- I think that Ariza is a bad trade. 33 million for a guy who averaged 8 points and 4 rebounds last year when you are playing along a playmaker like Kobe Bryant. I take Ron Artest over Ariza any day....
- Hopefully our Tim Duncan emerges in college this coming NCAA season. You're right about our overachieving bunch. Hopefully we'll defy the odds if we just slide into the lottery and somehow...
- And who would be our Tim Duncan? BTW, the Rockets won't be lottery-bounded - that's the curse of an always over-achieving, fighting bunch like them, and that's why we love them anyway....
- It's great to land Ariza, but I think the "next" most important thing is to find a replacement/back-up for Yao.

I'm elated the Rockets have Scola, but I do think Vassilis had some potential that wasn't tapped appropriately. He played poorly when he had the chance, but I think JVG could have given him a little more leeway to play longer minutes earlier in his Rockets career to get him some confidence. I believe JVG was too strict in always having the best players on the floor playing, but I think you have to bring younger players along in order to succeed over a long season without damaging the team too much in the short term. Rick Adelman played Aaron Brooks more minutes than JVG did Spanoulis, and it seems to have made a difference in Aaron's game.
