    just a thought, varejao with sessions as the contract?

    also, if the rockets are thinking trade, check the rosters of the kings, knicks, and grizzlies for potential targets. you will probably be on the right track.

    Set their sights lower. Jeffries for Jeff Foster. Same money, both are expiring. So the Rockets don't lose that kind of asset for the trade deadline.

    Alot of crazy trades talk. Iggy Brand sounds like the most logical in here. Camby is old and anything significant for him is robbery. Nash is old and Gortat isnt that good but its the second best I have heard.

    Demarcus Cousins probably would be the best center for this team, only problem with that is hes unobtainable. Like DD said earlier DeAndre Jordan seemed pretty good but no clue if thats a one time thing or what.

    Hopefully we can get DeAndre Jordan next year, due to the fact that he's a unrestricted free agent

    Only thing about Jordan according to rotoworld:
    He is about as inconsistent as they come. At his best he will help in rebounds, blocks, and FG%, but he is just 44% from the free throw line this year.

    He is not exactly what the doctor ordered. And I am not even sure if he is better than Hill. But he is a defensive big who can rebound and block an occasional shot. I would consider him.

    We really need an athletic BIG who rebound block shots get an occasional dunk and an alleyoop dunk. He doesn't have to be able to shoot. I just described Joey Dorsey. Ah but I left out one important condition. He can't be so stupid that he can never ever grasp Adelman's defensive schemes. Sorry Dorsey... I love you man.

    Childress and Gortat for PP, Miller, a trade exception, cash, C-bud and a lotto protected first rounder.

    Really the only negative for the suns would be to downgrade from Gortat to Miller, and they get to dump Childress' contract and get PP, C-bud, cash and lotto protected first rounder.

    Indiana is not likely to go that route,even though they need another PF next to Hibbert. JJ is a pretty good defender,but brings nothing else.

    AB bein involved in any trade not getting back elite talent is a huge setback. We currently have the best chance at beating the Lakers. Why? AARON BROOKS! You wanna trade that for a 45 yr old shotblocker? Ill pass bro. We're much better by keeping Brooks and letting him torch Derek Fisher
