    Please tell me that we are not thinking about trading Francis,Cato, and our 9th pick for Marbury and the 1st pick. That has got to be the worst trade of all time.

    Yup, it's true. It was reported in the Miami Harold. Yes, that's right... the Harold. Marbury will be our starting PG with Cuttino and we'll have Swift or Martin to boot. Woo hoo!!!

    I thought the Miami Harold merged with the Miami Miner.

    uh,

    how bout Drew and Cato for Swift. Hehe.

    But seriously.

    WHy trade for smaller people? I dont want a midget team.

    And I dont want Pigberry. Or a guy named Steffan.

    Ill keep Shandon, Cuttino, Francis and Moochie.

    Thank you very much.

    Crisco-I think we should trade for #1 to draft Pryzbilla. He could be as tall as 7'3''! If not, take Mihm, he's 7'0''.

    Other great picks to ponder:
    Tsakalidis (7'2'')
    Shabazz (7'2'')
    Samake (7'2'')
    Bagaric (7'1'')

    is Pigberry some weird mutation of Lee Mayberry and Anthony Miller?

    I think we should have traded Thomas Hamilton for Muggsy Bogues. Muggsy is short. Two Sammiches is big. It's a fair deal, right?

    -Gonna get to 500 before heypartner reaches 2,000-NIKEstrad

    True,

    However, Francis is already close to Marbury if not better then already, and he is only a rookie.

    I think someone is pulling our legs.

    NIKE-

    how bout trading the #38 and Drew straight up for Tabak?

    Get Seikaly or Muresan, draft Moiso

    then for the future -

    Center - Tabak/Muresan
    PF - Cato/Moiso

    7 footers! COOL!

    Pig = his game berry = NJ uniforms

    And keep Muggsy away from Hamilton. Don't want Sandwiches to eat him. Mugsy wouldnt be an effective player in his bellay.

    lol, the all-bones team.

    I been trying to think of easy ways to get talented tall people. Remember that midevil torure device? The rack, I think it was called. They would stretch people. If we can just get KT to sign a waiver ...

    Also, if the ROckets do get all those 7 footers, I would prefer to keep Walt to keep them in line. He punches high!

    And Muresan smelled like cabbage.

    i would trade francis cato and kt for marbury and #1. think about it. then just trade drew and walt for Kandi. draft kmart with #1 and draft Miller with #9. think about what our lineup would be.

    PG Starbury/Mooch
    SG Anderson.Mobes
    SF Miller/Bullard
    PF KMART/Pig?
    C Dream/Kandi

    Ouch what happened to "the Franchise?"

    Francis,Cato, and our 9th pick for Marbury and the 1st pick.

    Well, here in this trade is Francis supposed to be more valuable than Marbury? Or are they equal?

    Next, then Cato and the 9th pick then are worth the 1st pick on their own!!!!


    Or has Marbury become a thorne soo bad on the Nets that they are willing to get rid of Marbury at the cost of the 1st pick for Cato and the 9th pick.

    Unless Rudy thinks that Swift is a sure no miss candidate for NBA MVP and is going to be the best player, then I say don't do this trade!!!

    But, then again if Swift is the Real thing, I say do it. A Swift and Marbury connection would be awsome!!! Remember Rudy got Hakeem playing MVP type of basketball.

    For next year:

    c-hakeem/pig
    pf-Swift/thomas
    sf-Williams/Anderson(also the backup at sf)
    sg-Anderson/Mobley (may leave due to infidelity by the Rockets)
    pg-Marbury/Norris

    This team would look poised to compete in no time at all. They would lack a center and a Starting SF. Maybe Williams shows why he was drafted with the 7th pick. Williams should be good given playing time.

    compare to

    C-Hakeem/Pig
    pf-Moiso/Thomas
    sf-Williams/Bullard
    sg-Anderson/Mobley
    pg-Francis/Norris

    A team still lacking a center, proven pf, lacks a SF.

    Therefore do you put all of your money in one stock which is Francis, or do you diversify and put your money evenly into Swift and Marbury.

    If any of you guys are into business, the smart business decision is to diversify, unless you have some insider information and know that Francis will become the next Microsoft ala Michael Jordan.

    So brocken down here it is:
    Francis=a star (potential super star)
    Cato=a top 10 center (potential to be legitiamte NBA big man)
    #9 pick=likley equals a solid NBA role player

    Marbury=a ball hogging stark(one dimensional future prospect doesnt' look as good as that of Francis'
    #1pick (likley Swift)=likely the best player in the league for the next 10 years!!!!

    Uhm, if Swift comes to Houston, I say do it!!!!!!!!
