    if this trade goes down, Morey will compound his mistakes in Mike James trade. Nothing but sad.

    U guys will be happy if Bobby Jackson can play 60 games in a season.

    Rockets would have to release a player (Snyder) to make room before they could make the deal. Maybe they are waiting on an answer from Memphis before they pull the plug. I would be very surprised and disappointed if this goes down without Miller or Artest involved.

    If this is the only deal we are making then i think im done with this team for this season. there is no way we can win with those three and give up our sixth man

    landry cannot pass or put the ball on the floor like bonzi. jackson isn't an expiring contract either.

    Looks like this deal gets us right under the luxury tax threshold. If so, this is not Morey's fault - he was ordered by Les to get under the threshold.

    Ok that's the third time that video has been posted ;)

    I wouldn't do this deal if i were the rockets, maybe they can cut one of the fillers and sign MIKE HARRIS

    I'll only like this trade if it goes down exactly like this

    Bonzi+James for Jackson+Haluska(team option/expiring)+Vinicius(expiring)+2nd round pick

    Rockets waive Haluska and Vinicius

    Sonics waive Barry

    Rockets sign Barry.

    No Barry, no trade.

    If this is the deal, I bet we cut Snyder to make room on the roster.

    Are we trading to get better or are we trading for other reasons is the question.

    Mike James, Bonzi Wells --> New Orleans
    Bobby Jackson, Adam Haluska, Marcus Vinicius --> Houston

    That's just under $6.8 million salary in to the Rockets annually and over $8.1 million out. So not only do the Rockets get out of the final year of James' contract, they save money this season and possibly get under the luxury tax (how much are they over? I know it's not by much)

    They can't think Landry is taking the scoring wing minutes, can they? I mean there has to be a replacement deal for Wells... that would make this move genius, but as much as I hate to say it, the cynic in me is thinking this is a cost-cutting move with no follow-up.

    not good at all if it goes down. we get yet another streaky outside shooter along with 2 benchwarmers for a attacking wing player who can create mismatches and attack the basket. this better not go down.
