Yeha but he averages like 40-50 games the last 3 years, and it was something about shoring up the bench.

Byron Scott said its 50-50 if the Hornets do a trade.

It's a no-brainer for N.O.'s. No -brainer. They WILL NOT WIN a series with their current team. No way in Hell. They need need need depth.

Houston really wants Bobby Jackson that badly??

Re: ***Official countdown to the trade deadline thread***

Probably being cheap ec.

It makes no sense to me whatsoever. I know Rafer is bad, but enough for Bonzi to be traded for another injury on a timer.

Re: ***Official countdown to the trade deadline thread***

I don't know man, Bobby's under contract for two more years.. 5 and 6 mill. basically the same as James.

If it's true, it would seem Rocket's brass actually thinks Bobby would be an upgrade. To me it doesn't make much sense as Bonzi seems to me like a guy I'd like to have off the bench. I haven't watched the Rox too much so I don't know and I haven't seen Bobby play that much either.

Re: ***Official countdown to the trade deadline thread***

Bobby is under contract for one more year, and Mike James at 2 years for 6 mil each.

Re: ***Official countdown to the trade deadline thread***

after watching them play tonight, i dont know why the Hornets would trade anyone. If it aint broke...

and Bobby Jackson hit some big shots

I have watched Bobby have to gaurd Kobe Bryant in clutch time and the year before that it was Speedy Claxton I am not saying Wells is a gonna fix that I just wanted to point out how bad we need a legit 2 Guard. Mo Pete is a decent defender a good shooter but I didnt think we could win in the post season with him and Peja as our perimeter players but no matter what in CP3 we trust

Bobby is a better defender than anybody that the Rockets currently have...

... but they already have 1567894294 point guards on the roster.


Not only that, who's the 3rd most reliable scorer now? Rafer

I thought they were using most them to make a trade with Sac Town... they currently just got an opening for a PG

Re: ***Official countdown to the trade deadline thread***

Nobody wants their broken down guards. Besides Brooks who Sac wanted in the draft, thats all I know of.

They must trade Brooks now...there is no reason to keep him. I don't know what the new GM gets...this is a WIN NOW team not a rebuild team.

Yao is 27- don't waste his prime years and the guy is probably too loyal to ever go (see Garnett)
TMac is 28- Yet you wouldn't fool any one if you told them he was 35.

Win now team, hopefully Morey is talking with the Kings to acquire Artest. That would give them really good team IMO...on the level of Spurs, Lakers, Suns, Mavs...don't know but I know teams would have a hard time scoring 80 points against that team.

Re: ***Official countdown to the trade deadline thread***

A league source told The Post the Knicks and Orlando discussed trades in recent days involving their two backup point guards, Carlos Arroyo and Keyon Dooling, but were in a stalemate. Arroyo is a prototype European passing point guard, a 28-year-old from Puerto Rico who has been in and out of the Magic's rotation. New York Post

Re: ***Official countdown to the trade deadline thread***

i don't see what the big deal is about that, knicks really need some point help and badly

Re: ***Official countdown to the trade deadline thread***

He is pointing out that they called him a Euro PG from Puerto Rico

But they are talking about his playing style... which is offensive heavy and somewhat shoot first

[ryanm1058123]

Re: ***Official countdown to the trade deadline thread***

oh hah, didn't even notice that.

btw, i think arroyo blows and wouldn't help us at all, but like i said we need some point help. all we got right now is nate and fred jones can't really play the point and jamal is better at a SG-creator type and getting his own offense.
