    I have real reservations about 'selling the farm' to get Chris Webber. I'm sure the Rockets will pursue him heavily but I'm not sure he wants to come to Houston. The player I'd really like to see come to Houston is Shawn Marion. I like his intensity, hustle, athleticism, etc. I think he'd be an excellent compliment to our backcourt.

    Yeah, he would, but the way he's played I'm sure he's absolutely untouchable unless the Suns get an unreal offer, so we don't need to plan or legitimately hope for that. I mean, Tim Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal are perfect fits too, but I don't see them coming to Houston! [​IMG]

    Yes, he would fit great, but the same goes for just about any other team in the league. The way he played this season got the rest of the NBA drooling over him. Pheonix would be crazy to let him go for the scrubs we have for trade bait(Walt, Cato, etc.)

  4. well if Hakeem somehow ended up in Los ANgeles, and the Suns traded Kobe to Phoenix for Kidd, then we could get Marion from the suns in a 3 way deal here.


    we get Marion, LA gets Hakeem and Kidd, Phoenix gets Kobe.

    now how does this sound, then we go out and sign Antonio Davis

  5. actually we may be getting the short end of the deal, I mean Kobe is going to Phoenix in this little 3 way scenario, LA gets a top 50 player and one of the best guards , we're getting a very athletical but young talent, so we may need to get a 1st rounder thrown in with Marion, oh and then we go after ANtonio Davis and resign Mo Tayler..


    buh bye Cato, Shandon, and Bullard and Wizzard........

    We would never, ever be able to trade Marion for anyone on our roster, except Francis. Nobody's going to want Hakeem more than Kobe, or Kidd. Just ain't going to happen. If he were 33... might be different.

    You said goodbye to Cato and & Wizzard. They are under contract. How do you plan to get someone to take one of the NBA's biggest busts and an old streaky 3 point shooter off of our hands. Maybe LA will take them for Shaq.
