huh??? wright, johnson, smith and wallace for mo, shandon, walt and 2 no bodies??? hahaha. and what a great deal for the hawks and pistons. please...did you even consider them or did you just want to fulfill rocket trade fantasies? no, seriously. i think 'everyone happy' refers to rocket fans and not the specific teams involved. ------------------ the nuggets suck...i know, i know!
I don't particularly care for trade scenarios, but Nugzfan -- has there ever been a trade rumor you have not mocked in here? Really. Your act gets old. Though yes this is lopsided in favor of the Rockets, the Detroit-Rockets portion really isn't that bad. John Wallace is a stiff averaging 5.4 points per game and shooting less than 40% -- can you explain to me again why we would want him, or are you just fulfilling a Pistons fantasy? Why again is Joe Smith+stiff so far off from Maurice Taylor+Walt Williams? Just in theory, couldn't the Pistons use an offensive power forward like Taylor, a hometown boy from Michigan, when they have a dirty deeds kind of guy in Jerome Williams? As for the Atlanta portion of the deal it is indeed lopsided but only because of DerMarr Johnson -- the Hawks are not dealing him. He, along with Jason Terry, represents the Hawks future. ------------------ NOTHING BUT .NET CLUTCHCITY.NET
i think i missed one back in august. hey, the point is im right. i dont see whats wrong with that when its obviously a bad deal. what am i saying thats out of place. its not an act. im just talkin ball. and you know how much the pistons love smith. i dont think theyd trade him for mo RIGHT NOW. maybe later but they LOVE HIM. im from michigan and they just had a joe smith night. if your name is joe or last name smith you get in for a buck besides, if i dont reply either rocket fans are going to (A) agree with me and say its a dumb deal (B) agree with gizmo (which is obviously a dumb deal or (C) this thread gets no replies... ------------------ the nuggets suck...i know, i know!
