    I was just wondering from all you guys go have inside info or know of any rumors of the rockets. Do you believe that a trade will go down anytime soon or am I just in LaLa land. Are there any rumors, if any. Also, does eddie have trade value left over. Any info is helpful.

    I have no Info. but after reading your topic I had a cool thought:

    Is that wild or what?

    Would you consider this a SPLASH! (In Theory)

    Houston trades: PF Eddie Griffin (8.6 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 1.1 apg in 24.5 minutes)
    Houston receives: SG DeShawn Stevenson (4.6 ppg, 1.4 rpg, 0.7 apg in 12.5 minutes)
    Change in team outlook: -4.0 ppg, -4.6 rpg, and -0.4 apg.

    Utah trades: SG DeShawn Stevenson (4.6 ppg, 1.4 rpg, 0.7 apg in 12.5 minutes)
    Utah receives: PF Eddie Griffin (8.6 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 1.1 apg in 77 games)
    Change in team outlook: +4.0 ppg, +4.6 rpg, and +0.4 apg.

    TRADE ACCEPTED

    Then trade Cat for Kurt Thomas from NY!

    God no...If anybody can make something out of Eddie Griffin, it's Jerry Sloan. The last thing Rockets fans want is the possibility of Griffin flourishing for the most hated NBA franchise ever...

    I think the "Big Splash" is tossing Amaechi into a vat of meat juices...Maybe some hungry tigers can rip those man t*** off him...

    francis for kobe. If the lakers dont play right for the first couple of months,and kobe guarantees he is leaving,then the lakers would be wise to take francis instead of nothing.

    Kobe wont go to jail. Its another Oj simpson. $$$ gets you off. I know that kobe visited china and likes the culture. He likes mobley since both are from philly.

    It would be like having the so called "next MJ" and in my book next Hakeem in ming on the same team. Imagine that. Mj and Hakeem at ages 25/23 on the same team. I think also that having empty seats in Toyota Center and knowing that Kobe would SELLOUT every game the entire year would bring Les millions. I think if Kobe does leave he will be a rocket. I know he likes Ming and Mobley although the lakers would get offers from every team,being that Kobe is a FA Im sure he can nullify any deal basically demanding which team he wants to be traded to in a threat.

    ** hmmmm in the Eddie situation, AS MUCH AS I HATE EDDIE, i say just leave it alone let it cool down, sign him to the extention and hope he plays his ass off. Who knows maybe this will help him in his game cuz it sure cant hurt it. That and i dont think any team wants Eddie right now the situation he is in. **

    If Yao Ming slips and falls in the shower!

    I take that back, I don't want to even think such a thing.

    A Train, you really crossed the boundry of good taste with the "meat juice and man t***" comment. TOO GROSS!

    Let's see what happens to the team throughout the season. If we run into problems then I would look for some moves around the trading deadline.

    We still have the Trade Exception which is worth a lot and it does not expire until the end of NEXT summer so we still have time to make some moves.

    I feel like JVG would like to see how THIS team works with Yao and Steve this season before making any judgements on who should be moved and for whom.
