Could we still get Brandon Roy if we take on Miles' contract?

    Because allegedly Les is going to sell the team in the intermediate future. Or, because Les is not willing to go into luxury tax territory, and the last time we got close to the tax threshold we had to give up on good players like James Posey because we had washouts like Mo Taylor and Moochie Norris eating up Les' money.

    Where have you seen this? This would be too good to be true! I would give both teams first rounders for that deal.

    I don't believe it until a link is provided. Even if it was reported, it could just be a rumor.

    You really think Rockets are that good to make this trade? Keep dreaming Kid- Heck this would be the antidote this message board is waiting for - who knows if chicago is after Big Ben- they might have given up on tyson.

    Why would the blazers take Juwan, Luther and a 2nd round draft pick when they could have had Luther and Rudy Gay or this years number 8 first round pick?

    Load of baloney. The bulls don't need a 3, especially not an overpaid and constantly drunk one. They paid 15 million dollars to Tim Thomas to go away because he was a bad example, they're not picking up Miles. Well, not for some cap relief and a (likely) late first round draft pick from the rockets.

    Pipe dream.

    While this trade idea is completely bogus, they would be getting rid of Miles' contract. They may also want a couple veterans to pair with that extremely young group.

    You cannot seriously think Juwan Howard and A 2nd ROUNDER is going to be even talent wise to a combo of Roy and Miles.

    Ummmmm, i'm going to take a completely wild guess and say the Rockets would do this trade if this seemingly bogus rumor actually has any form of merit behind it.

    How convenient that you posted this new rumor attributed to a source without a link that exactly matches the idea you proposed to start this thread.

    Like salad... tossed.
