The future of the rockets?

Question

barry and artest just signed but if a championship doesn't happen this year will mcgrady leave? his contract (i think) ends 2009. yao's ends 2010.

will the rockets ever make it out of the first round?

Answer 1

mcgrady knows the the rockets are beast team manhe will not leave he will win

Answer 2

yes they should make it out of the playoffs this year. adding Artest and Barry just makes the team more deeper, but the key to winning a championship is Yao and McGrady staying healthy. If that happen they should be the first or second best team in the westeren confrence.

Answer 3

McGrady isn't going anywhere.

Yes, if the team can stay healthy they can surpass the first round.

Answer 4

They will. Don't question it. Just believe.

Answer 5

Yes they plan on getting out the first round this year. I think the trades will work fine. If they all stay healthy and ron keeps his attitude together then they will be okay.

Answer 6

Don't worry about the future of the Rockets, The trade for Ron "The True Warrior" Artest will make the Rockets a much more dangerous team than they were. Remember, last season, they were injury-plagued but they were able to manage a 22-game winning streak that is so impressive! I have a gut feel that this year, there players will not be injured and I can actually see them making the Western Conference Finals! Anything than that would be a disappointment.

Answer 7

they will do well but i dont think they will win a ring next season

Answer 8

Hey, jeremy4958

Mcgrady wont leave it if doesn't happen. But Artest might. This is the year that Artest can become a free agent. But yeah they are gonna get out of the first round. But i think they can win a championship. But look for Artest to go somewhere else if it doesn't happen.

Answer 9

they'll definitely make it out of the first round

but wont win a championship

Answer 10

Honestly, I don't think the Rockets are going anywhere. They believe too much in T-Mac and Yao. Before they look to trade T-Mac and build a team for the future. They should look into getting a rookie that could actually take the franchise somewhere. They signed Barry, which I think wasn't a bad move, and now they want Artest. So now the Rocket has a washed up, no good Allstar, T-Mac, a tall, fragile asian, Yao and now one of the NBA bad boys, Artest. Yup the Rockets seems to doing something....... something stupid. Why are the Rockets paying T-Mac so much money and he doesn't do anything? He can't he get past the first round of the playoffs. What the Rockets should do is get rid of some of there players, get cap salary for next season where lots of Allstar players are going to be free agents. OR they could consider to make a trade and get a young player like, Brandon Roy, Keven Durant, Beasly, Greg Oden, or even a old player like Iverson, Ginobli, KG, Peirce, Rip Hamilton,there are so many options. Rockets aren't going nowhere.

Answer 11

yess... rockets just got a lot better. any stars on the opposing team is gonna have shane battier and ron artest all over them

and if only yao and t-mac were both healthy for at least one season. haha... they always switch off. yao's injured, then t-mac, then yao again. they gottta stop this

Answer 12

lets hope they get out of the first round
