    Not sure if this has been discussed. Just heard it on ABC Channel 13 that this is rumored.

    If this is true I'm even more pissed. So we traded Mike James last year for Rafer only to have to waste our draft pick to bring him back. Absolutely brilliant!!! :mad:

    That would be huge. That rumor came up on the infamous HoopsWorld, so I hope they didn't pull it from there. Getting James while keeping the MLE intact would be great.

    It would make more sense to send Swift to a third team than back to Memphis where he burned his bridges. But you better not be making up this shiite.

    Memphis would probably be open to trade revisions considering Swift doesn't want to be there and The Grizz didn't think he was worth keeping last summer.

    Maybe the deal is falling apart, Jerry West would go bonkers, make him sweat a little...sweeten the pot some.

    If we get Battier and James on that 3way...that would be great. We can spend our MLE to a PF...hope Luther Head is not included...

    If we are getting Battier and James for Gay and Swift then CD has really outdone himself.

    This would make me feel a whole lot better about the deal. Gay, Swift for Battier, James. AND we get to keep our MLE??? Sweet!

    Who's left out there for the MLE? Bonzi?

    You'd have to have more than Gay and Swift to balance out that deal,eh?

    Like I said in the other thread, that hoopsworld article is bogus.

    Unfortunately the local media seems to have gotten ahold of it. If it turns up as crap (which it most likely will) it makes internet sites (and us by association) look bad.

    And in case you still have doubts on Bill "The Rocket Guy" Ingram's crediblity, I'm still waiting on the Latrell Sprewell signing that he guaranteed would happen.
