    time. That is a tremendous talent. The combination of Steve and Cuttino, I
    think, is wonderful in the backcourt."

    Bob,

    They did want him over the summer but ran out of cap room. Still, I wouldn't do Outlaw's deal either. I like Mo over all but a few players in next year's draft, and the way the Clips are going they might actually have a somewhat decent record and get the 6th or 7th pick. I'd take Mo over say a 7th pick, and I'd definitely take Shandon over Outlaw.

    Hey Smeg, lets not get to hyper. If the people wish to believe, they shalt, and if they don't, then they...um...shant. Yea, that's it....the truth is out there... [​IMG]

    ------------------
    Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!

    Hold it, Agent 86! Let's not jump the gun here! I think the Rockets' towel boy has put in some quality minutes this year. His towel handling skills have improved dramatically from last year. some polls put him among the top NBA towel boys. All Garnet does is score points and win games. Who would handle the towel responsibilities? Collier's hurt so he couldn't do it (sorry, I realy like Collier now, but couldnt resist). I think we need to take a deep breath and consider our options before jumping into this...

    The only thing Shandon can do better than Bo is shoot treys and free throws.

    This trade will never happen....nonetheless if I were Houston I'd do it in a heartbeat. Mike Miller will be one of the top small forwards in a couple years.

    No. No way. No Fuqin' Way.

    CD is not that stupid, and Rudy wouldn't like it either.

    NO.

    Bob Rainey is a idiot. Why would Orlando trade a young talent like Miller for Taylor, who is only signed for the rest of the year?

    Congratulations Baquii. You just joined Cat on double secret probation. You are not allowed to read any more of my posts until I say otherwise, and you therefore will miss early news of blockbuster trades and related basketball information. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter, and I look forward to reinstating you once you prove you can be nice.

    Also, Orlando has made it clear to the rest of the league that Miller is on the block if the Magic can get properly compensated with a good power forward. This trade makes sense, and I now have talked to a second source who has confirmed the seriousness of my first source's story.

    B. Rainey, it was funny the first time you posted a "rumor". I laughed my ass off. But by now your act has gotten old. I am embarrassed for you.

    CD would have to be high as a kite to NOT make that trade!

    I like Shandon, but I'd trade him for Outlaw in a heartbeat!
