F.A.-Bo Outlaw (middle class exception) Draftee-Mike Miller Via Trade-'Kandi Man (Drew, Thomas, 4.5 exception) ------------------ Get your proper swirve on...visit www.swirve.com (coming in late May, for now visit www.eesite.com)
FA-Tim Duncan Draft-Kenyon Martin Trade-Cato to the Clippers for Lamar Odom, plus their first rounder Wait, you mean I have to be realistic? FA-Rashard Lewis (assuming we resign Mobley) Draft-Olumide Oyededji Trade-My wonderful Vancouver scenario, where we obtain Bryant Reeves and Shareef Abdur Rahim for Olajuwon, Williams, KT, and Drew ------------------ Rockets fans wanted at hoopsboards.com Draft Chat, NBA Chat, Team Chat, and more!
fa-Corliss Williamson draft-Chris Mihm trade-Drew,K. Thomas for Mo Taylor also making sure that Mobley stays and Cato improves the line-up would be: pg- Francis/Norris sg- Anderson/Mobley pf- Taylor/Rodgers/draft or fa or trade ?? sf- Williamson/Williams/Bullard c- Cato/Mihms this team looks resonable. The only question I see is having a high enough pick for Mihms. ------------------ the Heat suck!!
Draft: Kenyon Martin FA: See Below VIA TRADE: Drew w/ Williams and 4.5 Million to Toronto for sign and trade Tracy McGrady. Final Starters: C: Cato PF: Martin SF: McGrady SG: Anderson PG: Francis
Free Agent: NO NOTEWORTY ADDITIONS Draft: Morris Peterson Trade: Cato+Drew+trade exception+2 measly future 1st rounders => Tim Duncan. ------------------ $42million. 7 years.
FA - Tim Thomas Draft - Darius Miles Trade - Walt, Rogers, + $4.5 for Lewis and second round pick (Muoneke) pg-Francis/Moochie sg-Anderson/Cat sf-Lewis/Miles/Muoneke pf-TThomas/KThomas/Bullard c-Cato/Dream ------------------
Free agent - Brian Grant Draftee - Marcus Fizer Trade - Well, how about a realistic trade here? Since we got Grant and Fizer in my hypothetical previous picks, how about we trade Drew and Cato for a SF, such as Ced Ceballos? ------------------ HOOP-T Hey Shaq, Acme called, and they want their bricks back!
I say "NO!" to all trades involving dream. It's clear and it's simple. The reason I stick to this, is that he's a franchise player who's name is synonymous with "Rockets." Keep him here for his final season. As well, don't you want to give Steve the impression that we treat our Superstars right, and only Crybabies who want to leave get the boot? I think that's more important than pickin' up Bryant Reeves. Although, I really do like the idea of Shareef as a Rocket. Maybe as a FA-- Elie17 ------------------
Free Agent: Danny Fortson Draftee: Kenyon Martin (wishful thinking) Dermarr Johnson (more realistic) Sign-and-Trade: KT/Drew/$4.5 mil for Tim Thomas OR Drew/$4.5 mil for Rashard Lewis LINEUP: Francis/Norris Anderson/Mobley Williams/Johnson T.Thomas/Fortson/Bullard Cato/Olajuwon/Rogers OR Francis/Norris Anderson/Mobley Lewis/Williams Martin/K.Thomas/Bullard Cato/Olajuwon/Rogers ------------------
Free Agent: Lewis, Cat, Moochie Draft: Miles Trade:To get Miles Rocks trade first and second picks to move up and get him ------------------ THE DEAN HAS WRITTEN [This message has been edited by DEANBCURTIS (edited April 24, 2000).]
FA - Mobes, Mooch Draft - see below Trade - Cato, Drew, some combination of draft picks, trade exception, bag of airline peanuts, some genuine Rudy T neckties (does he still have that line?), a 20' tall cardboard cutout of Larry "Mr Mean" Smith to put in the locker room to motivate the "softies", a few boxes filled with the "1995 Western Conference Champions" T-Shirts that they never got to wear (just to make 'em feel special) - to SA for Tim Duncan ------------------ rimbaud post-a-thon 2000
draft - Darius Miles trade - Drew for Jason Collier FA - Adonal Foyle or maybe Austin Crosere, tough decision ------------------
draft, fa and trade: get someone that can rebound the ball for the guards. and remember: If you've got a theme stick with it. To get a prototypical 4 or 5 will turn us into the Denver Nuggets. ------------------
Trade- Glen Robinson and Earvin Johnson for Cato, Williams, Drew and Thomas Draft- Etan Thomas who we can get at our current lottery position FA- Sign Mobley and save the money or sign an average center C- Johnson/Olajuwon Pf- Etan Thomas/Massenburg Sf- Robinson/Bullard Sg- Anderson/Mobley Pg- Francis/Norris Thats an ass kicking team Note: I read in one basketball site that the Bucks might look to move Robinson for a decent center and a couple of first rounders because they need an inside presence and Tim Thomas might want to start. Houston can pull this deal. or Buy out Olajuwon contract and do a sign and trade for Duncan. Sign/Trade- Duncan for Cato, Drew, Thomas, Orlando and Detroit pick, Williams and cash Draft- J. Pryzabilla if he's not available draft Etan Thomas and move Duncan at C C- Pryzabilla/Pig Pf- Duncan/Massenburg Sf- Rogers/Bullard Sg- Anderson/Mobley- Pg- Francis/Bullard or Duncan/Pig E. Thomas/T.Mass Sf- Roders/Bullard Sg- Anderson/Mobley- Pg- Francis/Bullard Which of the three is better ------------------

!!!!! ????!!!!???? <font face = "Arial">If you have a hard time picking between Adonal Foyle and Austin Croshere (assuming both are available) then you obviously havent seen them both play! Croshere is a do it all type of forward, who can shoot, drive, and postup (none of these aspects great, but all atleast average). He's second on Indiana's priority list behind Rose (ahead of Miller, trust me). Foyle? I think the word chump will explain it.</font> ------------------ $42million. 7 years.

Draft: If we can't get Demarr or Miller and don't think Moiso is worthy (Mo Pete is too much like SA) trade our #1 pick for a sure fire lottery pick next year (for GS or Wash's pick). FA-Middle class: I would prefer B. Grant, Lewis, T. Thomas or Croshere, realistically, probably the best we can do is Brad Miller, Trent, Forston, K. Thomas or Outlaw FA-Other (maybe): Foyle, MacCulloch Trade: Drew + Cato for Kandi or 4.5 exemption + Drew + KT for Grant or Mo Taylor Preferred (realistic) line-up with Kandi and Demarr (more developmental team): C-Hak/Kandi/MacCoullach PF-KT/Forston/Los SF-Walt/Demarr/SA(going small and quick) SG-SA/Mobley/ PG-Francis/Norris Preferred (realistic) line-up with vet PF (win sooner team): C-Hak/Cato/B. Miller PF-Grant or Taylor, B. Miller, Los SF-M. Miller/Walt/Los (go big) SG-SA/Mobley PG-Francis/Norris ------------------
Free agent: Lewis; I'd much rather have him than Mobley (who I'd like to resign however) Via draft: Realistically, Mo Pete or Darius Miles (drafting Turkcan over Lewis? *groan*) Via trade: Dream scenario is Odom & change for Williams, Drew and Cato (Kandi would be change imo, I just don't see that much talent there) ------------------
