most likely tmac wont be ready to play until after the deadline. plus, amare is the answer to inside scoring since yao has become injury prone. he may not be worth a max extension next season, so if we decide to part ways we still have amare.

Won't Amare go to NY instead next season? One year rental, with no Yao I doubt he will even consider resigning with the Rockets.

We might not be getting Amare, but Morey will find a way to upgrade our team.

It feels good to be a rockets fan during offseason.

Suns and Cavs are near to the deal of sending Shaq to Cavs. Will Suns give up their another all-star and rebuild around old Nash? I doubt it.

I saw someone post this on (Sports Rumor Mill.com)

Heard on FoxSportsNews 790 in Houston that the Rockets and Suns are considering a trade. Someone make me understand this: Suns get Aaron Brooks, Carl Landry, and Tracy McGrady and the Rockets get Leandro Barbosa and Amar'e Stoudemire.

Can anyone confirm this from the area or is this what Clutch could be hinting at?

amare has a bigger impact on the game than all the players we let go. he's going to be coached by a players' coach so he'll be fine.

now we just need to trade artest for a real playmaker (PG or not) and we'll be fine. artest and amare ain't gonna work well on the same team. amare finishes plays, so he needs guys who can make plays.

How are we going to trade Artest??? He is not signed to a contract with us.

Who's that playmaker on your mind?

We could do a sign & trade but who would want him?

According to the same source that disclosed Terry Porter was about to be fired as Suns coach, the Rockets are leaning toward swapping Tracy McGrady's expiring $22M contract, Carl Landry and Aaron Brooks for Leandro Barbosa and Stoudemire, who owns an escape clause after next season and is demanding an extension this summer to waive it.

We get to try it for one year and then decide! How do you decide who deserves the max-- simply by minutes played or effectiveness on the outcome of games?

Yao is more valuable to us playing limited but meaningful minutes throughout the season and playoffs than were we to lose him by the tail end of the season due to injury.
Click to expand...

very good point. however, i think minutes does relate to salary to an extent. if you tie up $15M in a guy who plays 24 minutes (for example), you have less to spend on guys playing bigger minutes which means the majority of the minutes are being played by lesser talented players.

Hey stop copying me JK.

Does anyone think the Warriors would want him in exchange for Stephen Jackson or Maggette? + fillers.

i'm totally against this, because i want to keep our young talent...

i really hope that DM deals only one of the two (carl or brooks), but not both...preferrably carl should be traded....

I thougtht Daryl said he wanted someone to play all season, hasn't Amare had injury problems in the past, I know the eyes this season but not sure about others, and he has publicly said he loves the NY coach (can't think of his name) and wants to play for him again. I would rather get someone who would be happy here and not want another coach. We need team players. I think Daryl is good enough to make a TMac/Dorsey/Cook and even Barry package look good without giving up any of our good players. The Suns just got 2 average players for Shaq.

Not sure, it's possible that a veteran team might want him. I do feel the best we can expect is to break even in such a scenario.

good question. i don't have any answers as to amare's thinking. only he does. i can say that if a trade were to go down there would have to be an agreement in principle on an extension. this is what the rockets did when acquiring tmac.

also, you were assuming that by parting ways with yao we let him walk with no compensation. i say, trade him for a couple of pieces to rebuild around amare. i'm pretty sure he'd stay on a contending team on which he was the #1 option, and got paid what he wanted.

Latest from espn insider.

POSTED: June 25 -- 10:49 a.m. ET

Chad Ford: Watch out for the Houston Rockets. Sources say they have been really active the past 24 hours, having contacted the Grizzlies, Thunder, Kings and Timberwolves about trying to get into the lottery.

It sound like virtually everyone on Houston's roster is available. Teams report that the Rockets are trying to parlay Tracy McGrady's expiring contract and Aaron Brooks' newfound celebrity status into a big upgrade in Houston. Carl Landry and Shane Battier were also mentioned as possible trade pieces.

The Rockets are also among several teams that will be making a run at Amare Stoudemire. With Shaq gone, expect the Stoudemire rumors to start heating up again.

He'd probably be another one year rental like Artest since he is expected to opt out of his current deal and join the Knicks, Mike D'Antoni is the coaches name you're thinking of.

but, i would follow it up by seeing what offers we would get for yao.
Click to expand...

if this report regarding yao is true, and not just a purposeful leak by the rockets to assuage public concern over amare, i'm not sure yao would even have much value left in a trade.

BTW: what was up with that rich bucher bit about trying to trade t-mac for jrich and then following up with "the numbers didn't work." Ya think?
