I think the Rockets will knock us from the 8 seed with that deal.

    Hate to say it but hat team is gonna score lots of points. I dont see them not making the playoffs unless martin gets hurt. With roy being iffy and the rockets making this deal, i think we are on the outside looking in by next week.

    Losing Landry hurts them this season. Next season when Yao comes back they will be in good shape.

    Marc Stein just reported that three-way deal with Knicks is done -- TMac to Knicks, Hughes to Sac, Jeffries to Hou with 2012 first and right to swap in 2011. Landry, Dorsey to Sac, Martin to Hou, no word on Sergio. Looks like Hill stays in NY.

    Like a glove. Great deal for Houston. If Yao is healthy they'll be really dangerous next year.

    I don't agree Mixum. I think moving Landry for Martin was a total bonehead move. Landry > Martin IMO.

    Y'know, I'm shocked--SHOCKED--that Mixum would come to this conclusion.

    Yea, I liked the deal until I saw that. The Rockets just got a lot deeper and tougher.

    Our hopes all depend on Roy's hammy. I don't like those odds.

    Houston long term did pretty good. Short term I don't think they are better either. We will see how long it takes them to get on the same page.

    The Rockets took a hit this year, but will be really good next year. I think with Paul's knee injury and this trade, we're in an excellent position to make the playoffs this year, even if Roy sits.

    Next year, however, Houston is going to be VERY good.

    While I don't think your a troll and I do believe that you are an actual Blazer fan, you always seem to find the negative in anything. We sign Marcus Camby.........great but........Its too late, yada yada yada. Why didn't we sign him earlier etc. Those are the things you say on here. You seem to "Thrive" off the negative Blazer news rather then focus on anything that does happen with the team that is positive.

    How about this. Decimated by injuries this team is still playing hard, competitive basketball most every night and are still in the playoff hunt. Is that not good enough for you? What do you expect from them this year. Even if we make the playoffs which I think we will we will most likely be one and done but I thin making the playoffs after all the sh*t that has happened this year would be an amazing accomplishment.

    Again, while I don't view you as a troll your constant negative dribble grows old and I wish that you could enjoy "your team" a bit more. It must be torture for you to wake up everyday, log onto a computer and waste hours of your time trying to convince everyone why Kpee sucks, the Blazers suck, Nate sucks, etc.

    There is only so much playing time for wing players on the floor at once. They have Battier and Ariza already. I just don't see him making much of a difference because there is only so much playing time for wing players on the floor, and while on the bench waiting to play, somebody is not in the game making a difference. It's kind of like here in Portland. Depth does you no good if it never plays a minute on the floor.

    So let's see......

    Houston trades T-Mac, Landry and Dorsey

    for

    Kevin Martin, Hilton Armstrong, Jered Jefferies, Jordan Hill, a #1 from a scrub team, and the right to swap #1's from that same scrub team.


    Sounds to me like we might have been able to make a similar deal with Raef, Blake and Outlaw. Instead, we sat on our ass.

    Kevin Martin, Jordan Hill, a #1 and the right to swap #1's with NY >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Andre Miller, Marcus Camby

    We are slightly different Mixum. You are negative, I am a realist. I just say it very bluntly.
