    Ran across this post on ESPN, and it made me dizzy just trying to analize it, but it deserved a good laugh.??


    Indiana Pacers NBA Chat | Board

    All Free Agents resign for same price except Olajuwon gets 4.5 million and Ruben Patterson gets about 1.07 million which he is worth I think.

    Rockets trade:
    Matt Bullard
    Hakeem Olajuwon
    Shandon Anderson
    Maurice Taylor

    Rockets get:
    Zan Tabak
    Austin Croshere
    Dean Garrett
    Anthony Peeler

    Pacers trade:
    Zan Tabak
    Jeff Foster
    Jalen Rose
    Al Harrington
    Austin Croshere
    Travis Best

    Pacers get:
    Matt Bullard
    Hakeem Olajuwon
    Terrell Brandon
    Ruben Patterson
    David Wingate

    Wolves trade:
    Dean Garrett
    Anthony Peeler
    Terrell Brandon

    Wolves get:
    Shandon Anderson
    Al Harrington
    Emanual Davis
    Olumide Oyedeji
    Gary Payton
    Ruben Wolkowyski

    Sonics trade:
    Ruben Patterson
    David Wingate
    Emanual Davis
    Olumide Oyedeji
    Gary Payton
    Ruben Wolkowyski

    Sonics get:
    Maurice Taylor
    Jeff Foster
    Jalen Rose
    Travis Best

    I think there are questions to why HOU or IND does this...It depends on how bad Houston wants to keep their free agents and how much they like Croshere and if Indiana wants to make a few more runs at the title which I think they could with that roster sooner than with the one they have now. Minnesota looks better than I had anticipated but some new players came on cause of salary reasons and Seattle is very well compensated for GP.

    I think the above should read-

    Rockets get:
    screwed

    Croshere seems to be a one hit wonder, and the rest combined dont' equal Olajuwon, let alone the other players Houston loses.

    I might be mistaken, but didn't all the teams mentioned have winning records last year?

    So why would they rip up their teams to facilitate this trade?

    And isn't it convenient that the Pacers get 3 of the more accomplished players on the "list"?

    TOOO FUNNY!!! [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
