We should give them Toronto's pick this year. We can tell them that we will have a better pick next year and they could use on it one of those big foreign dudes.

TRADE ACCEPTED send Utah our top 5 pick Toronto can keep their own pick
Did you really just trade Mo Taylor, KT, Jason Collier and both of our draft picks for Greg Ostertag and Kirilenko?? Maybe one of the worst trade proposals I've ever seen.
substitute the Bryce Drew comp from Chicago to Toronto Houston keeps 15 and takes a Haslip or something Sure I'd trade average for good with huge upside anyday Especially if it fits team needs, tho it does leave Houston thin at PF, Houston would have all star caliber players in 4 of their starting 5 Houston could spend part of their exception on a Jerome James or someone to eat minutes behind Eddie. Also, Houston looses Mo Tay's contract, and Osterfat's contract will come off same time as Rice. Andrei has a sweet rookie contract. I know it's a lot, but it gives Houston everything they need for a title, save depth, which wouldn't be much of a problem with so much cap room.
The thought of Ostertag in a Rockets uniform makes me wanna throw up. The NBA gave Utah a team to make it easy for NBA fans to hate one single team, as opposed to a variety of players on a variety of teams. It's no coincidence that every player I have ever despised wears a mountain range across his chest. Only guy in the NBA outside the Jazz who I really don't like is Reggie Miller. If the Jazz traded Bryon Russell and Deshawn Stevenson to the Pacers for Reggie, my theory would be bulletproof.
VARocketsFan You know Jazz players are the only ones I hate myself. RNuss02 isn't age 21 a little early for the label "soft"?
With both Cato and Ostertag this team could start doing Viagra ads. We'd have the two biggest stiffs in the league!
