Sam Amick has more good notes in addition to the Martin/MJ vignette. Among them: Petrie plans to stick to 13 players on the roster (which would mean no Kyrylo Fesenko) and Tyreke Evans will get to Sacramento Sunday.

Still don't understand
how the Rockets will have a better record than the Kings next year. Are T-Mac and Yao playing now? Did I miss something?
I think the Rockets > Kings
Scola is darn good, Ariza is good, I like Aaron Brooks … and McGrady should be back by New Year’s.
Rockets play with a ton of grit too
And they happen to have one of the best coaches in the league. Who knows how to deal with injuries to his stars.

True points
but other than that… there’s not much there. Scola should average more than the 12 and 8 he did last year, but then again I’d expect Hawes and Thompson to beat those #s this season as well. I’m a huge Brooks fan as well, but then again we have Martin back, too. Ariza is good (and so is Battier)… but are they significantly better than our SF by committee (enough to make up the difference with Martin)? I’m not convinced, especially with Ariza not playing a role for a championship contender. I guess it depends on how effective you think T-Mac will be when he’s back. Color me pessimistic (and I like the Rockets and root for them when they’re not playing the Kings).
Ariza
“especially with Ariza not playing a role for a championship contender”
You lost me there. Ariza was the starting small forward and designated stopper for the champs.
Worded poorly, so you must have missed my point
He’s not playing a role for a championship contender anymore. Thus, now as a role player on a team without Kobe, Gasol, etc, I don’t think he’ll look as good.
Ya he'll probably be better
since he’ll have to take on a more prominent role.

OK
Makes much more sense. Though I think that while Pau and Kobe are good passers and pressure relievers, the effect might be overstated. Good players find a way to get it done.
Thats true
Good players find a way to get it done.
and the league will find out this year just how good he is without those other weapons to run interference, whether he is just a very good role player – or has the chance to be a star.
So imitate the action of the tiger!.

No Kyrylo Fesenko?
Darth Ziller: If you only knew the power of the current roster… Petrie-Wan never told you what happened to your backup center.
Aykis16: He told me enough. He told me YOU killed him.
Darth Ziller: No… I am your backup center.
Aykis16: … No… No… That’s not true! THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE!!!
Darth Ziller: Search your feelings, you KNOW it to be true!
Aykis16: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Noooooooooooooo!!! whimper

Hmm, Darth Ziller
I guess that would mean Section 214 is really:

Etc...
Houston will challenge the Kings for futility until T-Mac gets back and then they should do better. They have NO size after Yao (maybe the Chuck-Wagon or Landry will start) and since he’s out they are hurting. It would be like us without Hawes… imagine that!?!
The hoopsworld preview of the Kings was fairly accurate and balanced. The only ridiculous statement concerned K9 but we’re all used to KT being associated with ridiculousness.

It might be too early
to be thinking like this but I’m ok with having one of the lowest payroll as long as there is an actual plan to make the team better. I know there is very little chance at landing star in the summer of 2010 but we better darn well try atleast. Sometimes I get the feeling that the team is just being plain cheap.

Damnit TZ
You almost had me fooled into thinking there was a unscheduled preseason game tonight against the clippers with that title.
