Hornets trade David Wesley to Houston for.....

Tue Dec 28, 2004 6:42 am

Jim Jackson and Bostjan Snackbar

Why did the Rockets let go of Jackson anyway? Hes a good solid player and a outside shooter, but I dont care really.

great for new orleans

Tue Dec 28, 2004 6:46 am

That trade sucks, especially for rockets..i don't understand why is wesley better than jackson?? :? ..hornets stole that one, definately :wink:

Tue Dec 28, 2004 6:58 am

noooo!! i love JJ and Nachbar :cry: WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT??

Tue Dec 28, 2004 7:52 am

How could Houston do that???? Jackson is a very solid role player, but Wesley could fit in well....
I don't know, maybe JJ's salary was factor.... :? ?

Tue Dec 28, 2004 7:58 am

wow... this is certainly interesting... my dad's boss is wesley's cousin. lol.
i dunno, the rox did give a lot, as much as i hate to admit it, i agree NO stole this one, they got a strong vet and good young player for only one alright vet........

Tue Dec 28, 2004 8:03 am

aww NO!!! not JJ, Houston has made very strange moves lately :cry:

Tue Dec 28, 2004 8:55 am

What a bad trade for Houston. I'd take Jim Jackson over David Wesley any day.

IM MAD!!!! :x , wow concidentially , i wasted 150$ on a NO Wesley jersey , authentic , he was one of my favorite players in the NO , THIS SUCKS!!!! I got it yesterday and i didnt even wear it yet . Wow stupid Rockets , always ruining my dreams . Last time it was the Francis jersey , then 2 weeks later he got traded . i think i should stop buying jerseys or everyone will get traded ..

buy an eric snow jersey :)

as for this trade.. i don't think this is bad for houston at all. aside from yao and mcgrady, no one on the team has stepped up scoring wise.. david wesley will sure as hell provide them with a lot of scoring and defense.. wesley is strong as hell and a pretty underrated defender.. trust me its not a bad pickup at all

Fucken Idiots i say :x
As a rockets fan i am very mad.THEY let Jim Jackson away! Fuckers!

Tue Dec 28, 2004 11:30 am

Though he's been playing shooting guard for the Hornets the past few years, Wesley began his NBA career as a point guard so I guess he'll be replacing Bobby Sura alongside McGrady in the backcourt. I too think the Rockets made a mistake - JJ's been consistent for them the past year and a half, and I don't think acquiring Wesley will greatly improve their fortunes.

I'm sure I'll be proven wrong, but I'll go ahead and call it a trade for the sake of making a trade.

Tue Dec 28, 2004 12:11 pm

This is brilliant! I signed JJ to my fantasy Yahoo team, this means he'll get loads of minutes and more room to contribute.

As far as basketballing purposes go, what a retarded trade to make :?

just call it your new throwback jersey :lol:

i saw this trade as soon as it was posted on the rockets board, but didnt feel like posting it, since it wasnt really THAT big of a trade. i think the rockets shouldve kept jj cuz he was one of their most consistent players.

Tue Dec 28, 2004 1:17 pm

now the Hornets should just trade Baron Davis for Jason Kidd, so that we can have a reunion of the Triple J combo from the mid 90s in Dallas (Y)(Y)(Y)

Do you reckon you could buy yourself a Devean George jersey please?

Tue Dec 28, 2004 2:55 pm

ahahahhahhahh this is jimmy jackson's 11th team!!!!! ahahhahaha

Tue Dec 28, 2004 3:02 pm

You must of been pretty busy buyin Rasheed Wallace Jerseys last season... traded 2wice in a few weeks.

Tue Dec 28, 2004 8:34 pm

well as a JR Smith fan this is great, he'll finally get some minutes....he got a stat in each category in todays game. :D

But yeh, Hornets got the better of the deal..because even Nachbar is a pretty good role player in the making.

Tue Dec 28, 2004 10:58 pm

jim jackson is a slut

Tue Dec 28, 2004 11:02 pm

Nice deal for New Orleans. The Rockets have their second deal in a week. Will there be more? Who knows? I do. Juwan Howard or Clarence Weatherspoon will be gone by February.

Jae: don't bust your nut so soon. jj may be the #1 option in N.O. but he won't be getting those open jumpers anymore. no one gets double teamed on that team. btw- he was suspended today for not reporting:

a wesley-sura-tmac lineup seems a bit more condusive for an uptempo game

lol K0be4mvp, you don't care but you started the thread

Thu Dec 30, 2004 7:52 pm

The article wrote:Bristow said he knows from his playing days that being traded can be traumatic and that he hopes Jackson is simply ``in shock'' and will soon come to his senses.


I'm sure it's the 2-26 record. I think Jim Jackson is used to being traded by now.

That's alright, if JJ doesn't play well I've still got Q-Rich and Johnson to fill in. :cry:
