    There are two ways to go - Kurt Thomas or Shareef Abdur Rahim.

    Thomas is going nowhere the way he's playing but Rahim is stinking it up.

    Want a piece of that? Where there's a will, there's a 3-way.


    Basically, I say screw it. Work on that next season. This season, let's try to get Derek Anderson, who's hurt and forgotton in Portand. That's the guy we need. Assists, baby, assists. Trade exception, work your magic.

    I'm good with Cato. Do your thing, big man!

    They cut bait with griff and cat, maybe we get a bust like Kwame.
    I don't see anything better. Kurt Thomas is a stud so far this year. They missed the boat. You suck CD.

    I dont post many trade ideas, but this one is tha bomb:

    Houston trades: C John Amaechi (2.0 ppg, 1.5 rpg, 0.4 apg in 9.5 minutes)
    PG Moochie Norris (4.3 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 2.4 apg in 16.8 minutes)
    Houston receives: C Michael Stewart (0.8 ppg, 1.2 rpg, 0.1 apg in 5.3 minutes)
    SG Ira Newble (7.7 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 1.4 apg in 26.5 minutes)
    Change in team outlook: +2.2 ppg, +1.5 rpg, and -1.3 apg.

    Cleveland trades: C Michael Stewart (0.8 ppg, 1.2 rpg, 0.1 apg in 5.3 minutes)
    SG Ira Newble (7.7 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 1.4 apg in 26.5 minutes)
    Cleveland receives: C John Amaechi (2.0 ppg, 1.5 rpg, 0.4 apg in 50 games)
    PG Moochie Norris (4.3 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 2.4 apg in 82 games)
    Change in team outlook: -2.2 ppg, -1.5 rpg, and +1.3 apg.

    TRADE ACCEPTED

    i don't think any team wants taylor. if the rockets really don't want him, they can dump him.

    Eactly, Taylor Sucks and always has. Every other team in the NBA recognizes it. I put Taylor in the same class as Moochie. They both are highly over paid and lack talent.

    Taylor's pps is 1.05, which is unacceptable for any player let alone a power forward. This guy doesn't know how to play defense which is exemplified by his inability to get rebounds.

    If we get rid of Mobley, which I believe is a good idea, I think we need to package Taylor in that deal.

    what does trading mobley have to do with anything?
    why do you guys want to get rid of him so badly? have you not noticed how well he has played in the last 4 games? because of his help, we were able to beat the nets.
    what's up with all this mobley hating?
    first yao, then steve, now mobley? who's next?

    Absolutely! We need a "Griffin replacement." He was a 7th pick that was wasted. He was going to be our PF that could score/rebound/and block shots.

    Imagine the possibilities if we had another 7th pick!

    Watching the Sonic-Blazers game a little, man would I love to get Rasheed on this team. Yeah he's a headcase, he has a tech. tonight, but he can flat out dominate when he wants to. Tonight he has 23 and 8 through 3. He has a nice shot from outside, and tonight has looked fantastic with his back to the basket. Anyone thing we could possibly bring him in with a deal starting with Cat and the trade exception?

    I think we have to at least get somebody on a 10 day.
    The idea of making a major trade right now blows, imo. Everyone will know we're desperate and we'll probably get hosed.

    I can't believe this ****.

    Not only would it be hard to make a major trade but you're still stuck with Mo Taylor's contract. He's going to be back at some point and you're not going to sit him down in favor of someone you just traded for so I think the best thing to do might be to ride this rough patch and see if you can add a veteran free agent or something in the meantime. Mo is practically untradeable unless we're going to take some other team's headache of their hands. A crazy disruptive type player... Rasheed, Ron Artest, etc.

    This is perfect timing for Eddie to make a comeback. Seriously, MoT out for atleast 10 games, have Eddie come off the bench and maybe he'll play with some emotion and play some real basketball.
