    To all you insiders and connected people with sources, it's almost time to lay down your cards and I want to see 'em. No more hiding behind all those pitifully weak, namby-pamby excuses of the past like protecting sources, vows of confidentiality, and protecting the team's long term interests. I'll be sitting in front of my monitor, sipping my favorite Mexican beer, waiting for all the rumors you guys have kept to yourselves all summer. Don't disappoint me.

    I never wanted to hurt NBATalk.com, but I'm throwing caution to the wind...

    It looks like one of the FAs (Hill, Duncan,
    McGrady or Jones) could end up in Orlando.

    i dont have insiders, but i am a profit. so here are my revelations:

    #1 duncan signs with orlando
    #2 grant hill signs with orlando
    #3 mcgrady signs with bulls
    #4 there will be a deal sending eddie jones to miami the rest is not clear yet.
    #5 austin croshere, jalen rose, reggie miller all resign with pacers
    #6 mark jackson signs with toronto
    #7 rashard lewis signs with houston (someway some form)
    #8 derek anderson signs with the spurs.
    #9 brian grant is traded to new york for john wallace and kurt thomas (the main principals)
    #10 bryce drew is traded for a future draft pick
    #11 rik smits retires
    #12 cuttino mobley resigns with houston
    #13 there is also another deal on the table for houston, it would clear up alot of cap space, my mind is getting foggy again.

    ------------------
    johnny "red" kerr:i'm glad the bulls did'nt draft steve francis.

    dan roan: why!!!!!

    johnny red kerr:because he would forever be compared to michael jordan.

    I'm very much hoping that we soon hear some insight from Doc Rocket about discussions and movements (especially any that may concern our draft picks!).

    Maybe Doc should have his own thread in the BBS: "Doc Rocket sez...".

    Hey Brahma, how can the Knicks trade John Wallace to the Blazers when he is not even on their team anymore? He was traded with Donnell Harvey to the Mavericks for Erick Strickland and Pete Mickael.

    I think you mean Dos Equis Amber, a fine brew, and also my favorite.

    Forget the green bottle, give me the brown.

    My sources assure me that late last night Rudy got drunk, and proclaiming that they were the real reason we won those titles, traded Francis and Dream for Pete Chilcut and Chucky Brown! You heard it here first!

    grummett --

    Wish I had something to pass along, other than the Croshere talk I had been hearing some time ago. It's real quiet right now but if I hear something I will definitely pass it along.

    I do know Mobley's situation has caused more concern than some may think... apparently "outside forces" and possibly some teams are telling him to get out of Houston, that he'll never be a star playing alongside Francis and behind Shandon, etc.

    Clutch-can you divulge on the huge Mobley rumor from the chat? Is bskball's story correct?

    Trade or bench Kenny Thomas.

    Don't know really on that just know what I've heard as of about a week or two ago: Mobley by no means is a done deal. In fact there is/was some concern...
