Jalen Rose and Maurice Taylor both are Unrestricted Free Agent at Year 2007 Summer, that means they still with us at Season 2006-2007 season which many believe Yao begin with his max contract, so the rocket pay roll should like this Tmac 17M Rose 17M Yao 10M Mo 9M 4 Man team 17+17+10+9= 53M, No roll player involved any way. By the way, Jalen Rose can play any defence, his shot selection will drive JVG nuts.
Sura Rose Tmac Nene Yao Sounds good to me. Hell yeah Jimmy, Mo, Deke (that would be sad but it was nice having you lol), Gaines, Lue, Ward...they can all go. Just keep Barrett..Rodney White is a good backup.. Howard is a good backup for Nene...and Nene can play the 5. What a dream
what a dream indead. For the 2006-07 season we will be screwed salary cap wise but hey a foundation of Nene, Yao, and T-mac is great.
but rose will be in his last year of his deal in 06-07. an ending contract of that size is the most tradable asset in the league. we can get an allstar PG for his ending contract.
I love the Rose deal. I'd rather have a cancer with an expiring contract than a no-talent with long contract. At least the cancer will ball and then come off the books. Jalen is immediately the starter at small forward, and third option. He's the second option if Yao or Tmac are wussy on a given night. Can't see much chance, but sure, go for it. Toronto, enjoy your blackhole weak forward and Wookie. Hope Chris Bosh is happy! I'd love the Denver deal too, of course, if only. I can't see any way that could possibly happen. Nene is too darn good, too darn big. If they'll take JJ and Boki for Skita, fine by me. Just exit JJ pronto. His cancer nature is re-surfacing.
lol JVGone.. I think JVG probably wants to get rid of Mo too. I think he'd rather have Nene than Mo. I THINK WE ALL WOULD. I will go crazy..this bbs will go crazy if we can somehow get Nene, Rose, and White for Jimmy, Mo, and some of our 3rd string players..and some picks maybe. I wish
Something like: Jalen Rose, Rafer Alston, Loren Woods, Donyell Marshall for Deke, Mo, Boki, Jim Jackson, Tyronn Lue, Weatherspoon Sorry, but yes, I pulled a realgm on this one. It could happen after tomorrow (Dec 15). Jalen at the small forward spot, Donyell as a 3 pt shooting power forward, Jalen can also pass and hit the 3, Rafer Alston might be a poor man's Francis but he turns it over less.........and is certainly looking to get the f*** out of Toronto; Loren can play backup center; it works out better for Toronto cap-wise in the next couple years. Just dreamcasting, though. Supposedly the Knicks are hot after Carter but what would they give up, and why would Toronto take New York's detritus, just to watch their own franchise implode and the Knicks get galvanized with an "oh-I'm-not-as-injured-as-I-thought" Vince Carter?
The only thing about trading with Toronto is I dont think CD and Grunwald would take two free passes and go to wally world together after that Damon Stoudamire debacle. Oh wait. scratch that. forgot about the Hakeem trade. Though the no trade till decemeber 15th idea that Roxtxia brought up has me thinking CD is in a backroom with no windows finalizing some deal that he just has to wait on before he can make it legal.
You haven't heard? Apparently Toronto's GM is running the team from an insane asylum and has secured a steady source of incoming crack rock. He's cracked up and cracked out...... God, if only it were true.
The trades for the forwards sound great but noone has really touched on a legit point guard who can really run the show out there. What about the need to recover the huge gaping hole in the backcourt!!! ?Rafer Alston? I think that he will be hard to pry away.
Possible Trade Rumor #991 I found this on realgm.com NYC sports radio mentioned that Peter Vescey claimed one of his infamous "inside sources" (as in it hardly ever turns out to be true) has said the Houston Rockets have been in "serious discussions" with the Denver Nuggets for about a month to trade SG/SF Bostjan Nachbar (who they said apparently worked with Kiki in Europe and who they said has gotten on Houston coach Jeff Van Gundy's bad side), SF/SG Jim Jackson, and a second round draft pick to the Denver Nuggets for SF Rodney White and PF/C Nene, who they said as become a team cancer in Denver according to inside sources close to the Nuggets organization. Vescey's source claims that the deal has a "likely chance to happen sometime after New Year's". Also another of Vescey's infamous (again as in usually never happens) "inside sources" is claiming that the Houston Rockets are also in "very serious" trade talks with the Toronto Raptors about trading PF Maurice Taylor (who they said sources close to the Rockets organization say is seriously in Rocket's GM Caroll Dawson's and Rocket's coach Jeff Van Gundy's dog houses) and C Dikembe Mutombo to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for SG/SF Jalen Rose, who they said, again according to "inside sources" close to the Raptors organization "will be traded soon". Could this be true, and has anyone else heard this? Thoughts?
I'm good with both. Pistol Packing White has a good jump shot and even though some think him a bust, I like what Nene brings to the table. While i love me some cookie monster, and think Jalen (jim rome's b****) rose is overrated, I would do anything to get rid of Morijuana Taylor.
