While on the subject of random things that won't happen there's: Brooks+Martin for Granger+Hibbert (could throw in Hill and salaries would still work) + Battier+Chase for Mayo+Henry Lowry/Ish/Williams Lee/Mayo Granger/Henry Scola/Patterson Hibbert/Hayes/Miller Ya, not happening.
I would like this trade! Line-up: PG: Lowry/Ish SG: Martin/Lee/T-Will SF: Wallace/Battier/Bud PF: J-Smith/Hill/Pat C: Hayes/Miller/Zaza We could still make a trade. Battier/Hill for ...
Obtaining Wallace and Josh Smith seems redundant so why not Marvin Williams instead in the following trade: http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=4odjbfe PG:Lowry/Brooks/Ish SG:Martin/Lee/T-Will SF:M-Williams/Budinger PF:J-Smith/Hill/Hayes C:Zaza/Miller/Yao
Scola + Brooks + Yao(Saves $8Mil. on Yao's insurence OR they can choose Battier+Jefferies+Hill instead of Yao) for Randolph + Mayo + Thabeet then we trade NY's 1st pick plus Yao OR Battier+Jefferies+Hill for Wallace+Mohammed Roster to push for 8th seed this year: Mohamed, Hayes, Thabeet Randolph, Patterson, Miller Wallace, Budinger K. Martin, Lee, T-Will K. Lowry, Mayo, Ish I think we can still make the playoff with this lineup and maybe even upset the #1 or #2 seed in first round.
Philly is awfully quiet. I know they're playing well and that probably has something to do with it. So maybe they're playing so well that they want an established player to help them in the playoffs? Brooks! Thaddeus Young is a beast. He's probably better as a PF than a SF (I'd be fine with trading Scola separately, having Hayes start and Young coming off the bench until next year when he'd start). They probably won't trade him, but stranger things have happened. We take Speights too, who gets little run but has some potential. We give them the awesome Hill to help ease the pain.
I like where you're going with these trades though I think they might look a little different. I'm a big fan of Mohammed as a stopgap C this year and maybe we draft a young C or trade for a younger C at draft time. I think Cha has no clue b/c Jordan is an idiot so there's a possibility. And all this talk about Memphis had me considering Randolph being added to their deal. BUT, the drug suspicions with him over the summer probably halt that idea.
I'd rather go after Jeff Green. Durant and Westbrook are running the show and will get paid. Not enough money left for Green and Harden ... Green is also a beast and could be our starting SF for years to come! He can also play PF in a smaller line-up. Trade Scola to OKC, they need a low post offensive player if they want to be contender in the West. IMO, they are already a contender but with Scola they would be a bigger contender than they already are.
What happened to Gerald Wallace? Portland deal is dead...Morey make a move!! In Wallace K. Brown Out Brooks Budinger Jeffries
It's cheap...lol that's what they want to do. I doubt THAT would get it done, but you see what I'm saying.
Well they do get rid of Wallace, add a starting pg, expiring contract and a good role player with hops like MJ.
I'm calling it... i think this happens: Memphis/ Rockets: Rockets receive: OJ Mayo and Hasheem Thabeet Memphis receives: Aaron Brooks and Shane Battier Bulls/ Rockets: Rockets receive: Omer Asik Bulls receive: Courtney Lee and Brad Miller Wolves/ Rockets: Rockets receive: Jonny Flynn Wolves receive: Jared Jeffries, (possible 2nd rd pick, with tons of protection) --------------------------------- Rockets come away with: PG: Jonny Flynn 22yrs old PG/SG: OJ Mayo 23yrs old C: Hasheem Thabeet 24yrs old C: Omer Asik 24yrs old they lose: PG:Aaron Brooks (lol) 26yr old SG: Courtney Lee 25yr old SF: Shane Battier 32 yr old PF: Jared Jeffries 30 yr old C: Brad Miller 35 yr old I put the ages to show how much younger the Rockets would get...
Wow... at first glance, i thought you said there's a G.Wallace 'trade'... last 52 mins! C'mon Rockets! Do something worthwhile!
