    The clippers want to resign Odom(so I heard). What better way to keep Odom,than to trade for his bud Mobley.

    1.How bout mobley straight up for a resigned Miller? Would this work? I would even include Griffin and I'll tell you way because of #2:

    2.Signing Brand to the MLE. I know it sounds nuts,but Brand has got to be thinking long term. He sees a 22 yr Ming,26 yr Francis,26 yr Miller,and he would be the FINAL rebuilding piece to win the championship.(my goal is rings,not just 1st round and out)

    Falk,Brands agent,can trust Cd because we paid off on Taylor. Brand can take th MLE now,and then next year(summer 04') sign a max contract because Rice would be gone.'

    THIS is the REASON why I dont want the rockets to get desperate and trade rice now for a old vet like Glenn Robinson.

    This leaves us with a lineup of Miller,Francis,Boki/Morris,Brand,Ming. yippee!!!!!

    All this talk about multi trades,and east team this and that is kinda stupid. We only need to make one trade(miller) and a wink wink deal(brand) and we are ALL SET.

    Tell me your thoughts. I really want to hear from Doc on this one.

    way=why need to edit.

    I forgot about posey to.WE can resign him since we own his bird rights.

    miller
    francis
    posey
    brand
    ming

    Good god.I know the backcourt is kinda small,but so what when you have the two best shotblockers in nba in ming/brand to back them up.

    The way I look at it is this:
    miller=cassell/smith
    francis=drexler
    posey=elie
    brand=thorpe
    ming=hakeem

    and for all you posters who think ming is not even close to hakeem,then that just proves we NEED more firepower(3rd allstar) to compensate to ever have a chance for a ring.

    You can't sign Brand to the MLE as he is a RFA and the Clips would gladly match. Good idea though.

    Can you tell me where you got your info,so I can double check?

    Your right. So much for my idea. I should have checked with realgm first. I could have sworn I heard somewhere(radio?) that all but Odom can walk. Oh well. Look this thread because this idea aint happening.:eek:
