yep atleast the rockets know this team they had before wasnt going anywhere. so there should be more especially at the pf position

this trade sucks so much ass we should have traded
charlie ward and boki for david wesley
could this be a elaborate move to trade for a powerforward???

i had wesley on my fantasy team last year
he put up pretty good numbers
BUTwe needed a pf
i dont know why they are trading around for shooters
(i guess they realized non of our shooters are making shots)
i know i saw tyron miss at least 20 WIDE open shots

David Wesley isnt a bad player...although i didnt agree with dealing JJ, the rockets have hit a low point and they're making moves that they think will improve the team...with the tallest Center in the NBA and a 2-time scoring champion on the squad, theres no way that they should have a sub-.500 record...its not about who you like and dont like, whats important is what is good for the team...I liked JJ, and could live with Boki, but with him riding the pine 90% of the time, i couldnt see the rockets going anywhere anytime soon with their previous lineup...

12-27-2004, 03:41 PM
theres many players riding the pine that we should try to trade off for a decent pf

bad move for Rockets but Houston has been making questionable moves lately...

yea but not ones that any team would give anybody decent for...why would you want to rotate common/sorry ass players with other teams? if anything, we shoulda traded both mo and juwan for a decent Carlos Boozer type PF...

Charlie Ward is gone?!?!
ITS ABOUT FUKKIN TIME!!! Dat muhfukka cant play basketball. HE FUKKIN SUCKS!!!
Trading/Getting rid of Jackson was a pretty good sized fukk up though.
Sura and Jackson would have been a good tandem w/ TMac, Yao and Barry. imo.

but there are teams in desperate need of players
like the nets
somehow (i have faith) that we can pull off a trade to make the team better
WE DIDNT TRADE CHARLIE WARD

the only reason why wesley had good numbers is because hes on the sorry ass hornets. someones going to have to score with baron davis missing so much of the season. wesley is a good player and he does have a shot much like JJ but i still would rather have jim jackson. this is not the end of the moves

so what is the starting line up going to look like? sura-pg, wesley-sg, tmac-sf, howard-pf, yao-c? so off the bench will be deke, barry, mo, barrett/ward? who will backup the sf position ryan bowen?

pretty much correct for now until more moves are made

The day they trade Yao Ming, I will give up watching the Rockets.
fuck that...yao is as tough as a wnba player..hell i think even lisa leslie could knock him down. Yao needs to toughen up if he wants to compete with physical centers in the nba.

hes getting better and better every yea IMO.. JJ is gone. I will not watch anymore. No, I will not jump on the Wesley wagon if he hits shots.

yeah i thought JJ found a home here in houston where he fit the offense pretty well. hes bounced around the league so much and hes a good player

this has to be a move for a bigger move
no way will we have tmac at a 3 spot too long

holy shit ..can Carrol Dawson be anymore ass backwards..i should have given up when they let Hakeem go..fucking retard..jim jackson is always the bait cant they give him a fuckin break..Dawson shows no loyalty to players..this puts Tmacs future in question to me..i can see him trading Tmac for 5 players next year if we dont make the playoffs cuz he would rather keep, fuckin Mo Taylor or Charlie Ward instead of JJ. it makes no sense JJ and Boki will be combining for about 35pts in the near future if they both start. and we will have David Wesley. whoopty fuckin doo! jeez can we trade Carroll Dawson, Jeff Van Gundy, and Patrick Ewing for Larry Brown? PLeeeeease. I just hope this is to set up a bigger deal or that a deal including Taylor, Ward and ??(sura) is in the works. BTW id rather Barret at the point than Sura..lol at the beginning of the season they complained about continuity and now they are gonna have a completely diff bench in about 2weeks..lol

By the looks of the write ups on this trade ..it was set up by the Hornets..and Houston just complied with what they wanted. even more BS..One player for 2 is just shit especially when the guy is barely above ave in his position.. :yeahno:

I have to say that I hate to see JJ go.. I mean I thought he would finish his career in a rockets Jersey I do think that he fits the System VERY well... Now about Wesley... He can hit the open jumper!! I figure this trade is a wash because JJ and Wesley even eachother out both of them can not down the open Jumper the only difference is that JJ can get some boards!! I think the rockets next move is going to involve Mo or Howard!!!!!

JJ has a body to work with for boards and D...

I stand right behind you on that note and I think van gundy needs to be traded

firing van gundy was my pick too but oh well if these trades dont end up helping the rockets at all we can all say bye to van gundy

they ended up starting jon at the 2 and moved tmac to the 3 tonight so the 3 is basically tmac permanent position now
