Rockets Rumors - All Rockets Trade Rumor Post - and suggestions for trades

i dont want anything to do with jalen rose he can stay as far north as possible. marshall is intriguing but using the te so quickly may not be a good idea considering how the FA market may turn out this year, its probably better to save that. i think the MoT for DA trade is the most realistic scenario happening

 

YUCK @ getting rose AND giving up our 1st round pick

 

Hasn't DA been sidelined with chronic debilitating headaches? If so, I don't see how he'd have the actual playing value of MoT.

The main reason posters want to get rid of Mo is his ridiculous salary, and more out of resentment than practicality. But trading him won't solve any $ issues. Maybe some of you who bothered to study the trade rules can better explain what I gleaned from my skimming of that thread; the rules stipulate a very close salary equivalence between the players being traded.

We have to remember that either Mo or whomever we might get will only play about 10 minutes behind Howard, who's playing his role wonderfully. I think Mo's a cool dude, and he can put up a few good hook shots in the short time available. Yes, his D's not so great, but do any of you actually think we can revolutionize the backup PF position with any of the realistiic possibilies out there?

In short, it won't be the end of the world if we just hold on to Mo.

 

If we give up a pick to get Rose... We might just as well send Yao to NY for Allan Houston.

 

P.S. - It's true that neither Howard nor Mo can provide the banging protection we all want for Yao.

 

"Banging protection"? Try Trojan Man!

 

I knew that didn't come out right... but you know what I mean. If we can't get a big PF "enforcer," what's the point? We don't need any more middle-distance shooters.

 

OK, how about a crazy idea to get rid of MoT.

MoT + TE to New Orleans for Mashburn & Lynch.

I know, I know, Mashburn is so hurt he may never be healthy enough to play but he does have one less year on his contract than Mo. Mo's not playing anyway, so we wouldn't lose anything but gain one less year of having to pay him. They get someone that ACTUALLY PLAYS and who could be a pretty good player for them. The TE gives them more cost cutting and gives us depth at 2/3. Lynch only has one more year left as well and would be a good defensive player for the team and a backup for TMac.

Like I said, a crazy idea, but we may need a crazy idea to even trade Mo right now.

 

AI Baron Davis someone please play that 610 ridiclous sound bite. You act like our pick is worth soo much.

 

hey, I thought we traded Francis and Mobley

 

KT doesn't have the athleticism and size to deal with the 4's of the Western Conference.
Boozer puts up decent numbers,but again,if we were to shell out those bucks ,I want more athleticism.
Donyell would be a sweet fit,with his rebounding defense,and 3 point shooting.
Eric Williams is cheaper and would be the perfect role player.
The ideal guy though in my mind,is Dale Davis.He gives us what we need at the 4,we unload MoTay,and get the 10 million dollar expiring contract.Give up the number 1 in this deal...get it done...then we can get another MAJOR piece.

 

If you choose Jalen Rose, I will personally come kick your *ss...
Sincerely,

 

When is the trade Deadline?

 

We can't use the trade exception to sign free agents.

 

thursday.

 

Mo + Gaines for Dale Davis and as a token of our appeciation we take Najera (who has a long but decent contract) off their hands with our TE.

Also, we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that we have Baidine oversea playing well and who's game resembles that of Dale's. I think we'll lose nothing if we sign him in the off season at the league minimum. Next season that would give us a front line of:
Yao
Deke (if resigned)
Baidine
Howard
D.Davis (if resigned)
Najera
Weatherspoon


not bad at all (if at least one comes back).

 

Josh Howard of the Dallas Mavericks was picked with the 29th pick of the 1st round. Who wouldn't want him on their roster?

Cat, Nick Van Exel, Sam Cassell, Rashard Lewis, Gilbert Arenas and on and on were either late first rounders or second rounders.

Every pick is important.

 

There's no way in Hades the T-Wolves trade they're next 1st round pick, especially if it's a lottery pick!!
