    Sure... tie his ass up, gag him, put a bag over his head, and take him to a local pawn shop. The going rate for Nigerian centers from Lagos isn't that great right now, but in the words of Homer Simpson, "Eh, what're ya gonna do?"

    "No Brain Grant, no trade." -- Typos are a b**** as ZRB is holding Rocket trades hostage while he seeks a brain. Conspiracy theorists say this would explain why Hakeem has yet to be traded...

    Sell his contract for cash?

    Never thought of that angle, but salary cap rules would still be in force to determine the validity of the transaction.

    I think a player could be traded for cash assuming the other team has the salary cap space.

    So could we trade Hakeem for Reef and Cash?

    or rather more real
    Reef --> Rockets
    Reeves --> Chicago
    Hakeem --- Vancouver
    Chicago Cash ---> Vancouver

    Not say it would happen but *is* it possible

    I think that the team he would be traded to would have to have the cap space available in order to take on his contract. The only team with cap space is Chicago.

    We could only do that if we traded him to a team with a LOT of cap room.
