    Am I the only person who has seen this?

    The other thing was that Chauncey Billups, for various reasons, was likely to be dealt. Dumars talked to the Nuggets about packaging Billups and Tayshaun Prince for Carmelo Anthony.

    The Nuggets declined.

    And Dumars talked to the Rockets about trading Billups and Prince for Tracy McGrady. The Rockets said no — general manager Daryl Morey wanted Billups and Rip Hamilton instead.

    If Morey had pulled the trigger, he could have added Billups and Prince to a team that took the Lakers to seven games. (McGrady missed the entire playoffs due to injury.) The Rockets could have made the Finals.

    It was discussed here.
    Tmac fans went with the usual IF tmac is healthy and IF tmac is motivated and IF tmac buys on this team philosphy.
    He will be much better than those two.

    The other side of the board was
    That´s not gonna happen, we should have made that trade.

    I think Michael Rosenberg may have details wrong. We heard that it was Rip and Chauncey... Prince was not included.

    1) VERY VERY old news

    2) R U M O R

    we have ZERO idea if that was even true or not, eventho there is a certain segment of the board who dont know the difference between R U M O R and F A C T and start blasting the parties involved like it was a FACT, when it very plainly was NOT.

    anyway, since this is like ANCIENT news/rumor, I now apply the LOCK. :p
