    why are people talking about getting into a good position in the draft next year when Sacramento has our draft pick due to the Ron Artest trade.

    Call an end to the Yao/TMac era and build around the young core.

    If Gortat has better offers elsewhere as it's claimed I don't think he's coming to Houston...


    Fernandez, Prigioni, Mills
    Ariza, Barry, Mobley
    Battier, Harrington, Budinger
    Scola, Landry
    D.Andersen, Freeland, Yao

    Brooks + rights to Taylor & Eliyahu for Fernandez + rights to Freeland & Mills
    *This trade doesn't negatively effect Blazer's cap space as they're pursuing Hedo. It helps create more without losing assets for nothing.

    McGrady + Hayes for Mobley + Harrington

    Lowry + Cook + Dorsey for D.Andersen (Atlanta Hawks, July 15 deadline)

    sign Pablo Prigioni

    1) Let Artest walk.

    2) Trade McGrady, Aaron Brooks, and Carl Landry to Phoenix for Steve Nash and Jason Richardson (yes, this trade works). It's no secret The Sun's are looking to unload. You have to give something to get something.

    3) Use the money saved from not re-signing Artest and Wafer + Yao's injury exception to sign David Lee (5 years, 63 Million)

    4) Sign Unrestricted Free Agents Keith Bogans and Jamaal Magloire.


    C-Hayes/Magloire
    PF-Lee/Scola/Hayes
    SF-Battier/Bogans
    SG-Richardson/Bogans/Barry
    PG-Nash/Lowry

    You're right.We don't. I thought we didn't but then when everyone started talking about it,I thought we did have one.
    That means we are worse off then ever before.

    TMAC for Camby Davis

    Sign Ariza

    Trade brooks for Fernandez

    Camby
    Scola
    Ariza
    Fernandez
    Davis

    6th man: Battier

    or

    TMAC Scola for Hamilton Prince Maxiell

    we would at least have to give them scola to pair with oberto to get this trade done... and i would still do it

    sign gortat

    Gortat
    Maxiell
    Prince
    Hamilton
    Brooks

    Let's hope Morey keeps the team that performed well in the playoffs mostly intact and works some magic with McGrady's contract and other teams' payroll problems to add a young scorer to the team. He's going to have to do something about the center situation, and going the free agent route is wise so he can save the Rockets' resources to get a diamond in the rough to replace McGrady. So hope to get Gortat, package some point guard and power forward depth with McGrady for some firepower and see where that gets us. Maybe one of these rookies will pan out, too. If that happens, the Rockets can be damn good next year.

    We only gave our 2009 1st round pick and our 2008 1st round pick (or Donte Green). We still have our pick next year for Willie Warren/Evan Turner.

    If I am Morey,I will

    1.waiting for mcgrady's contract expired
    2.rest Yao for the whole season
    3.don't offer Ron(thx for his Rox day,but it's time to say goodbye)
    4.use the MLE to sign Gortat

    then,in 2010-11,we can

    1.use our cap space to catch a big fish in 2010 free agent market
    2.hope a healthy Yao come back
    3.2009-10 season will be a predictable darktime for us since we lost our big3.but in bright side,that will give us a good 1st round pick and our young players will get more minutes to help them make progress quickly.
    4.Gortat will be a solid backup for Yao

    in 2010-11,we back to be a contender again.

    i say wait on yao's foot.
    if hes out for season then unload and rebuild.
    if he can come back in season then resign artest
    wait for mac and give this team one more shot.

    I say we just blow this team up. Do what we can to get Gortat and then see if we can somehow pick up Chris Bosh. Whether it be by trading Yao or Tmac I say we go after him. Then see if we can lure a guy like chris paul or Durant for either Yao or Tmac as well. Each one of those superstars should be able to land us another two studs that could really send us to the promise land. Just imagine a starting lineup of....

    c-Gortat
    f-Bosh
    f-battier
    g-wafer
    g-paul

    or
    c-Gortat
    f-Bosh
    f-battier
    g-Kevin Durant
    g-brooks

    Any one of those two lineups could seriously set us up for a very bright future and potentially even now....

    If we are rebuilding, there is no reason to trade Brooks and Landry. They are young/cheap talent.
