    Throughout the years here at Clutchfans we've seen many trades predicted correctly. With all the speculation in the BBS, usually somebody's two cents is correct.
    I think the poster who said we should target Scola several weeks before trading for him is a perfect example of an "I told you so" moment.

    What are your predictions? You can make it whatever you want and the more random, the better. Try to make it somewhat realistic as well.

    I really think that there are no available players that truly fill our team's needs. Our Knicks pick swap looks to be insignificant because the east is so weak.
    Perhaps Morey has a back up plan at finding a (8-13) pick while still pushing for the playoffs.

    I hope we could somehow get the Clipper's 1st. We currently are just 5 games ahead of them and only one place ahead of them in the west.

    I think Clip's would consider it. The team is trying to win everything now that fans are watching. They need to put some vets around Griffin as well.

    I believe Morey will trade for a lotto pick, most likely from the Clippers

    We will acquire a center from Los Angeles...either Deandre Jordan, Chris Kaman, or Andrew Bynum

    Again guys, make a prediction that is that hasn't been beaten with a dead horse. I won't accept an "I told you so" from anyone but Clutch if we get Nene or Granger. Come on guys, be bold

    I don't see a overly significant trade happening. There will be a deal or two just so they can say.. we tried.

    Not really but I would take him just so it is someone different to root for.

    Knowing that we have 1% Chance at the winning the lottery or championship, Morey will try to get a little bit of both worlds. Sneak in the 8th and get a late lotto. I'd be thrilled with that and it wouldn't take much.

    SF: G.Wallace most likely.. Iggy/Granger are not available.
    C: I would like Nene/Camby but it's long shot. I can see Morey grabbing Dalembert at the end. Or may be even Nazr M.. if we give Yao for G.Wallace+Nazr Mohammed

    Kaman is the most likely center that is obtainable. I'm not interested in him,but Les might say yes to acquiring him.

    Did Mavs really want Martin that badly last season?

    Rights to Ricky Rubio in some form or fashion. No inside knowledge.

    Off topic - Why are you guys so uptight when a new thread is started? It's really not that big of a deal.

    Anyway, I predict Deandre Jordan will be a Rocket. Jordan Hill and Luis Scola will be out.

    This was the prediction I stated today and I'm sticking with it as well.

    I'll be happy no matter what the team does as long as it involves a direction.

    Does he have a terrible contract? I'd love to see something where we get Kaman and their 1st. That would maybe get us to the playoffs and give us Rocket fans another team to root against. I've loved rooting against NY this year. I'm bad with trade machines, maybe brooks, Jefferies, Budinger, for Kaman and 1st
