I can tell you I’m feeling Euphoria right now. As a Kings fan I can tell you I’m relieved Ron will never be suiting up again in a Kings uni (hopefully). I can tell you that.

I speculate though, that this deal is what Petrie had on the table, and wasn’t willing to wait it out to get a better deal for the team. Sometimes timing is everything.

If the deal is in fact B-Jax, DontE Greene, and a 2009 1st round pick from Houston, then I’m good with that because it gives the Kings something. Cheap players no less that the team can use down the road. It’s far better than Shane Battier. Of course as it stands now the deal has only been done in principle, but that having been said, it’s a done deal anyway. The only hold up is Greene can’t be traded for 30 days after he signs his rookie contract, and that was on July 14th. So, again, I’m euphoric Ron is gone from a KIngs perspective.

From Houston’s perspective they’re happy because they didn’t give up anything. Yeah, that woudl be my reaction too. Ron has played well in Houston over the years, and I suspect that’s part of the reaction. His talent is a valuable 2 way player, but he does have holes in his game that I suspect people will find a way to harp on. He’s an average rebounder for instance. He might make a comment or two about needing the ball when things get bad for him. He might even ending up totally being so nice that everyone can’t deal with it and they end up treating him like shit until he eventually obliges. Like you, Cornrows, I’m interested to see what happens with Ron-Ron in Indy. Because if nothing else, and I say nothing else, that grouping allows the Rockets to play with pretty much everybody. If Ron’s got his head on straight, and who knows about that, the Rockets will be hard to beat if he allows himself to be part of Adelman and the team’s overall concept.
