    I agree with the first post, but that second post of his was strange...........maybe nothing, maybe something.

    I think you're right on with your assessment Rocketball....

    But perhaps the mentioning of Arenas and Crittenton at the beginning could mean a three team trade? Or am I stretching it a bit?

    "Problems in the post" probably means Dalembert or Brand.

    Hopefully "the Answer" is the other AI.....AI9. Iverson only signed with Philly for one year. Not sure what his inclusion in any deal would do for either side.

    Clutch mentioned Von Wafer when he could have used any current Rocket. I think he's saying we are going to sign him eventually.

    And hopefully the "Aaron Brooks is a problem" portion of his post means Aaron is staying and will not be traded.

    We all knew Tracy would be gone soon....this is just confirmation the trade is including McGrady....

    Really? Maybe it's just wishfull thinking but Clutch says "I was just thinking of how Arenas and Crittenton play for the Wizards." Why didn't he just say "The Wizards" why did he specifically call out two players that have been rumored in trade deals the last week?

    Who even randomly thinks about Javaris Crittenton in the first place???

    I thought it was pretty obvious, but 11 pages later no one had spoke up, so I thought I was losing my mind...

    Maybe I still am....

    Lol hey I think alot of us feel this way, we try to look at everything with hidden messages when Clutch, or Doc Rocket, or someone like that posts. Im with you, I think/hope there is some type of hidden message in this post!

    Good point. Maybe it was just me then and this was no more than a random thought from Clutch. It turned out to be a pretty hot thread nonetheless.
