Ok guys, I've been on the trade machine all day and I think I finally found one that would work.

ROCKETS GET:

LeBron James

CAVALIERS GET:

Dikembe Mutumbo
Tracy McGrady
2011 First Round Pick

Why Rockets Do It
LeBron James is one of the elite scorers of this league, and a top-flight defender. He would definitely be a great 2nd option behind Yao and could really energize the locker-room with his leadership abilities. Also, the Rockets franchise would easily become a global icon. Jersey sales would sky rocket, and ticket sales would shoot through the roof. Also, James is an expiring contract, so there is very little risk he does not work out.

Why Cavs Do It
Tracy Mcgrady is a perennial winner, and there is no denying it. The Cavaliers might be looking for a change of face, from an energetic, fast-paced team to a ball club that enjoys naps and has constant injury problems (Cavs' brass is really trying to up season ticket sales in the 60-70 age demographic). Dikembe is also a phenomenal leader and fans everywhere are begging for an Ilgauskas-Mutumbo partnership that would make up the most misspelled front court in NBA history.

Get it done, Morey.

Agreed. We should at least get Boobie Gibson, an Anderson Varajao wig and an autographed Craig Ehlo jersey or else NO DEAL!

OKC will sign him to a long term contract as soon as they can. He is the foundation of their young basketball club.

Past ridiculous trades by Morey:

Trade #1:
This guy was traded to the Spurs.

We got this starting PF in return.

Trade #2:

This guy was traded before he even played a game.

We got back the 2003-04 Defensive Player of the Year.

I understand that all of the trades that everyone is suggesting are just hypothetical, but the majority of them are way too far out there. People like Baron Davis(chucker), Monta Ellis(speed guy, can't play with Yao in half court), and other me-first players that are not winners are not the type of guys we need. Our team has a personality that is being developed more and more, and we cannot change that just because Ellis, Davis, and whoever are good players. I realize that these guys are good players, they just don't belong on our team.

We are all expecting a T-Mac trade, but suggesting people that will definitely not fit our system is just stupid. I am all for the Joe Johnson talk, people that dont have head issues and will not take away from our team. We need people that can step into our team and not break it up. We cant just trade for people because they are good. Look at the Yankees, Cowboys, Suns for examples of teams that have been struggling because they have no identity. We just need some more talented pit bulls to surround Yao, as our former Rockets Kenny Smith puts it. The Celtics built a team quick with trades, but they traded for veterans that bought into a system and played defense. Something the guys we are mentioning are not going to do.

We just need to wait it out and let Morey and our front office build the team that they think will be successful. Once again this is not NBA Live or a fantasy team, the guys have to want to play together, and we all saw that T-Mac and Ron clearly did not. Once T-Mac went down, things began to change.

Lets think more about how players fit our team before we just throw their name out there. Players are available for trades for a reason

I'm definitely not "trade proposal" guy. It's a waste of time. I honestly hate it when people suggest trades because they never happen, and all I care about are the trades and signings that my favorite sports teams do make in real life. Plus, there are a lot of noobs out there that suggest proposterous trades where they put no thought or insight into what they are proposing. It's all just dumb to begin with.

I don't think Cavs are that stupid and plus, Deke is done with his career.

If we do get Lebron James, why would he be our second option after Yao? Lebron better be our first option!

Umm... I'm pretty sure he was joking.

NBA live ftl

BasketballReasons · May 22, 2009

Well Morey does it on NBA Live.

I remember all the non believers insulting people who even dared put Ron Artest in a trade thread last season. Look what happened? We got him for an old guy and a D-league player.

Morey is such a good GM he could convince the Maloofs that James "Flight" White is the second coming.

White+Soon-to-buy 20ish pick for Sacramento's 4th Pick.

Get'r Done!

First, Baron Davis. Rumor has it that right before T-Mac announced he was having season ending surgery, the Rockets and Clippers were closing in on a T-Mac for Baron Davis trade. In fact, many speculate T-Mac knew about it and that's why he chose to announce the surgery without even consulting the Rockets. He didn't want to be a Clipper. Now, if there is truth to that - and I think there is - then why exactly do you think Baron Davis doesn't fit with our team? Apparently Daryl Morey disagrees. Forgive me if I tend to think he knows more about what our team needs than you do. Well, that and I think what this team needs above all else now is a finisher. Baron Davis is a killer when the game is on the line.

Second, Monta Ellis. He's a speed guy that can't play with Yao in the half court? What exactly is Aaron Brooks then? I mean, I don't want Ellis either - but not because of his abilities. I don't want him because I feel we have the same type player in Brooks for FAR less money.

Monta Ellis is 10x better than Brooks.

BetterThanEver · May 22, 2009

Morey uses NBA Live for scouting. Why can't he use it to make ridicculous trades too? Anybody remember this thread?

http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=154296
http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?section=magazine&id=3578407

For Rockets GM Daryl Morey, Live 09 is a scouting tool. "We already use Synergy to game-plan," he says. "Using Live may help our players visualize the data."

I demand that this thread title is changed to, "This isn't NBA 2K9".

I also demand a spell check so as you do not look like such an idiot.

Fail to meet these demands and a hostage dies.

You don't understand the reasoning behind the Luis Scola deal. Just wikipedia Luis Scola and you will understand why the deal went down.
