    Yes, under all circumstances G. Wallace is 10x better than Ariza. G. Wallace's defense is better, he is a better rebounder, and he is a WAY more efficient scorer. I would be pleased if we got GW. I also like Caron Butler, Chris Bosh, Iggy, and Dalembert. Lots of options, I'm excited to see what DM does.

    SJC, sounds feasible.... lol.


    Gerald Wallace only fits here if we get rid of Ariza. I call BS on all this stench.

    Can you at least tell us what positions the players play that we are "getting?"

    I like the McGrady for Caron Butler + fillers, or Iggy and Dalembert trade. Then trading Ariza or Battier, Scola, and Brian Cook to Toronto. I trust that DM will do the trade that is best for the team, whether it is the blockbuster I'm hoping for or not.

    hey guys first post

    i think the sig of his is a definate clue, "the houston cavemen"????

    i mean,that makes no sense at all, but given his trade maybe since he bolded the cavemen it means something. the first thing that went through my head was Roy and Oden, and also AL jefferson and also prince,. And sure enough he posts a pic of prince.

    also, after he posted the pic, everyone was raggin on prince and saying "please dont be prince" and he says we are to hard on him. so maybe he actually is old school and thinks prince is better than wallace. he would be wrong wallace>>>>>>>>prince

    also there is no way in hell cats are trading wallace..my god,they are having a franchise season and if they traded wallace it would be suicide for years

    so unfortuntely it must be prince as the team "we havent talked about" ..and the other is either philly,toronto,washington,sacramento

    and he says "players we get" meaning its prince + another stud

    and he says we lose tmac + "players he wouldnt want to give up" meaning something good like brooks,landry,scola,battier

    i know battier is from detroit. i KNOW tmac loves detroit and wanted to go there 2 years ago

    if we are getting prince, then that means either ariza or budinger or battier is gone. and since he plurals "players leaving" it means we lose tmac+(scola or landry) + (battier or ariza or bud)

    prince just isnt a 2 sg. he just isnt. i know sf and sg can be interchangeble, like ariza can go sg or sf but prince CANT..he is a a really lanky slow sg.

    i sure hope the OP doesnt think prince is " a legit sg"..wow would he be wrong about that

    if im wrong and it is the cats, then expect to get chandler and wallace..but there is NOT 1 rumor about the cats wanting to blow up things

    lets see, if we lose scola and landry that means we get a pf back. now, if you are the OP and you think prince is better than wallace, then most likely you are targeting veterans or someone of good value. i wouldnt be surprised if the OP thinks Brand is a good player.someone posted bosh/iggy/rondo and the OP left a "eek!" symbol meaning no way in hell. for some reason he doesnt like iggy or bosh which means he likes veterans and not players that are athletic freaks. he probably is the type of fan that would choose battier over wallace even though wallace is alot better for many reasons.

    so we are getting prince + 1 of (brand,kenny thomas,dalembert,brad miller)

    this happens all the time, fans post fake rumors, or stupid trade proposals.

    in reality les will not pay lux tax unless its for just a handful of players (cp3,bosh,kobe,lebron,dirk,) and thats all. teams arent going to trade gerald wallace for ariza. teams arent going to trade noah for tmac and teams areing going to trade ben gordan for battier

    i think the reason he wont post it is because he is scared of it being shot down by some of us that know basketball !

    Grizzly Adams had a beard. (so does Baron Davis)

    think you might be onto something with the sig thing. I like the crypticness of all this. most likely nothing, but it's fun.

    I don't think the old Baron Davis and Camby deal is necessarily a good one for Houston, but Baron could fit the former all star who still has some miles left that Morey mentions. Maybe the Clippers have decided to throw in the towel this year now that Griffin is done???

    (doesn't Kaman have a beard too???) I really hope this isn't where Morey is taking us...

    Well Rip does fill the "legit 2 guard" reference the OP made. And a team consisting of the current team + Rip + Yao might just be good enough to win a championship as the pieces fit each other so well.

    Why is everyone hatin on Ariza??
    Did yall expect him to go out and putt up 25 plus points per game or something? Personally I think he has done pretty good considering this is his first year that anyone had ANY expectations for him! Sure he's not an elite scorer but he never will be! He is supposed to be a 3rd or 4th leading scorer on his team! Therefor if we can get Yao back and somehow get Bosh and/or Iggy/Caron butler/Gareld Wallace, Ariza could play the role he's meant for!

    Almost all rumors on posted on this board turn out to ultimately be false. A notable exception was Yao's season-ending injury in the midst of our 22 game win streak. But unless you state the goods, I just don't buy it.
