    I kind of feel it's either:

    - a minor trade to give Head playing time elsewhere
    - free up some contracts and gain cash/draft picks
    - or we're going to have the same squad for the rest of the year (hopefully soon, we'll hear Me-Mac will be out for the rest of the season so he can work back to his 2004 form)

    It would be nice to get rid of Artest's contract and gain some players to help this squad, but I don't think Morey has enough to give up.

    I believe Artest will be history.

    The FG% of Artest is 38.8% which is not much worse than Miller or VC. Most roxers have been familiar with Artest, and I guess his staying is better to rox. As to CHEMISTRY, no one can tell the true result, either Miller or VC.

    Do Miller and VC stand around at the 3 point line? Do they move without the ball?

    A trade will be made, but we don't know how big it will be though. It could be Vince Carter it could be someone not that known in the league. In my opinion a trade will be made, just maybe not that big of a deal.

    Given the current situation of our team, highly unlikely.

    I definately expect either Tracy or Ron to be gone by the end of the trade deadline. Where and who we get in return is yet to be seen, but I have no doubt in my mind something is going to happen, and when it does, I have confidence that Morey will leave the team improved.

    i dont think the rockets will reach an agreement with the nets. both sides want to win the trade rather than being happy with a fair deal.

    i think ron is gone for sure, even if it means moving him for a less talented player (miller). simply, anything in return is better than letting him walk. morey will get the most he can for a ron/head combo.

    Same here, think it'd be pointless of for the Roxs to keep and let him walk at the end of the season

    It's either Carter for McGrady (2010 move)

    or

    Mike Miller for Artest + Head (T-Wolves save $9 million next season).

    or carter for artest/head.

    seriously, it's hard to guess. all of these rumors can just be a smoke screen.

    i'm hoping to get surprised with caron butler or gerald wallace.
