I'm really worried Ron is leaving H-Town

Hey guys... Imma make my first post short and sweet( or shall I say bitter due to the nature of the post)

It looks like Ron Ron is not going to re-up with the Rockets... Just saw this on his twitter page:

"THANKS ALOT HOUSTON.:) I HAD ALOT OF FUN:)"

I responded back to him asking if that meant he was not going to sign with us. Waiting on his answer... Im really going to be sad if we can't lock up Artest.

Well, there's good reason to be worried about that,

Richard Hamilton to the Rockets?

My brother called me and said they were talking about this on Detroit radio since the Pistons just signed Ben Gordon. Wonder what we would have to give up?

Hmmm

Yes, we’ll miss Ron Artest’s fearless attitude, but he’s honestly got some holes in his game (inconsistent jumper, Stevie Franchise syndrome on occasion, and sometimes inconsistent defense).

With that said about Rip, could we do a Rip/Prince deal sending T-Mac up to Detroit?

Now that's something I could get behind.

Doesn’t really make any sense to me though – unless T-Mac is healthy. By aquiring these free agents Detriot is saying, “I want to win now.” and the only reason they would want T-Mac would for his large salary.

Richard Hamilton is 31 years old

I’m not saying he’s a bad answer. Just saying that if Yao isn’t playing that he’s not the answer.

Yeah but he's not a guy who relies on explosive athleticism

Rip is more of a Reggie-Miller type who tries to fight through screens and shoot jumpers. With Yao he’d be a cutting machine. WIthout Yao, we do have Scola in the post, and Luis can get the ball to shooters too.
