Trade: Bonzi, James for Bobby Jackson? (UPDATE: Done Deal)

for some odd reason, i secretly wish Mark Cuban to be the boss of this team. He is a biatch but he loves and cares about winning and he is willing to spend to get to the promising land

 

Yes, the reactionaries and nay-sayers here are WAAAY undervaluing the utility of getting rid of MJ's contract. That will help us a lot in future years and it shows shortsightedness on the part of the people here to characterize planning for the future as "a salary dump to save money".

 

Another money saving move. Nothing else.I'm getting angry now. Bonzi may not be much better than B.Jackson but this is bad for us.We have 15 spots,can a 3 for 2 trade work even if both of the rookies are waived?

 

So If the deal goes through then you wont watch anymore of their games, right. That will make you a bandwagoner

 

Do you think the Miller deal could be a follow up to this?

 

Not really. We're never going to be under the cap enough to do anything significant with Yao/Tmac on the payroll.

 

by done i mean im not going to waste $400 to travel to houston just to watch live basketball games. why freaking waste my money when i know there is no hope of winning a ship?

 

If there are no other deal on the table, PLEASE SAY NO TO THIS DEAL. PLEASE

 

Going by ESPN's trade machine salary numbers the Rockets would still need to cut around 18k to get under luxury tax.

 

So are we going full throttle small ball or what.What happens if tracy get's hurt who is our back up 2 guard.

 

No, J-HO will be an expiry contract next season.

 

I won't really help us as long as we still have two max players. We already traded a lott pick for a veteran to put us in a win now position. So if you are win now you don't make moves just to save some $$$, especially when the team has just won 9 straight.

 

yeah, if this is in fact the deal i definitely will not be holding my breath on another deal to follow.

in the words of the immortal david puddy, "this is bogus, man."

 

Really tho

 

ESPN/Truehoop a few weeks back reported 1.5M. This deal cuts around 1.33M going by the salary numbers used at NBA trade machine.

 

Are you Morey?
Future years? what about this year?
If I am Yao and T-MAC, I'll demand a trade out of Rockets.

 

I seriously doubt that the Rockets cut Snyder and keep both scrubs from this trade. Actually, Kirk Snyder is capable of giving the team SOME (of course not all) of what Bonzi was giving them. Plus, with Luther Head back in the lineup, the team does not need Bonzi as much.

The Rockets' bench rotation would now look something like this:

Bobby Jackson
Luther Head
Carl Landry
Aaron Brooks
Chuck Hayes

Steve Novak
Kirk Snyder
Dikembe Mutombo
Vinicius/Haluska (one will be waived)

Steve Francis (injured)

 

BJ just dropped 17 on dallas...

 

Les if you can't afford the team sell it.

DAM I hate to have a Cheap/Greedy Owner.

 

Why would we trade one Adelman guy for another Adelman guy when the one we have is better?
