    I have been secretly hoping that Denver unplugs and unloads and we could get Nene for either expiring/trade exception and one player like Hill. The two bigs I ideally want to add to our team that may possibly be available would be Nene and Anthony Randolph. I would trade any combination of Scola/Hill/Jeffries/Budinger/2011 pick swap, 2011 2nd rounder..........to make that happen.

    No, thanks on Nene ... his old with a high price tag....

    We should trade for a young center to develop instead. If we do make the playoffs, I'd rather trade for a developing big to have him gain experience. Than trade for an aging Nene...

    Young (available) centers to look at:
    Hasheem Thabeet, Cole Aldrich, Hassan Whiteside, B.J. Mullens....

    They've always said publicly that they are willing to go over the luxury tax if the right deal came along.

    Nene would be by far the best player Morey has ever traded for so I think they would be willing if their public statements are not lying.

    None of these guys ceilings are anywhere close to where Nene is right now.

    Nene is PF (not a C), bad defender, not great rebounder and you want him? Idiocy

    I'd love it, but Rick would still just play Chuck Hayes over him, so it's a moot point in my opinion.

    I'm guessing we'd be giving up Hill, JJ, and then something else as well. Maybe DPE for Birdman or Harrington and some sort of the 3 way deal to move that player?

    I dunno I really have no clue what I am talking about...just kicking this can around for fun.

    I think Nene may be better than all 4 of those guys put together...

    You've lost the right to complain about this team not trying to get better. You'd rather have rookies then someone proven who is 28 :eek:

    That would hurt, since Scola is one of our few truly reliable scorers AND rebounders.

    I guess you gotta give up something to get something though, and Nene would look really good in Rocket's red.

    Really?!? So his better than...

    Ron Artest, Kevin Martin and Luis Scola(we traded for his rights)

    Sigh.... SMH

    Wow your overrating Nene, every one of those guys has a much higher ceiling than what Nene currently is.

    Just from physical attributes alone, each one of those guys have the potential to be a bigger impact on the defensive end than Nene. Within in the next 3 yrs through proper development..

    No his not old in terms of the NBA. His in his prime. But you have to look at the bigger picture, and stop being so short sided. The Rockets are looking down the road, and seeing who will better 3-4yrs from now.

    Stop thinking in a win-now mentality, and look towards the future..

    ..........He is 28 and he will be 29 when his contract expires.

    Those other 4 guys you mentioned are aging as we speak as well! :cool:

    I still think Nene could be alot better using his skills and we are more than able to develop him even more ..

    Also he's a bit undersized .. and if we trade for him I hope Miller is a part of it but that's highly unlikely ..

    It's pretty obvious you haven't watch many NENE games....especially to think that those bums you called YOUNG CENTERS even compare to him. He's not a superstar, but well above average at his position. Is he over paid? Hell yes! Who is NOT overpaid in the NBA these days?! LOL Nene would fit perfectly in this front line.
