Rockets' forward Ron Artest agreed on Saturday when asked if he thought the free agent Class of 2009 has been overlooked as team jostle for position in the summer of 2010.
"I guess so, if there's any truth to that story," Artest said when asked if the class was underrated. "A lot of general managers haven't come out and said, 'Hey, we're all saving room [for 2009].' At least I haven't heard that. But we'll see how right they are if they are waiting for that 2010 class. I guess we'll all find out in 2012. We'll see who made the right decisions and who didn't. I'm not really worried about it. I'm just having fun, playing basketball."

Tracy McGrady will miss the Rockets' game against San Antonio on Saturday and tomorrow in Denver before flying to Birmingham, Ala., to meet with Dr. James Andrews on Monday, the Houston Chronicle is reporting.
"I think it’s a smart decision," McGrady said. "I’m just not ready to play. With the limping and everything, I’m not healthy enough to play anymore. It’s good that I’m going to see the doctor on Monday and get a second opinion and then we’ll make a decision on the future."

Tracy McGrady will rest his sore left knee when the Rockets take on the Pacers on Wednesday night.
"I'm out tonight," McGrady said. "The knee is a little sore so tonight I'm taking it off.
Houston's initial course of action was to let McGrady play through the soreness.
"It's not being able to go out and play at a high level tonight because my knee is a lot sorer than normal. It's being cautious," McGrady added. "It's one game I'm sitting out and looking forward to coming back and playing the next game.
"It's all about being able to go out there and contribute and help my team win ballgames. I don't think I can be effective going out there tonight the way I feel so I'm going to take the route of not playing. I believe in my team that they can go out and win."
