This rumor was mentioned on 610 several minutes ago, possibly it has already come very close to the real. As Adam Wexler described, this trade involves 3 teams in Rockets, Suns and the Blazers. For the Rockets part, we give up T-Mac, Landry and Shane for Amare and J-Rich. I think it would be a great trade for the Rockets team, especially because yao will miss next entire season and won't have so many more years to play in the league.
If they do that then they will have 12 or 13 mil in guaranteed contracts. They could sign Two max contracts.
Amar'e/Dorsey/(Yao) Scola/Hayes Ariza/Budinger J-Rich/Taylor Brooks/Lowry Morey's master plan? That lineup doesn't look bad at all.
Ok, to clarify, THIS IS NOT A RUMOR, since people seem to not be reading the first few posts. I made up this trade and sent it to Adam via email and he discussed it over the air. AGAIN, NOT A RUMOR. I just asked him for his opinions from all sides.
THERE IS NO WAY THIS IS TRUE!!!! I WOULD LOVE LOVE LOVE TO BE WRONG!!!! IM NOW MAD FOR YOU EVEN BRINGING THIS **** UP. WE ARE GONNA SUCK NEXT YEAR
Yeah Amare and Rich are both overpaid and their contract will possibly last longer than T-Mac's garbage contract (Rich has 2 years remaining while Amare has player option next summer, say both of them are able to earn their salaries from Rockets in 10-11 season if they want.) In the package we would send to Suns, only Battier's contract lasts till the post 10 era and Shane is not even close to overpayment. But such a deal may keep our team a contender next season, otherwise I don't see any chance the decapitated rockets creep to playoffs next season.
G'dmn it!!! will people stop texting in trade scenarios to the radio stations??? that shiznit causes me alot of stress
IM WATCHING ESPN AS I SPEAK.....AND I SEE NOTHING ABOUT THIS....Not sure about Jrich but love the amare part
