    PG: Rafer Alston | Steve Francis | Aaron Brooks
    SG: Tracy McGrady | Ron Artest | Luther Head
    SF: Shane Battier | Brent Barry | Donte Greene | Steve Novak | Marty Luneun
    PF: Luis Scola | Carl Landry | Mike Harris | Chuck Hayes
    CN: Yao Ming | Joey Dorsey | Deke

    Just one trade Hayes/Novak/Head to get a quality PF/C and/or PG, then we are set....

    I doubt it. BJ was a huge portion of our expiring deals. AI contract is 20 mil a year. How do you expect to come up with that now?

    Battier+Alston+Head+Francis+Novak is enough to make the deal.

    That is a lot of players man. They would have to cut a couple of them.

    unlikely, because greene was apart of the artest trade. i could see leunon being cut. artest will not play SG..he'll be at SF, PF. dorsey can't play center (too short).. i could see hayes being out, possibly even harris. harris in my opinion is a SF, i hear they are working on his shot.

    Done Greene plus one or two more unknown players are allegedly part of the Artest trade.

    Maarty Leunen is supposedly heading overseas.

    Alston, Brooks, Francis
    McGrady, Barry, Head
    Artest, Battier, Harris
    Scola, Landry, Dorsey
    Yao, Hayes, Deke

    Where did you see possibly two more unknowns? I've only seen one reported, with is probably Greene
