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

Thanks for the props.

 

If this is "IT" as far as deals we will be making then I say ..... something for tomorrow,

but for now, is Adelman doing a van gundy? instead of rebuilding the Knicks system is he trying to rebuild the SAC system by bringing in old derelicts like when gundy brought in strickland, oakly and that idiot overthehill knick PG who's knee blew out and he became an assistant coach on our bench??
What was that guy's name again? . . . .

maybe divac will come back and join the reunion along with Peja and Webb.

 

war bobby jackson raining down 3's!!!!

 

Lets convince Bill Gates to retire and buy Les out!

I'm officially a HOF (Haluska Only Fan)

 

This trade gets a big F!!!

I understand that we needed to get rid of Mike James and basically that cost us Bonzi Wells. But we really need to replace him, we need a third scorer who can create shots for himself.

Even though this trade get a F for now, I'll be re-grading this tomorrow .

 

Ive been dead tired since for about 3 hours and i cant sleep either, this is ridiculous but as with all the trades i'll wait before i judge it, from a financial standpoint who wouldnt want to save a few million dollars, its just a blow especially on a win streak and him being the third option

i am truly baffled and boggled of the mind at this juncture of seconds and hours

 

I didn't bring it up.

I don't think it was stupid.

I am proud to own up to it and I still believe it.

Make another comment like that... I dare you.

With the deal, the Rockets will move under the luxury tax and might have an opportunity to make another roster move. Also with the deal, they move their player salaries under the luxury tax threshold of $67.865 million by enough that if there is a player available they would want to add, they could release a player to create a roster spot and sign a free agent to a pro-rated salary for the rest of the season without incurring a luxury tax penalty.

To complete the deal, Memphis will receive forward Marcus Vinicius and either a second-round pick or the rights to former Rockets draft pick Malick Badiane and the rights to an unsigned player from the Hornets.

The key for the Rockets was to get Jackson while moving the last contract tied to the burdensome, long-term contracts they gave when rebuilding.

With Luther Head back from his groin injury, Wells' playing time was expected to decrease in the backcourt while the emergence of rookies Luis Scola and Landry has already reduced his minutes at power forward, where he often finished games early in the season. Wells' playing time will now be spread among Head, Landry, Scola, Chuck Hayes and Steve Novak.

Wells had averaged 22 minutes per game and was the Rockets' fourth-leading scorer, averaging 9.2 points per game, though his extended playing time often came in the 15 games Tracy McGrady missed.

A late signing before the 2006-07 season, Wells clashed initially with former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy, then, once moved into the rotation on Dec. 12, 2006, struggled with injuries and conditioning. He chose to return to the Rockets when Van Gundy was replaced by Rick Adelman but again struggled early in the season and received inconsistent playing time, though he had played relatively well in the Rockets' nine-game win streak.

James, reacquired last June for Juwan Howard, has played in just 33 games, averaging 6.5 points on 35 percent shooting. He was inactive for Tuesday's 93-85 victory over Cleveland when Head returned from his groin injury.

For the Rockets, however, the key to the deal was to try again to find a veteran point guard after the additions of James and Steve Francis failed to bring help.

Jackson, who will turn 35 next month, had his best seasons playing for Adelman in Sacramento, where he was a key player off the bench for five seasons and won the 2003 NBA Sixth Man of the Year award.

Jackson has struggled this season, averaging 6.8 points on 38.6 percent shooting, while splitting time with Janerro Pargo behind starter Chris Paul.

This has been Jackson's first season in which he has not scored in double figures since 2000-01, his first season in Sacramento.

 

i want corey maggette, oh well.....

 

Alexander cheap b*stard.

 

we rockets fan need something to smile about, might as well do it together

 

I wonder if Morey contacted the Clippers for Cassell. I bet Bonzi and James could've gotten us Cassell since Cassell and BJax have similar contracts 1 less year for Cassell. Also the whole idea of Bonzi against us makes me sick.

 

HAHAHAHAHA, lol, nice

 

But you're obviously bad luck...

 

True, and that would most likely put the Rockets right back up over the cap.

So maybe the most likely follow-up deal is... as DaDakota suggests:

Signing Mike Harris.

Which I would say isn't that bad a deal.
