From real GM I`m not sure but isn`t this the gentleman who was severely doggin` the Houston faithful for proposing one-sided trades ? A few excerpts from a thread there. Author NugzFan makes up a trade (den/hou/lac) NugzFan Real GM Joined: May 11, 2001 From: not colorado Posted: 2002-05-27 00:23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- im sure you were all waiting for this denver trades: mcdyess, posey for rice, odom, 8, 12 --> does denver do this? i would. we have to take rice for an extra year but to get odom, 8, and 12 to go with picks 5 and 25 is a good start to rebuilding. good cap space in 2004. houston trades: rice, 1, 15 for mcdyess, posey --> does houston do this? defintely. no doubt about it. keep griff, dump rice, get dice and posey? are you kidding me? contrary to popular belief im not a rockets fan! clippers trade: odom, 8, 12, for 1, 15 --> does la do this? maybe. depends on what they want to do with odom. i heard they offered odom/8/12 for 1 and got rejected by houston. this way they get jay williams (and 15), the pg they wanted...makes a damn good team. edit: forgot to mention i havent tried to match salaries yet. im hoping fillers could be added to make it work.

You honestly think Houston would give up the #1 pick AND #15 for Dyess and Posey? Dyess is coming off a major injury, and they can get someone potentially better than Posey with 15. Yer right. I was waiting for you to propose a trade; now I'm positive you're a complete idiot -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- profile www aim edit quote reply NugzFan Real GM Joined: May 11, 2001 From: not colorado Posted: 2002-05-27 00:36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On 2002-05-27 01:32, DrugBust wrote: Please, put down the bong before you hurt yourself.

First you say they need a PF when they have Kenny Thomas, Maurice Taylor and Collier. Next you say Dice is healthy. He's not. And to think he's better than any of the top 3 or 4 players in this draft is just rediculus. Dyess is a GOOD player. But you are (just like you always have) making him out to be a Duncan or Webber or Garnett. McDeyss isn't even in the same league. You're just in complete denial, and that's the saddest thing about all of this.
