Well, for starters, I am back. I was out of town for some time and followed that up with a brisk glut of over-working myself.

The Rockets made a trade!! With absolutely no fantasy impact. No one in the league was expecting the Rockets to utilize their expiring trade exception, but Jerry West helped the Rockets bewilder the league. Last night, they traded Scott Padgett for Jake Tsakalidis.


Pairing Tsakalidis with Spanoulis gives the Rockets both Greek players; Jeff Van Gundy comments

“It will give someone for Billy to (complain) to, so that will be good,” coach Jeff Van Gundy said. “We’ll just sit him right over there and Billy can (complain) to him about how he’s getting (shafted). That will be good.”

Wow, as tactful as the Sex Pistols trailing the Queen on the Thames river. Already relegating Jake to the bench despite ripping off the Grizzlies. How could Jerry West pull the trigger on this deal? He gave up a whole .5ppg and .9rpg. Where does West expect to get that kind of production in garbage time of the Grizzlies blowout victories? Janeane Garofalo would be proud of that sarcasm, by the way, I always thought she was hot. So Janeane, if you happen to trawl fantasy basketball blogs and you see this, leave a comment. My inexplicable celebrity crushes aside, my favorite Houston eatery could not be more happy. Congrats Niko Niko’s on getting even more advertising ammo. The line may be more difficult to stand through than Tsakalidis is to spell, but waiting through it is worth the slice of heaven.

    Wasn’t Jake a viable fantasy backup at some point in his career?

    Oh… I guess that was about 6 years ago. Oops.

    I always thought Janeane Garofalo was hot too, in a it’s-the-nineties-and-grunge-is-in-so-don’t-show-any-skin-whatsoever kind of way. Of course, I’m over that phase now.
