    No more cryptic...I'm getting so tired of the 1, 15, Mo, KT, Eddie, Dream, Ralph, Moses, and Calvin for Garnett trade threads. I have not told Clutch that I'm writing this but here we go.

    It's done, boys. Ming's a Rocket! The actual finalities of the contract 'desires' have not been completed but it's close. I can tell you this, this info is as solid as humanly possible I can promise you that. Clutch knows who the sources are and confirm it. I've never really come out and spoke like this but I just want everyone to know so maybe we can focus on the 15th. The 38th, if it falls correctly, will make the team. I can't say who they're looking at right now...it's not my place. However, if I worked for the Rockets, I'd trade it for a proven player!

    Here's a quote - 'If they offer us the world, we may consider it.' He said consider, not take - consider!

    Here's what I know for sure and Clutch knows who this is from as well, Ming is a Rocket - done!

    Any ideas for 15?

    I can say this - Odom, as much as I never believed it, is STILL under consideration. I don't know what moves exactly are going to be made as of yet. I have been given some wishes that may work out but I can't reveal those simply because so many media people get their info here it could ACTUALLY hurt 'the cause!' But, I can say that Odom is being seriously looked at and they have a wish list baby!!! I'm not saying I agree with Lamar, but it's true. As for Troy's post, I can't find the truth out there. Not saying it's not true, I just can't confirm it anywhere other than a few small items that are similar... but it's not nearly enough to give a confirmation.

    Granted, this could all blow up as usual...it has before!

    Done for now...

    It would be nice if somehow Woods or Butler could fall to the #15 spot.

    So here's to taking the best talent on the board, and lets hope Tmo has improved his game!

    Lemme see if I understand this. Ming's a Rocket unless somebody offers the world! Hello KG and Duncan!!!! :p

    Thanks for the info Doc. Now we get all the scenerios possible with the 15, KT, Moochie, Collier, et al for Odom. *yawns* Awesome news about Yao. I can't wait to see the big guy in the middle. Now to get some defense in the backcourt and the 3 spot.

    Butler won't drop to 6 let alone 15. Woods may drop with a bulked up Jeffries and more interst in Stoudamire. We Woods, Tsika or Jeffries fall :) If not there's always Botjan.

    Doc,
    I know you have been legit for all your posts, but this does not mesh with what I am hearing????

    We shall see.

    Either way, it is a win for the ROX.

    I'm still wondering what is up with Francis. I'd like to hear from him that Ming is cool before I go all out on this. If we get one player but lose another, that doesn't seem very helpful.

    We'll see...

    YESsss.....Thanks, Doc!


    Poster boville (from Spain) correctly called Pau Gasol as the real deal last summer. He also says Nachbar is the real deal this year. Boville's word is gold with me...Nachbar at 15.

    I agree Jeff, the rockets would be worse next season - and we might be lottery bound for years. The Western Conference is way to strong, to trade the Franchise. What was our record without him? Will Ming take up the slack, or turn into a taller Wang?

    So...Who are we trading Ming for?

    #15-The new and improved Jeffries sounds awesome.

    everything ive read, ive come to this conclusion. im very happy its been "confirmed" but i think im more happy that all the ludicrous trade proposal threads might stop now.
    thanks doc.
    i hate rabbits.

    Yeah I agree, Nachbar is the guy I want the Rockets to take at 15.
