    Boki and Griffin are worth near zero.

    So it's basically Cat for Battie and Williams.

    Seems like too little to me. Maybe we have another trade coming? Maybe that deal for Penny?

    I like Battie and Williams. Good blue collar players that do what's asked of them.

    Short term, this trade would probly help this team esp chemistry wise.

    Long term I think the trade sucks if that is all we get. If we're getting a good 1st rounder and/or moving mooch I might be inclined to change my mind a lil.

    I've got a better idea. Why doesn't Carrol Dawson just bend over and take it in the ass instead?

    They just announced something more "official" on the Zone. They said it's been confirmed that the teams are in trade talks, and it is in fact Willams/Battie for Mobley/Griffin/Nachbar.

    So whos BIG OVERPAID CONTACT are we trying to dump.

    Mobley is super cheap
    Griffin & Nachbar are on rookie contacts.

    This deal would suck so bad!!!

    How come Dallas can trade their reserves for top players and we can only trade our players for someone elses reserves?

    Man, this is a horrible deal for the Rockets. Boki is beginning to show promise of being a solid rotational player this year, Mobley is still the third best player on the team, and Griffin has zero trade value. But still, your telling me all we can get is Eric Williams and Tony Battie?!? Is this goes down, we are in serious trouble...

    Well, we're essentially trading talent (Cat) for an expiring contract (Williams) if this trade comes to fruition.
