this guy is going to help.

 

In order to take on a player.. they had to get rid of a player. Instead of waiving him they gave Scotty to Memphis.

 

It's fine. If something happens to Mutombo during the next month, we have a warm body, which means we are slightly better than we were this morning.

 

He had a strech 2 years ago tearing the world apart in his own away.

Not bad for a 3rd string player and he is probably going to have a big game once every blue moon.

Now what baffles me, of the spots, why did we trade for another slow center? Yao's coming back soon.

Possible post-deke plan?

If that's the case, Jake is going to be here for awhile. You better learn to like him.

 

Because it's only 4-5 weeks of minutes for the player we acquire. And the # of minutes he plays can be trimmed when we play teams without a true big (if we go to the Hayes or Howard at the 5 lineup).

So we're not talking about a huge # of minutes...and we're talking about almost no minutes once Yao is back. It seems like the perfect situation for developing an unproven guy to take the reigns from Deke after next year

 

Eh.. that NBA.com thing didnt work. Anyways whatsup with Houston only makin trades w/ Memphis......... Padgett wasn't getting played anyways I guess this is a solid move.

 

look at it this way... at least we didn't lose anyone of importance to the team. We still have Luther, Bonzi, Kirk, Rafer... ok.. well at least Luther, Bonzi, and Kirk.

















j/k!!!

 

Actually his profile photo in NBA.com is not ugly at all:

 

I'm pretty sure that's what happened.

 

Triple Towers- 7'2" 7'6" 7'2" try to get to the basket with that infront of you!
Jake will have the chance to develop his game and help V span feel more at home.

 

Fire Gundy!!!!!!

Start Jake!!!!

 

Is this where we can start the PLAY JAKE threads?

 

... dang u beat me to it.
