Like I said, glad he's gone. I will be interested to see what he can or can't do in NY though.

If one man can do it, it's him. Those draft picks are valuable assets.

What are the full details of this deal now? We took on Jefferies and got what picks from NY?

Martin, Hill, Jeffries, Armstrong plus the picks.


It's funny how some people are bitching about the trade because they were in love with Landry, when it's as clear as day that we made off like bandits. It reminds me of how people were pissed when Francis and Cuttino were traded after we had obviously reached our peak with them.

I think he's going to ball in NY. When was the last time they had anyone his calibur? The Knicks are going to be a fun team to watch.

So basically we get an elite scorer and three first round picks (well two, but one could be much better than the existing pick we'd swap) for an expiring contract and Landry.

No way we could've done better in the offseason.

Oh, and we still have enough money to resign Scola and Lowry.

Today, as I officially say good-bye to the Houston Rockets, one of my greatest regrets is that I was unable to bring Rocket fans a championship during my time here in Houston. This great city has been my home for over six years. Three of my kids were born here and this is where CleRenda and I will continue to raise our children. It is where we call home. Over the years, I have received so much support from the communities throughout the city, on a personal level and for my Foundation and Darfur School Programs. I have nothing but sincere gratitude for the city of Houston and the generous people who live in it.

I have tremendous respect for Leslie Alexander and have enjoyed playing for the Rockets over the last six years. It has definitely been the most profound part of my career. I’ve learned a lot about myself from various situations, both good and bad that have occurred here. It was my hope when I came to Houston that I wouldn’t leave, but I do understand this is the business side of basketball.

I wish the current Rockets team nothing but success this season. They are a great group of guys, tremendous teammates, and very talented on the court. One of the highlights of my career has been playing alongside Yao, a truly exceptional player and human being. I have great respect for him as an athlete and as a friend, and will remember fondly our time playing together.

As for me, I can’t wait to get back on the court to continue doing what I love to do. I am excited to be headed to New York and look forward to wearing a Knick uniform. I know that I can and will contribute to this organization. It’s a dream to play in New York and there is nothing that compares to playing in the Garden. Knick fans are some of the most knowledgeable and passionate fans in the league, and it will be an honor to play in front of them and to play for the great city of New York.

To all my fans who have backed me throughout all these years, I can promise you one thing, that my desire to play and to win has never been as strong as it is today. No amount of road blocks, injuries and critics could stop my need to play ball. It is who I am and what I do.
I am on to the next chapter of my career and I thank you again for taking the ride with me.


i would keep my home in houston if i was him, too. dude's got a sick indoor basketball court

Thats what really makes this big as well. We have around 15mm which will be plenty to resign the two + 1st round pick + MLE without going too far over the cap for lux tax.

Morey!

I love Carl but Hill could become every bit as good if not better and we fill a huge hole at the 2. Oh and get free picks... Once again, Morey

Yeah, Hollinger gave the trade an A- (minus???) and Simmons verbally blew Morey on the radio.

I need to look at some of the second/third tier FAs who will be available for the Rockets to sign with the MLE.

You get their 2011 1st round which I think is unprotected, and their 2012 1st round top 5 protected.

He's always talking about Morey. I think he looks up to him, wants to be his friend IRL.

Houston also will have the right to swap first-round picks with New York in 2011 as well as take on New York's 2012 first-round pick.
