Dude, that is so played out it's not even funny........Bonzi got unfairly wrapped up in the "Jailblazer" scene when he didn't even get involved in hardly any off the court issues.
Outside of him and JVG not being on the same page He's been nothing, but a model citizen in Houston and he'll be a productive bench player in NOLA.........if he's so much trouble and y'all don't want him, then send his ass back, because quite frankly I'm tired of Houston giving hand outs to New Orleans.
First we let y'all over take the city
Then we gift wrap the most hyped player to come out of the NFL draft in the last 15 years (although that one kinda backfired on y'all)
and
now, we throw away a productive rotation guy to a team that has absolutely no depth for nothing, but peanuts and one year shaved off Mike James' contract and then Hornet fans are just going to bi[COLOR="Black"]t[/COLOR]ch about it.

He was a big part of the win last night against the Mavs. But Bonzi will bring something to the Hornets that they need...someone coming off the bench to help West guard against Kobe.

Re: Bonzi and M. James to NO for B. Jackson?
IMO this is the second worst trade this year(if it happens) after the Pau - Kwame trade.

Re: Bonzi and M. James to NO for B. Jackson?
So who replaces Bonzi? He was our only guard with size that had game. Wish it would have been Kirk but oh well. Something tells me there is another trade in the works? Because it doesn't make much sense to give up a big part of our bench. At least we got rid of Mike James' contract.

Bonzi also plays the small forward position and power forward position when the Rockets go small.
This makes no sense, Bonzi is a good defender and rebounder.

You wont hear me b@#chin about it. I think its a great deal for Hornets. I think Bonzi will fit in just fine down here. As far as the comment about people overtaking Houston...sorry about your 2-cent luck. We are trying to rebuild a whole city, stop complaining about a little population surge.

Well, Houston' position is misleading. Not "hot". The org is in season-long stasis.
If you really consider the rockets in relation to the other top West teams, they really are not going anywhere this year. Sooner or later you have to get rid of the team's negative players before the real winning can start. Might as well move James (a liability in so many ways) and Bonzi and start the process for next year.
NO - not sure why they would take those two. Maybe they think they can get 3 months of excited motivated ball out of them?

@ Rockets fans being so mad that they're turning this into a New Orleans vs Houston thing.

Re: Bonzi and M. James to NO for B. Jackson?
Didn't the Rockets just trade for Mike James this past off season?
Is Pat Riley the GM in Houston too?

well, first, I bet bonzi is glad he took that player's option for this year but hey at least they are being moved to a contender.
and james isnt trash. he can be a good defender (remember him and lindsey as the "bulldogs" off the bench in 04?) and he can fill it up. He could be a nice change of pace and can play the 2 as well. I think this is a very good trade for NO, not sure for the rox other than losing a guy who didnt play much (james). DO they have a backup wing now?

Well doesn't point-center T-Mac play all the positions? :)
Regarding James, yes I remember his D. All too well. In the past when he was motivated, healthy and quick, he SOMETIMES was an ok defender. Today James is trash and his defense is horrible. Add the contract, personality issues, wild shooting, inconsistency, uncoachability...
Lastly he lost the starting job in Houston to Alston (ALSTON!!!) another chucking attitude guy, who happens to be one of the worst defensive players in the league not in his rookie or soph year.

Evidently just turned official.

NO got a rediculous steal. Jackson was good when he was on the kings...not so much after that.
The move was evidently so the Rockets could get under the luxury tax

Re: Bonzi and M. James to NO for B. Jackson?
In order to make the trade work under salary cap rules, New Orleans had to sign George Mikan to a $5million contract. He has to report to Houston.
