I now know that Ming will be a Rocket and I hope it works and he becomes the next big thing. But I still have some concern that he might be a bust. Although it's too late here is the best trade I could think of that would have helped both teams, and work cap wise. Houston trades: 1st pick Maurice Taylor Glen Rice Chicago trades: Eddie Curry Jalen Rose For us the obvious benifit is Rose, a great all around player who can start for us at the 3. I think him Francis and Mobley can all feed off each other and be the most feared threesome in the leauge. Curry gives us a true center who you now can bang with the biggest of centers (Shaq of course). Also he has a outside shoot unlike Shaq. For the Bulls they get the first two picks which will be Ming and Williams. Those guys along with Chanler, Fizer, Taylor, and Rice make a formadable team. Everyone is happy and everyone wins. This should happen but won't.
If Rudy would have done this he should have been fired and hanged publicly. That is giving up WAY too much value to get a 30 year old SF and a center that most fans haven't ever heard of.
That 30 year old SF is one of the top 15 players in the leauge. He was able to post 25 points on a nightly basis with the Bulls. ANd the center no one's heard about has the potential to be great.
That 30 year old SF has what...maybe 3 or 4 years left in the league? If he's REALLY lucky and doesn't get hurt. As for the center...as Yogi says...potential means you ain't done it yet.
