    i have found myself wondering the same thing. Maybe something is already done? Or maybe the talks have died?

    I would choose the latter

    Yeah, I think the Othella trade to NY was a bad thing.

    Fingers crossed though!

    I agree as well. It seems as though if the trade had fallen through, Doc Rocket would have been able to inform everyone somehow, if not directly.

    On the other hand, if the trade talks are getting serious, and part of this deal relies on secrecy so as not to stir up trouble, then silence is an excellent sign, I applaud Doc Rocket for observing it.

    It sorta feels like that split-second right before some sneezes when you're not sure if you really are going to sneeze or not. Sneeze Rockets! Sneeze!

    Hopefully the Rockets will pull off a trade. The team is painful to watch. Hakeem is clearly a distraction and I suspect he won't play hard for a team from which he has distanced himself; he doesn't want to sustain an injury, wear down, and his heart just isn't here. I also believe whatever we are arranging must occur before we can wave him good-bye. Like everyone, the initial excitement has worn off, but I wonder what's going on, and if anything will go down.

    I tend to agree with Thanos, too: calm before the storm. But how severe will the storm be?

    I hope Cato mends well and quickly.

    Achebe, are you privy to something? Just teasing?

    I'm watching the Grizzlies-Bulls now. The Bulls announcers haven't said the word "trade" yet about anyone.

    Man, for all their talent, the Grizz can't win (they'll probably beat the Bulls; that should be a given in life).

    I want to see if Shareef is worth our hype or if Swift plays at all (or is kept out pending a trade to Houston...?)

    I know nothing. Just ask my wife.

    ba-dom-dom.

    The news conference was just about their owner's options (leaving, asking for money, etc.).
