That Line Up Rocks!

We are gonna be weak at Center if this trade were to happen.

[crossover]

u missed dale davis

don't see how we'd come out much better after this trade

[MLC1MGC2ALC3]

Dale Davis can play spot duty at CENTER.

[Hottoddie]

This team rocks better.

Houston sends Cato/Mobley/E.Griffin to Indiana.

Indiana sends Artest/Harrington/Tinsley/Ferry (expiring contract) to Houston.


C: Ming/Stepania/Collier
PF: Harrington/Taylor/Badiane
SF: Artest/A.Griffin/Nachbar/Rice(IL)/Ferry(IL)
SG: Francis/Piatkowski
PG: Tinsley/Francis/Moochie(IL)

With this trade, we get an extra $4.5 million in cap relief at the end of the year. Or, we can trade either Rice or Ferry to a team seeking cap relief, in exchange for a player we need, & still remain below the Luxury Tax. How'd you like to be in position to trade all of Rice's expiring contract for a solid player or a couple of quality role players to add depth?

Cap space won't guarantee you get the best FA's, but expiring contracts will definitely get you some quality players in trades.

Oh my bad, I have some bad eyes.How old is Davis anyway?

[pasox2]

Bonzi is cuttino on steroids. Pass.

[codell]

Dale Davis has to be at least 35 or so. He is the only real prize for us IMO. Patterson?? No thanks. McGinnis?? Would be nice to have as a backup, but the limited mins he would get doesn't offset giving up our starting SG and two backup bigmen. Wells would help offset the loss of Cat, but he comes with baggage just like Patterson.

I pass.

They add Zach Randolph and we add a future pick, trade accepted.

I still would say TRADE REJECTED.... I would never do this kind of trade unless i was on crack

[Legendary21]

I say it ain´t bad. We get Bonzi and Patterson. They could man both the 2 and 3 for us.

BUT PATTERSON IS CANCER.... and Bonzi, i prefer Cat...

They'd be dumb to trade Randolph. No way they do that.

[TheHorns]

I say it all the time b/c of threads like this...

Cato was dumped by the Blazers several years back when he made about $1 million per year. Why in the hell would they want him at $7= million?


They will never be so dumb as to take that guy back especially with what he makes.

ps-

I doubt either team is too interested in trading half of their roster if niether team is going to get much better.
