yah, stromile was part of it. It's not a bad trade for the millionth time. The Rockets are about winning NOW. Shane battier is an elite defender and a solid all around, blue-collar, bust your *** kind of basketball player. Rudy Gay is the exact opposite. Rudy Gay is this year's Stromile Swift/Darius Miles. If Rockets get Mike James, it was all worth it. (Next year's draft is thicker newayz...*crossing fingers on Rockets getting Kevin Durant*)

Are you kidding me? it really is between the superb bargains that the Rockets have ever made. Battier is a 6'8 swing guy. He can shoot it like a 2 shelter, and, rebound like a ahead. as a count of actuality he averaged a touch over 10points, and, 5 rebounds very last 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. (He did not time-honored 15pts per pastime very last 3 hundred and sixty 5 days) He shoots a tad lower than 40% from the three pt arch, and, he's a above time-honored defender. as sturdy a Mikie James performed very last 3 hundred and sixty 5 days for the Toronto, I remember a pastime the position Battier held him to 18 factors and submit 33 antagonistic to him and his crew, grabbing 7 forums interior an similar pastime. Battier possesses all the basics, and, is an finished NBA high quality participant, not like the unproven gay. Shane is amazingly versatile and is a very good complimentary participant who can help the Rockets in a lot of techniques. what number techniques did Stro help the Rockets, quite even as they needed a shot interior the arm? The Rockets are reloaded and in the experience that they can stay healthful, will contend for yet another identify this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. adult males like Shane, Kirk Snyder, rookie p.c.. Steve Novak, and, Chuck Hayes are adult males to show screen this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days--as well to the Dynamic Duo, McGrady and Yao.

What a horrible trade for Houston
what a steal for memphis
Jerry West is one of the best GMs ever
why would you trade a potential #1 pick, and high energy young player for some 28 year old defender who has a big contract?
Doesn't make sense, one of the biggest steals for memphis ever.
