Bobby Jackson played well in rick adelman's system while in sac-town and wells and james brings tuffness to a potenital western conf finalist.

Alright, playa.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

If mike and bonzi come in with the mentality to blend in and play to win.....the hornets just made an awesome trade. Bonzi has been sufficated with Houston. With the Hornets? He has a shot at starting.

I think they will regre this deal. I thought Bnzi Wells ws a big help for them ad he came with very little alary around 2M. I don't lik this trade- and I think the rockets will pay for it. Bonzi is way more versaile with his inside game, post up and especially rebounding.

With Yao on the court for 35+ minutes in the playoffs, why do you need another post player? And it's the PG position that keeps on hampering the Rockets.

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.

They have this guy his name is Luis Scola who's pretty good. And between Battier, Chuck Hayes, Carl Landry, Steve Novak, and Kirk Snyder they won't be missing Bonzi all that much.

I think they won like 9 or 10 in a row. They will get Luther head back in time for the playoffs, I am not sure what Alston is doing wrong - he is like in the top ten in terms of numbers for a PG. Recently - he has played very well.

The Rockets are not a very good reboundng team-other than Yao and maybe Scola- they don't have bigs who rebound. Why change things when you have won ten in row- and they have beat god teams during tha run. I guess I stil remember Bonzi during the playoffs with Scaremento- he was a monster- and I still think he adds a lot This was a silly move to get rid of Mike James- but hey- its just an opinion.

Bonzi was getting no burn, so what chemistry are they ruining?

20 min (how is that no burn) a game ruffly 10 pts/5 rebounds/1/2 a block and 1.5 steals. As I said - I remember him from those playoffs- and I really think they made a mistake. I have seen quite a few Rockets games this season - and the ones I saw - he was a valuable contributor- I just feel he would have been more valuable as you get into the playoffs. The rush to dump Mike James- cost them a player that I dont think they have another of- I don't think Scola/Battier/Landry etc -can do what Wells does.

the Hornets and Rockets smell blood. between Tony Parker's heel and Mark Cuban's panic move, they have a very good shot at finishing 1 and 2 in the SW division.
the stop underrating David Lee movement 1. FIRE MIKE 2. HIRE MULLIN 3. PAY AVERY 4. FREE NATE!!!

Bonzi Wells was garbage and will always be.
Classical underperformer and nutcase.
JaleBlazerBrother = Isiah Tomas type player.

landry was up up and away player, a P.T pee'er, a rim rocker, one of the "you can't touch this boys"
