    Here goes,

    Denver trades: Ryan Bowen $630,850 to Houston
    Denver trades: Calbert Cheaney $2,400,000 to Houston
    Denver trades: Raef LaFrentz $3,755,142 to Washington
    Denver trades: Kevin Willis $3,000,000 to Washington
    TOTAL: $9,785,992


    Chicago trades: Brad Miller $4,400,000 to Houston (plus Trade Kicker $690,000)
    Chicago trades: Ron Mercer $6,750,000 to Denver
    Chicago trades: Eddy Curry $2,232,000 to Houston
    TOTAL: $13,382,000


    Houston trades: Jason Collier $1,280,067 to Washington
    Houston trades: Kelvin Cato $6,048,000 to Chicago
    Houston trades: Walt Williams $5,000,000 to Chicago
    Houston trades: Kenny Thomas $946,920 to Chicago
    Houston trades: Dan Langhi $465,850 to Chicago
    TOTAL: $13,740,837



    Washington trades: Jahidi White $4,413,375 to Denver (BYC Value $3,310,031)
    Washington trades: Hubert Davis $2,368,421 to Houston
    Washington trades: Courtney Alexander $1,418,355 to Houston
    Washington trades: Etan Thomas $1,493,046 to Houston
    TOTAL: $9,693,197


    TRADE VALUES ARE VIABLE AND COMPLIES WITH THE CBA

    Due to Denver and Washington being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. Denver and Washington had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here.

    Washington would also receive a trade exception of $554,644 with this trade.

    Wizards solidifies the 5 with replacement guys for White in the middle with the possibility of shedding $7.0 mil in salary next year (Willis/Lafrentz/Collier)

    Denver gets a replacement guy in the middle for LaFrentz and Willis. Denver also gets an exceptional 2 gaurd to augment Van Exel/Johnson in the backcourt.

    Houston gets replacement guys for Williams and Thomas, upgrades the 5 position with Curry, adds 1 & 2 guard depth and gets the possibility of shedding $7.4 mil in salary next year (Bowen/Chaney/Miller). Allows Houston to renounce Moochie if necessary.

    Chicago gets the center that played with their coach in college, adds quality depth at the 3 and 4 by increasing their core of young prospects, adds a veteran 3. and gets the possibility of shedding $5.0 mil in salary next season.

    When non human primates are stressed or in some cases bored, they have been known to throw their feces about.

    You have taken this action into both our species, and our bbs. Please refrain from doing so. (happy now behad :))

    Achebe,

    What is up with the constant insults?

    Oh, I'm sorry...only you are allowed to have fun on this bbs. I forgot it was here only for your personal amusement.

    constant insults? :confused:

    You just landed Courtney Alexander, the most prolific college scorer in last year's draft; Eddie Curry, symbolic of Chicago's rebuilding and Brad Miller(who many would trade for Cato straight), all the while unloading Kelvin Cato and some change. You also completely dismantled Denver and rebuilt Washington.

    Congratulations should be in order! I must have completely misunderstood my first go around!!!

    btw, various admins have asked posters to refrain from turning the rockets forum into a realgm trade review site. I doubt that this applies to you (since you don't do it very frequently), I just thought that you might like to know.

    Achebe,
    That being said....
    then why would you call it feces.

    Although pure fanasty, it is just plain fun.

    Besides Denver needs dismantaling:D

    Sorry if I responding that way, but your first post was not one of your normal shining examples of greatness;)

    Hey!, I've been around the bbs for a long time....I've seen quite a few spam posts in that time. This is far from being one of the offensive type. EG. look at the current list on 'Let's talk Rockets'....at least it concerns the Rocks......

    Jamison Signing???:confused: Where did that come from

    This deal sucks for us. Obviously. Anyone can see that. Besides, we had Mercer already, he was hated by his teammates and the fans. No more. He's gone. Thank God.

    And give up the LaFrentz dream.

    In all fairness, this trade did not have La Frentz going to the Rockets.

    ROCKET!!!!...with all that free time you have, you want to come work for my non-profit organization? The Miralces Due Happen Foundation could use a guy with all that imagination to do some fundraising.

    Anyway...a little off topic here but when is the earliest we can lock up Stevie to one of those "max" contracts like Jamison and Vinsanity just got?

    Ok, ya'll only a few fantasy trades allowed. I like creativity, but let's try to keep these trade ideas to a minimum.
