Why Not the Rockets for Lebron?

I keep hearing about places lebron will go. Clippers (with that owner?), Miami (D-Wade), Knicks (with that supporting cast?). So why am I not hearing Houston on that list?

We'll have cap space (Bye Tracy!), an all star center (Hello Yao), a great supporting cast (Battier, Lowry, Landry, Scola, Brooks, Hayes, etc), a top GM (Morey) and a city of 4 million people. Plus all the chinese endorsements he would get. And no state income tax.

So why SHOULDN"T he come play for the Rockets?

Would you trade Brooks and McGrady and Landry for Amare?

I would. I think it's a better deal than anything the Suns can get from GS. I can't see any other scenario where the suns get both a promising player (or two) and tons of cap relief in 2010. Landry had a huge leap his second year, and so did brooks. Both players would fit in well with what the suns like to do, and the Rockets would become a team that everyone is even more afraid to play (and could beat the Lakers or Spurs in 7?). Thoughts?

This is the first men's golf title in Aggie History. The Aggies previous high in the tournament was 4th.

The Aggies won on the 18th hole with a chip by the team's number one player, Bronson Burgoon, from the far rough that landed within 3 inches of the hole. The defeated Arkansas 3 to 2 in match play after Andrew Landry missed a 35 foot put that would have sent the match into extra holes.

Go Aggies!
