    It is proven tonight that Cuttino Mobley is to inconsistent to be our third option thus i've come up with a trade that would help us and the following team. Jalen Rose who could score if needed and "pass" if needed is the perfect veteran third option that we need. Our lineup would be perfect.


    Chicago trades: SF Jalen Rose (22.1 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 4.8 apg in 40.9 minutes)
    Chicago receives: PF Maurice Taylor (8.4 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 1.0 apg in 20.6 minutes)
    SG Cuttino Mobley (17.5 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 2.9 apg in 41.7 minutes)
    Change in team outlook: +3.8 ppg, +3.4 rpg, and -0.9 apg.

    Houston trades: PF Maurice Taylor (8.4 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 1.0 apg in 20.6 minutes)
    SG Cuttino Mobley (17.5 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 2.9 apg in 41.7 minutes)
    Houston receives: SF Jalen Rose (22.1 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 4.8 apg in 82 games)
    Change in team outlook: -3.8 ppg, -3.4 rpg, and +0.9 apg.

    TRADE ACCEPTED

    Due to Chicago and Houston being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. Chicago and Houston had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Our Roster:
    Ming/Cato/Meech
    Cato/Griffin/Braggs/Padgett
    Rose/A. Griffin/Nachbar
    JJ/Pike
    Francis/Wilks/Norris


    what do you guys think?

    Give me insite as to why or why not.

    Ok,

    But maybe we should wait for Piatkowski to get back.

    are you guys basketball fans? have you ever seen jalen rose play? if you think mobley is bad, youve never seen rose play. talk about a terrible decision-maker.

    If we trade for Rose, I hope everyone would be prepared for Yao's touches to go way down. ;)

    Jalen Rose is a better passer than Cuttino, but he has a terrible attitude. He has a reputation of being selfish and jacking up many shots just to get his stats. Besides, he's got a huge contract.

    So, no thanks.

    What we really need is a backup point guard who can play 20 minutes a night so that Steve can play some two and Moochie can stay on the bench.

    Did you forget that we may need a PF?

    Any idea if when Pike comes back that Moochie will only back up Francis, with Steve playing solely at the 1? The fewer the minutes for Moochie the better.

    Jalen Rose is the only unpurchased "McFarlane Toys" sports figurine I ever see still hangin' on the pegs at every toy store.

    Must mean he stinks.

    And I think I agree.

    No.

    Right now, I'd love to give Mobley up for George Lynch. We need to remove Mobley from the offense, because he's taking away too many shots. I'd love to divide those shots between MoT and Ming. Lynch would take very very few shots, while JJ would move to the 2. Our defense would improve, as well as our offensive efficiency.

    Yao/Cato
    MoT/Cato/Braggs
    Lynch/AG/Boki
    JJ/Pike
    Francis/Moochie


    Don't know why the Hornets would make a move though considering they're 3-0.

    Or prepared to pay Rose $60m over the next 4 years.

    what we need is a real pg,
    and move francis to the 2 spot.

    anyone can think of any decent PGs in the league,
    we could use cuttino to trade for?

    i haven't heard that before:rolleyes:
    but since this was your first post you probably missed the 17.976 threads in the past months that al said the same thing. i still think that francis is a good point guard. give him a chance with a real offensive player next to him (yao). last year yao was tired alot and that effected his game. we will see this year.

    I think any time anyone makes a mistake in a game this season, we should trade them...

    Oh man. Sacramento would be all over that deal. They would be silly not to pull the trigger.

    Why don't we throw in Yao Ming as well in return for Chris Webber, and change our team name to the Houston Kings. :D
