    "Luther Head, Rockets: If not for the Rockets' persistent injuries, Head would be gone by now. He's eager to find a new team because there aren't enough minutes for him in Houston with Rafer Alston and Aaron Brooks at the point. The Nets are looking for a backup point guard, so New Jersey could be a fit." - Ken Berger

    Not that I'm knocking your thread, because it's always nice to have a source, but wasn't this kind of common knowledge? I mean, hasn't Luther even come out and said that if they don't have the minutes for him here he'd like the opportunity to go somewhere that does?

    I can't just be imagining that.

    Honestly, never heard him say or have I read that. At least it wasn't a trade TMAC thread right....

    This really isn't new information. He knows himself that he is on the block

    Hopefully we get a worthwhile 2nd rounder for him.

    Wafer has replaced Luther.

    He needs to be moved.

    He sucked it up real bad in the D-LEAGUE recently. He might be physically gifted but everyone at the D-League acknowledged that he's a basketball idiot.

    HOWEVER if it's Mac + Head for Carter + D-League Idiot, then I'll be all for it :D

    I knew his basketball IQ was negative, but man ... if he's sucking at the D-league level, then what a waste of a draft pick that was.

    Maybe Jarvis Hayes? Both contracts are about the same and Hayes' expires after this year. He is a combo wingman and can hit some threes.
