Rockets staying pat .

Rockets general manager Carroll Dawson is no teenager but
he was glued to his phone as the N.B.A. trade deadline came and went.

C.D. decided a major deal just wasn't in the cards for the Rockets .
But it was not because of a lack of effort .

When I spoke to Dawson this afternoon he said, "Most of the teams
out there were more interested in helping themselves instead
of helping the Rockets."

Teams inquired about Bonzi wells , Luther Head, and
Steve Novak, but it was nothing the Rockets seriously considered .

Since Tracy McGrady returned from his back problems,
he's been the Rockets own "Mc-Dreamy".

T-Mac has been tremendous and Dawson and company really
didn't want to do anything to change the team chemistry .
"I talked to a lot of people about improving our team,
but It was really hard to consider messing with our chemistry," Dawson said.

"If you look around the league , there really wasn't a lot of action
going on."
But Dawson has an ace in the hole . C.D. knows that when Yao Ming
returns from the broken bone in his leg it will be a major addition
for the Rockets . In some ways it will be like pulling off a
major trade without sacrificing anything .
Now the major concern for the Rockets is to bring their "good carma"
into the playoffs .
