i bet houston is stocking up on solid roll players right now and then make a hard push in 2010 for a star.
finally, we get some good news!!!!!
[QUOTE=konex]Why would the Lakers offer him the MLE when they had a chance at Artest? He took the best deal for himself. And he even got a ring too.
Good luck, Trev :rockon:[/QUOTE]
The Lakers offered him the MLE before they went after Artest. David Lee said their offer was a slap in the face, yet he gets the same money else where out of spite. I got mad luv for Trev, so I wish him the best and even more excited we replaced him with Artest.
[QUOTE=rezznor]im hearing he signed for 5 years/33 mil[/QUOTE]
I don't mind giving him this deal. Good young player.
IMO do some sort of trade with T-macs expirer to get Amare( if he agrees to extend contract) so we dont go with a 6 foot 6 center.
Its a win-win.... Phoenix gets a superstar in T-mac ( cause they will revive him with their GOAT staff)
Rockets get a center whos not shorter than their shooting gaurd
Brooks
Ariza
Battier
Scola
Amare

Landry
Hayes
James white
Lowry
Jermaine Taylor

yup, with the situation we are in right now, i would rather give this deal to ariza then to artest.
[QUOTE=rezznor]im hearing he signed for 5 years/33 mil[/QUOTE]
He really does need to fire that agent of his...Locked in for the MLE regardless of whether he does break out:ohwell:

MLE starts at around 5.80 and can go up around 8-10% every year, so he'd earn more every season.
Man..sad to see trev go..good luck trev!!! I will always be a fan of yours!! Good luck to your roxs too!! I will be rooting for you and your team!! Hope yao comes back!! He's one of my favorite player!j

Dunk all over yo ass!!!
[QUOTE=Meticode]So you're saying no other team wanted Shaq, but Cleveland?[/QUOTE]
Yes other teams wanted him.. But lets be real.. He isn't going to make you guys as good as the LAKERS or Boston if Sheed lands there... Cavs are still not that GREAT.. You just got older and slower...
Your team will have problems vs the LAKERS and their huge lineup.. The Celtics with Rasheed at center will take Shaq away from the basket...
The Cavs should have built a young athletic team around Lebron.. At this point you have the two slowest centers in the league, the worst starting pf , IF VAREJO STAYS, among all title contending teams, the shortest back court in the league as well..

Took the world champs to 7 games. heck we were the ony team to do that. we are gonna see a rockets team that is up in you're face for 48 minutes non stops we'll play lot of trap defene, lots of full court press defense and on offense we'll see lots of fast break opportunities. heck we play better defense without the 7-6 dinasour who probaly will never be a franchise player or even play.
[QUOTE=SCREWstonRockets]Nice, at least we get something! Can you guys who've seen him play for a while tell me about the type of player Ariza can become?[/QUOTE]
The Goods...........
A decent roll player, can shoot open jump shots, slash/cuts to the basket alot, long and athletic.
The Bads............
cannot create shots offensively, below average ball handler, will only thrive with 2-3 other stars on team.
Basically when he was in NY he sucked, when he was in Orlando he sucked, came to LA and made something out of nothing. He was a perfect fit in LA but can't say the same once or IF he goes to Houston.
