    patrick patt, toney douglas, marcus morris, terrence jone, 100 cases of wine!

    why the grizzlies do it? The get a physical player in ppat with a body of a young karl malone, a rebounding machine if you will.

    why the rockets do it? need some experience at the POWER forward.

    win win for both parties involved!

    As long as we're not giving up Parsons, D-Mo, Asik or Jones they can have anyone they want as far as I'm concerned...starting with Royce White.

    This guy is older than Delfino and he was a no show at the playoffs last year.

    Why is Memphis trying to blow it up? Their team is good?

    You'd give up Harden?

    $16.5m for 3 years? And he's turning 32 this year. Pass.

    I LOVE his game and he's what are we looking for but his injury thing, age and contract ( near max until 2016) is scaring the hell outta me.

    Also if we get Randolph we gotta slow down the pace and start to get used to half court offense in which i prefer as a offense style but i do think Rockets front office and Leslie wants this team to play fast paced for long years.

    Rockets may or may not like Randalph, but I can't recall a single instance in which Alex Kennedy has posted any trade rumor with any substance. Not in all the years I've been on this board.

    My opinion of Kennedy's rumors are about as much as any trade proposal in the random trade thread.

    He doesn't have to... he's 63% at the rim, 50% from 3-9 feet, and 40%+ from 10-23 feet.

    You can open up the lanes with a killer inside/mid range game when you hit shots like that.

    Not to mention he's averaging 11 rebounds per game AND can block shots.

    Just stick him on the weak side to score, or weak side for dump offs and he'll demand a lot of defensive attention.

    No show? Harden disappeared in the finals also. Zbo is a 200% upgrade from any player we have including harden
