what do you all think about this trade : Golden State Fortson 4.9m (til 06) Mills 6m (til 03) Sura 5.5m (til 04) draft picks 16.9 m + total mo taylor 7.2m (til 07) rice 8.8m (til 04) thomas 1m (til 03) collier 1.3m (til 03) 18.3m total grant 11.2m (til 07) carter 3.6m (til 04) ellis 3.3m (til 04) 18.1m total Rockets get : grant sura picks ---- 16.7 m + picks Rockets solidify the PF position with Grant defensively, and Sura can help off the bench in relief for both Mobley and Francis at PG or SG Heat get : taylor fortson mills ---- 18.1 m The Heat desperately need scoring, and that's what Taylor brings. Fortson is an undersized PF/C but has shown he can hold his own in the low post, he should be able to rebound as well as Grant. Mills also brings scoring. Mills 6 m comes off the payroll at the end of the season, same time as Zo's contract expires, so they will free up 26+ m off their payroll. Warriors get : carter rice ellis thomas collier ------ 17.7 Carter will be a good backup PG for Arenas. They also get more scoring on the outside with Rice, which they don't have right now, to compliment their big guys inside. Ellis can help teach their young forwards - Dunleavy, Murphy, etc.. how to play in the NBA. Thomas and Collier should be good off the bench, I don't think Thomas will complain as much as Fortson about playing behind Jamison. Most importantly - they lose 14m off their payroll in '04.
Golden State isnt giving much at all. Sura and Mills dont get any PT and Fortson barely plays. Thats beside the point. Im just not up for any trades. The team is fine the way it is.
that was my point sura is injured but will get little time behind richardson and arenas fortson doesn't like coming off the bench, so he never leaves the bench mills, i don't know if he even gets any minutes with murphy and dunleavy playing SF
You must be off your Rocker! If you know what I mean! Just settle down and leave the Rox alone and let them surprise you as time goes by!
I like the trade treads. It took alot of research or knowledge of the game to come up with all of that. It was alot better reading that tread than the --- why all the trade tread crying. I just cant wait for someone to propose Pippen for Stevie- that will really get people crying- gee gosh if people dont like reading trade post then why do they click on them????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Here's my list of 5 things I want to trade (OUT) now... as a Rockets fan 1 . Colin Pine (the faster he goes, the quciker we know that Yao is on his own 2. Moochie Norris. THe more he plays .........I mean dribbles in a game.......the f*** sh** we win!!! In fact in Suns game he looked even less familiar with other Rocks. 3. Colliers. With his starting, I think this is highest trade value we can ever get. One or two picks would be worthwhile to stockpile (pay off our debts!!) 4. KT. After seeing KT and MO T in the Suns game, I think in a few weeks KT will be gone. The 5th (and last would be Rudy!!), if we still dont improve after a few months of the above mentioned trades out.. I know coaches cant be traded...But if we cant improve besides the minor tweaking.........we might improve by substraction.
