    Orlando needs a PF according to NBA talk, and I know one they can have after December 15. I can't tell you who whispered this trade to me, but here it is...

    houston trades: Maurice Taylor $2,250,000 to orlando
    houston trades: Carlos Rogers $2,200,000 to orlando
    TOTAL: $4,450,000
    orlando trades: Mike Miller $2,320,080 to houston
    orlando trades: Pat Garrity $1,019,280 to houston
    orlando trades: John Amaechi $600,000 to houston
    TOTAL: $3,939,360



    TRADE ACCEPTED

    Due to houston and orlando being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. houston and orlando had to be within 15% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

    Is it the same person that whispered the Jamison trade?

    Rock: Yes. It's a joke. [​IMG]

    And a horrible trade at that. If we're going to make fantasy trades, at least make them in our favor! [​IMG]

    Orlando would be silly to do that, in my opinion. If I were the Rockets, I would definitely pull the trigger on that one ASAP.

    Please!! That would be a great trade for us! We would get the small forward we need for the future in Miller. Garrity is a forward that you cannot leave open, so he will stretch defenses. Amaechi is a solid back up center.

    All this, and we would have MORE money for Webber. This trade, in my opinion, is good for both teams, and I bet Taylor would agree to it. Remember, Taylor wanted to be in Orlando anyway before this year started.

    I will put my credibility on the line with this one...

    Wait why are we jumping all over this guy? Although I don't like the trade I don't think we have a right to dog him unless hes done this before and I don't know about it.

    Scarface and others,

    Bob is not a source. It's a gag. He's already done it once with a fake Antawn Jamison trade. If you don't know the story behind Bob, just trust us, it's a gag.

    Just for that Cat, you are being placed on double secret probation, and will not be informed of the Jason Collier blockbuster that is coming after January 15th.

    You will have to read about it in the paper.

    Sorry. [​IMG]

    What cracks me up is the guys that actually think Bob is fo' real. LOL It was a gag guys, go back and look at every post Rainey has ever made. I hope you find the answers....the truth is out there... [​IMG]

    ------------------
    Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!

    How about Maurice Taylor and Shandon Anderson to Orlando for Bo Outlaw and the Clipper's first round pick in 2001? (which the Magic got in exchange for Keyon Dooling)

    Doc Rivers likes guys that rebound. He wouldn't trade the waterboy for Mo.
