Comments on: Rockets trade Bonzi, Mike James to Hornets for Bobby Jackson http://www.yaomingmania.com/blog/2008/02/21/rockets-trade-bonzi-mike-james-to-hornets-for-bobby-jackson Where fans of Yao Ming and the Houston Rockets can find out the latest on Yao Fri, 04 Jul 2008 20:40:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: arthurko from LA http://www.yaomingmania.com/blog/2008/02/21/rockets-trade-bonzi-mike-james-to-hornets-for-bobby-jackson#comment-11416 arthurko from LA Fri, 22 Feb 2008 10:39:42 +0000 http://www.yaomingmania.com/blog/2008/02/21/rockets-trade-bonzi-mike-james-to-hornets-for-bobby-jackson#comment-11416 im trying to understand this trade because from a skills standpoint, the rockets are losing out heavily. From a financial standpoint, I dont see it doing much either unless Bobby Jacksons contract will be expiring soon. This could be one of those trades that makes some salary cap room. But even Kirk Snyder for Gerald Green which has its limited financial potential is a bad trade in my opinion. Gerald Green is a slam dunk champion and thats it. He has no ability to understand defensive and offensive concepts (quoted by someone on the Timberwolves) and the fact that he would do a through the leg dunk in his socks after doing one in his shoes for his final dunk alone (referring to 08 slam dunk contest) shows his incapacity for intelligence. Thats what my girlfriend Tina feels also. Put 2 down for a bad trade~ im trying to understand this trade because from a skills standpoint, the rockets are losing out heavily.

It is now beyond doubt that this team does care about where it ends up in the league. Now, it is very easy for Yao and T-Mac to make decisions on their future. Their fans would not forgive them if they do not move on. Houston is not trading for a better roster, but for financial reasons.

Why do want to trade for a 35 year-old guard who has been shooting under 40% in the past three year??? Mike James is already doing that, and you are also giving up Wells for this old guy. The GM should be fire for this. The Rockets need shooters around Yao, not guard shooting under 40%. This is areally bad trade.

Also it saves up few million dollars, thats also what happened in Green trade, Green has contract worth 1.4 million, Snyder 2.1, throw in a pick, and we are all playing a game. Look just how much money it saves up, Rockets got rid of fat James contract and got at least something out of nothing, like he was going to average all the sudden 20 ppg. It should be interesting to see how does Gerald Green and Bobby Jackson fit in, Jackson has good technique, while Green is probably the most athletic player in Houston, ever! And Haluska, isn't bad, scouts on university say he's underrated, but he's a longshot! John, this trade gets Rockets under the luxury tax which allowed them to get Green!

If t-mac plays with half of Bonzi's brain rox will be much better team. And in the playoff, when you need a bucket, you want someone who can take it to the hole. (ie, LB, Dwade, Parker..) Bad Trade! Happy for Bonzi and mike at least they have a better chance personally. Bonzi is the only one who likes to go to the basket and finish.

Lets remember that Bobby played for Adelman back in Sac town when they were in thier prime. Can he still be a clutch player......Tough call. He can still play/and his training is really good, but im not sure if they wanted a guy who does not take it to the hole as often as he did. We may have gotten another pull up jumper ala t-mac...oh-boy...not good. Ok…I have been following Bobby for a while now.
