Its official, the Hornets lost their trade with the Rockets - MixMakers.net

Wasnt Bonzi suppose to be a Spurs/Playoff killer, instead he was ranked as the worst SF in the playoffs, right next to Bruce Bowen, unlike Bowen however he didnt provide ANY sort of intangible play in fact you could argue he made his teammates worse. He couldnt hit an open jumper all-series, couldnt spread the floor, he couldnt defend, and he couldnt create for others, couldnt even dominate the boards the way he used to. To make matters worse they had to take on Mike James.

Playoff average 4PPG with a TS% of .375, 2.8Reb, .7Ast

Bobby Jackson sucked just as bad, but he was never intended to be a starter and was miscast as an orchestrator of the offense once Rafer went down, besides he has a pretty big expiring contract this year.

I think the hornets were just looking for an added extra to their list when they traded for jackson, but yes I think it has backfired on them as bonzi didnt really know what the hell he was doing this series, he was getting burnt on both the offense and defensive ends.

chronz props on the sig pic brah

What sort of depth did Bonzi provide? And was he really worth the baggage that came with it? (Have you seen Mike Jame's contract?)

How can you lose when you trade away a guy that shot 28% from field in playoffs

Bobby was horrible.

Bonzi never really got going and his minutes decreased with each game

SteveNash3424213421J · 05-20-2008, 03:50 AM

Wrong.

Rockets lose.

You forget a very key part of the trade, it was a 3 team trade.

Memphis got the rights to Malick Badiane (future 20/10 player) plus cash from the Rockets.

Nah, he's different from Darko.

More like Dalembert with a better offensive game.

Chronz · 05-20-2008, 04:08 AM

Oh yea I forget Darko cant rebound .

SteveNash3424213421J · 05-20-2008, 04:10 AM

What? Darko can rebound.

He's a better rebounder than Dalembert, that's for sure
