Dammit!!! I just heard that the Law of Gravity was not applying to Hilton Armstrong when he came in to be examined.

So much for the trade.

 

Ah ****! the trade is off then. I doubt Mcgrady can pass physics! I keed I keed.

 

HaHa, it is the physical exam, I am guessing.

So this is the trade, right:

(Of course, plus the draft picks)


What happened to Kenny Thomas?

 

That was a surprisingly insightful crew. I couldn't help but snicker at McHale drinking Morey's kool-aid.

 

As much as he is overpaid, I think he will be in our 8.5-man rotation.

Starters:
Brooks, Martin, Ariza, Scola, Hayes
Backup:
Lowry, Battier, Budinger, (Anderson or Jeffries, depending on the matchup)

 

Here's another good writeup:
http://blog.mlive.com/its-just-sports/2010/02/the_houston_rockets_undoubtedl.html

 

PG-Kevin Martin
SG-Budinger
SF-Ariza
PF-Battier
C-Hayes

We can put this line up on the floor and our center is the shortest.

 

Finally, some actual "big men".

J. Hill - 6'10
H. Armstrong - 6'11
J. Jeffries - 6'11

This should in the least, help on the boards.

 

Too bad Cook's expiring contract couldn't get us a 2nd round pick.

 

The Kings just waived KT, according to http://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA

 

It's even better than that -- we already nabbed Jordan Hill, who was a lotto pick just a few months ago.

 

I'll say Martin's health is a legitimate concern. Dude is always riding the bench, wearing a suit, due to some injury.

 

Yes, we finally have big man.
Our rotation will look much more comfortable.
I think Jeffries may help us more than Hill at this season.

 

Wow...I'm never going to class again on Trade deadline day, I missed quite a bit.

Today Our team got a alot taller, my smile got a alot bigger, my house got alot more messy after popping champagne bottles as if The Kiss Of Death had just gone in all over again.

Seriously, let's get real guys....How does Morey do it?!? What a genius! He had us all fooled last night, fooled me enough to keep me up and miss my first class this morning due to oversleeping. My fingers are crossed that the Knicks really bottom out and DaMarcus Cousins replaces Carl Landry next year.

 

Well if Cousins comes out this year, UTAH will love to get him since they own the 2010 pick.

 

At first I was like
