In the ongoing quest to make T-Mac a happy person, the Rockets managed to scoop up enigmatic free-agent forward Bonzi Wells, signing him to a 2-year deal worth some amount of money that we don’t feel like looking up.
What we do know for sure is that the deal is much less than the 5-year, $36M deal Wells turned down from the Kings earlier in the year.
Whatever – as if the West wasn’t tough enough as it was, right? Wells’s new agent expands on the topics of Bonzi Wells, money, and teams named after rocketships.
“This isn’t about the money, this is about being in the right place. Bonzi doesn’t care about starting,” Scott said. “He just wants to be some place he can contribute.”
By our count, there are 32 lies and two periods in that quote, the former of which is impressive because there are actually only 28 words that were said by the man.
If you’re wondering why the focus is on such meaningless information, it’s because we’re busy shredding all those glossy, overpriced yearbook/preview magazines we bought.
It’s not that they’re useless – the East predictions and analysis remain prefectly valid. It’s not even that none of them have Bonzi on the Rockets. The problem is none of them say anything about T-Mac’s back going out before the end of November.
And no, we don’t want that to happen – we’re just trying to remain ready for the inevitable. You know, like the Cavaliers in the Finals – stuff like that.
UPDATE: Thanks to SacTown Royalty for the reminder that Ron Artest is going to kill Bonzi Wells now. We don’t mean to sound chipper about that – it’s just something to watch for this season.

So everyone make sure you circle January 27th, 2007 on your calendar….
That’s the rub out date courtesy of Ron Ron.Might be good for Bonzi to stay on the bench that night; or conveniently develop the flue.

(Not that I know who “DK” is when I allways use my my full professional name………………..)
But whatever.
I… loved Bonzai with the Kings.Loved him against the Spurs. Wanted him to stay with the Kings.Had a new verse of my song with bonzi & ronron:
“Give Bonzai his Benjamin$ so we can watch him throw it down”….
Did that version of the song in late May at the Valley Brew in Stockton, CA.
(Check the Stockton Record search engine).
So not to say he needs the dinero.$Obvious,so one would think.& so it goes.
all the better if he doesn’t.Then he can be his own man…..
& YOU…….D.K…..
I’m sure you’ll tell us if he’s not……..
especially if you’re the self- appointed censure that knows Bonzi Wells or whatever.
Peace be with you.
& now a note from Rhondda Nunes the real deal:
WOW!…That’ll teach me to leave the browser open here. Neither of the above quotes are by me; especially not quote # 1:That’s actually a “Jordan RULES 2 “quote from page 185 of the “Gotta Love Your Sacramento Kings” thread.
