What would you do before the trade deadline?

Salaries gotta match, Hinrich has a bloated contract thats why I put it up like that.

 

I didn't say trade Tracy....I said trade Artest.

BTW, there is no guaranted Tracy will get healthier, or quicker, this may be all he has.

Right now, he is simply afraid of going all out and it shows.....he should be on the bench....

I agree as well, who wouldn't trade Skip for Kirk and/or Artest for Miller straight up right now?

 

Mike Miller for Ron Artest, make it happen Morey

 

Can we get Van Gundy back as some type of defense coach, our defense has been pitiful the last few games.

 

Yea - TruWarier is not a real fighter, MM is - way more so!

Mike Miller's at the end of his career. He's playing like a vet min guy right now.

 

By that measure T-Mac doesn't fit either. He's too much of a ball stopper.

The Rockets would be better off with a lesser talent who actually plays the offense.

 

Trade T-Mac or Trade Adelman, they don't fit. Period.

 

His contract makes him untradeable...and I think once he gains confidence he will play better.

Artest is just not a good team player....not at all.

i would like to see Rip in Rockets jersey.

 

Fire Adelman and sign Jeff?

 

You think TMac does? I hate to say it but TMac and Ron should be considered to be traded. Enough of TMac.

 

In terms of what's realistic, absolutely.

But even if Artest goes if McGrady still is playing ball stopper then the Rockets still have a big, big problem.

 

At least Tmac can get more confidence and passes the ball well.....Artest doesn't....and his team defense is terrible.

Ron is great at one on one D, but he gambles far too much and gets burned a LOT on the defensive end.

Ron is a bigger problem IMO than Tmac.....

Though I would start Wafer over Tmac right now.

I just don't see TMac getting healthy this season. He had his chances to get healthy during the Summer and trying to get it going during the season is impossible. Look what 10 days did for him, he is still limping out there. TMac will not be healthy this season.

 

He is not limping he is playing like a weenie...he is just afraid, you can see it.

The guy is AFRAID of going all out......he just has to get through it, and gain confidence.

I have a lot more faith in that happening than Ron Artest learning to play team ball.
