    He wants out of Denver (hey, who doesn't?) and we know the Rockets like him. Real GM says we could trade Taylor, Thomas, and Walt for him. Ordinarily, I don't think that Denver would make such a deal, but if Dice forces a move, I think the trade would be very attractive.

    I don't see that happening. Denver would want one of our big three and at this time and considering his injury it would be better to keep the team intact until the summer.

    DONT FORGET who Mcdyess's agent is? Do you really think that CD would be willing to work with him again?

    If we wouldn't have loaded our team with high salaries of Taylor,Norris, and Rice, we could actually be a player in the free agent market this yr (Rashard Lewis). Its just a pipe dream unless someone would want to take some of our trash.

    Is it Fegan? I don't know. I know he fired Tony Dutt...

    Can't see anything happening with McDyess. To get a player of his caliber, you start by giving Griffin and working from there. I don't think you could possibly get him otherwise (the Rockets would never part with Francis and doubtful Mobley)

    I might be wrong Clutch, but I thought I remembered reading that Feagan was his agent. Was Tony Dutt.... from Houston too?

    Screw going after Dice, we don't need him. I'm not saying the guys not good, but IMO Griff will be just as good in 3 years or less. We need to concentrate on a 5, not a 4. Figure out a way to get Miller in here from Chicago. He seems to be the only decent guy who is somewhat available.

    I thought McDyess was available to be a free agent in like 2 years anyway so screw trying to acquire him now. Also, I thought the decision for EG was to groom him more for a 3 and not a 4 or 5.

    KT probably doesnt wanna back up Mo and deservedly so, i think he is better, Mo cant rebound and doesnt score any points after the first quarter, whats the deal with that.

    Hey they need big men don't they why dont we package Taylor and Kenny in there for McDyess. I'm not giving up on kenny and I 'm not bashing himn I just think I f he wants to start why not give him to Denver. I love the Job he did for us while Mo was out. But big Fella you gotta go its Mcdyess. Oh and NugzFan I relly think the front office is dumb asses for bringing back Issel.:rolleyes:

    We could easily get McDyess. Just trade Griffen, K. Thomas, and our #1 pick and he's ours. This should make us a playoff team immediately. However, I have a feeling in 4 years that Griffen is going to be better then McDyess anyway so I would stay away from it.

    You guys are always good for a laugh. I am kind of disappointed though that I didn't see any Langhi + Moochie for Dice rumors though. ;)

    Um, dude, you might not have noticed but Issel isn't a member of the franchise any more. Don't worry the news is only, oh 5 or so days old.

    "Pistons Prey On Heat". Is there a reason you linked me to the main page at nba.com with that as the headline?
