    Sorry if this has already been posted, but I can't do a search. If so, please lock.

    Quote from article:
    There has also been scuttlebutt Villanueva could be involved in a multi-player trade that would send him to Houston.
    In return, the Bucks would possibly receive reserve forward Carl Landy, who was a prep star at Milwaukee Vincent High School.

    Don't know how reliable the source is.

    Do it, Villa is 6'11" and we really need some size.

    I think Landry would be better on this team than Charlie V would.

    CharLuis Scolaneuva?

    His size doesn't equate to rebounding or defense. So what difference does it make?

    Landry isn't last year's Landry.. the current Landry is a lazy boneheaded bum who just signed a big contract and is looking to relax.. when was the last time you saw him make a great play? when was the last time you saw him dive for an offensive rebound and slam it back in?

    he sucks right now, period.. getting rid of Head + getting CV is a dream come true.. we need change already

    The guy on spurstalk was saying something like this:

    Quote from spurstalk:
    From what I know, the deal may involve the Lakers as well:

    Milwaukee gets Landry, sends Lue and Villanueva
    LAL gets Lue, sends Mihm
    Houston gets Villanueva and Mihm, sends Landry and Head

    Negotiations ongoing, but it looks almost done.

    Villanueva can stretch the court pretty well, being able to play inside in addition to shooting the occasional long ball.

    However, I don't know if I'd be comfortable trading Carl Landry for him. Landry still has untapped potential in my mind, where as you know that Villanueva is not going to bring much more than we've already seen of him over the course of his four year career.

    What the hell? Are you watching the same games as we are? Landry is all hustle and all energy. This does not seem like a Morey move. I opt to remain skeptical.

    No thanks, the guy has no eyebrow and can't rebound like Landry does.

    That's funny, I saw those tonight (maybe not the slam part, but definitely the offensive rebound and put back - still 2 pts)...

    The needs are a legit starting PG and a defense/rebounding backup C......we already have 3 serviceable PF's :confused:

    This would be a dumb trade. The Rockets need someone like Okafor. Someone that is big, plays defense, and rebounds well. Camby would be nice as well.

    Seriously?! :confused:

    I disagree 100%. He still hustle, he does it every game... recently hes been off but Landry is a good player that give it his all. He's wayy more valuable than Villanueva.
