Rockets acquire Ron Artest

turismo · 07-29-2008, 08:54 PM

This is exactly what the Rockets needed. Someone with enough talent to help the Rockets out offensively and defensively. I believe Houston came out on top, offering only Bobby Jackson, 1st round pick and million in cash. I know when Artest played against the Rockets, he ate our azzzzzzs up. Finals for shizzle my nizzle

Yao
Battier
McGrady
Rafer
Artest

Now we can come of the bench with:

Scola
Brent Barry
Steve Francis
Luther Head
Carl Landry

Blk03G35 · 07-30-2008, 04:52 AM

Phoenix should have made a play for him

Nismo 78 · 07-30-2008, 06:32 AM

McGrady and the Rockets may actually get out of the first round this time

Artest is a good player hopefully he can keep his bipolar thug life attitude out of the game

AroundMyHorn · 08-01-2008, 08:14 AM

This a definitely a title worthy team now but I worry about our team chemistry and his shady antics. Shall be interesting.....

Chineseguy · 08-01-2008, 09:38 AM

i believe T-Mac and Artest both have to big of a Ego to play with each other at the same time. But hopefully it would work out Rocket fan myself.

You guys must not watch the rockets if you think Head should be our point gaurd. He's a role player at best.

splby · 08-01-2008, 01:25 PM

Head is a like a black hole; pass him the ball and who knows where itll end up.

My thoughts exactly. Everytime he plays the point and is about to make a pass he acts like he gets turrets and throws the ball at their feet. It's quite painful to watch.

Hey Spilby, what are we betting this year for football?

Lets see how far he gets into the season without getting in trouble for one thing or the other.

daz311x · 08-20-2008, 01:40 PM

Question is will Yao be fully recovered this year? He's been struggling in the Olympics.

As much as I like Yao and what he brings to the Rockets (season ticket sales), I think Houston should trade him. He will most likely be injured again, due to strain during the off season, and he has high trade value RIGHT NOW. Just not sure who to trade him for. I know Tim Duncan is out of the question
