Wow if the Rockets stay healthy they got a shot to go all the way IMO.

The only problem is they won't stay healthy lol.

Wow, this was definitely a shocker to me, didnt expect him to go to Houston, especially since they've had a fairly quiet off season. But Artest joining T Mac and Yao should definitely make them contenders as everyone has said.

How does Yao/McGrady/Artest compare to Garnett/Pierce/Allen?

Yao<Garnett
TMac>Pierce
Artest=Ray, Ray is a better shooter though.

Scola=Perkins
Rafer> Rondo
Houstons Bench>Bostons Bench

I don't even get the trade. Green is probably the good thing out of this.. all he is, is potential though... and if the Rockets manage to stay healthy that 1st rounder Sactown got won't mean jack. This is worse then the Memphis/LA trade.

Yao Ming
Luis Scola
Ron Artest
Tracy McGrady
Rafer Alston

Battier + Young up and coming bench

I like how the Rockets are looking now, but I wouldn't give them the West yet.

Looking good though, too bad we can't acquire T-Mac now...

Thye didn't get Donte, the other player can't be named untill Aug 14th, and that whos they think it is..
ESPN.COM
NBA front-office sources confirmed to ESPN.com that Artest will be dealt to the Rockets in exchange for Houston's first-round draft pick in 2009, ex-King Bobby Jackson (who arrives with a $6.1 million expiring contract) and the draft rights to Donte Greene. The Kings will also receive more than $1 million in cash, according to The Houston Chronicle, but the deal can't be announced before Aug. 14 because Greene is not eligible to be traded before then.

Greg I was just saying that it didn't have to be Donte, did you really think I was saying that they didn't trade him. I knew it was him.

questions?
a healthy Tmac, Yao, and Artest will give Lakers a run for their money any day -- plus, looks like Sasha might be bolting - that would definitely hurt the Lakers IMO

Tracy McGrady has never been out of the first round
Yao Ming is fulfilling yet another national team obligation (after a particularly nasty injury)
Rick Adelman ALWAYS comes up small in the biggest moments, and they just traded for a guy who, while a great player, triggered the biggest brawl in NBA history and has a knack for disrupting offenses by going for self.
Right now, Lakers > Rockets
