    Stephen Jackson at 3 years 8 something million is not bad for his type of play. 15-16 points a game and playing next to Martin. Get 'er done D-Mo!! ;)

    Sorry about the early amount. Thats going to be 3 years at $8,453,250. It may be different on other websites. Anyways, he is 32 and still plays 40 minutes a game.

    I don't think its just 8 min, I think it ends up at 12M. But we need better players on this team, and the whole " don't sign overpaid players" moneyball strategy when out the window the day DM signed Miller to 5m a year.

    Trade him straight up for Battier, Brown would love to get a player who plays "the right way". Maybe we can squeeze a 2nd rounder too considering we will be saving the bobcats some $$$.

    Yeah good idea cbd. Sjax jacks a ton of shots but he's a good all around player to have. Good defender, rebounder and of course scorer. There are no egos on the rox roster so a diva like him won't cause any problems. We'd basically have a rich man's ariza...complete with piss poor attitude :p

    He can play D and score... Sign me up. He's something this team could definitely use and would give this team more of an identity. Underrated floor leader. Captain Jack would give us more swagger.

    Despite appearances, we aren't desperate. Making a move for this loser wreaks of a kneejerk reaction and goes against everything the Rockets are about. There is a big picture to consider .......... and with Yao finally coming off the books at his present contract along with our present assets.....we are positioned well for Morey to put together what Adelman needs to taxes care of business.

    He's worth it. He can give you 20 a nite and pass, play D, rebound. And no one would mess with our guys with him around.

    Lowry
    Martin
    Jack
    Scola
    Yao

    Where do I sign.

    Captain Jack is a no bull **** guy that we definitely need on this team.

    That lineup would be very very good.

    I had always wanted Houston to get him even before he went to Charlotte. All that we would really have to give up would be Jeffries expiring to get him. Also, the more i read about it, it seems as if Charlotte is looking to blow the team up and start the rebuilding process. We could probably get G. Henderson as well for Taylor.
