    Would you do.....

    Ariza
    Jeffries
    Taylor
    Chase
    Andersen

    for

    Monta
    Randolph
    Morrow
    and #6?

    Then

    #14 and #6 to Sacramento for #5?



    Brooks/Lowry
    Martin/Monta (sheesh, lotta dough at the 2)
    Shane/Morrow/Anthony Randolph
    Yao/Cousins/Chuckie
    Scola/Hill/Randolph

    If Bosh wanted to come here.......

    give Toronto their pick of Cousins or Hill, Monta, and a future first rounder. They can then flip Turkoglu to Sacramento for expirings or send him to someone else wanting a playmaker for expirings and they've got Monta as their shooting guard.

    Brooks/Lowry
    Martin/Morrow
    Shane/Morrow/Randolph
    Yao/Bosh/Chuckie
    Bosh/Scola/Randolph/Hill

    no way...zoubek is a stiff, the guy got punked by smaller players and he hardly a shot blocker....aldrich isn't oljuwon, but he's more than capable of defending and shot blocking. You know what youre getting there and he can only improve from there, with zoubek, he may stay a stiff.

    Morrow would be great as a Taylor replacement. That would be great insurance for Martin.


    Brooks/Lowry
    Martin/Morrow
    Ariza/Battier-Bud
    Scola/Hill/Hayes
    Yao/rookie/jeffries

    not bad...would like better center back ups, but we'd be more than solid at every other position and their back up...

    There's a massive amount of misdirection going on right now. Within last hour I've heard NJ targeting Johnson, Favors, Cousins and Monroe

    What riley has in his pockets is something no one in houston can sell. He has a superstar that has recently won a title and he's selling the 80's showtime lakers when guys took less to win rings. Not only that, miami is a great place to hang being young and rich. They're going to get amare and someone else and also get guys to take less and win wings to cement their legacy. dont forget the ability to absorb a contract.

    Monroe slips to 7?

    SpearsNBAYahoo
    Baylor F-C Ekpe Udoh is now frontrunner for the Warriors 6th pick, NBA source tells Y! Sports. Monroe and Aminu still getting consideration.

    Hearing more and more that Ekpe Udoh is going 6th to GS. No final decision there but they seem to be leaning that way. Screws everything up

    Cousins = Stanly Roberts whom in college was BETTER than Shaq; BUT the NBA was not that nice to him. I recall him giving Dream fits in the early 90's; BUT He would NEVER play that way against anyone else. With the 4th pick in the draft I would take Wes Johnson.

    Imagine if the draft goes:

    Wall
    Turner
    Cousins
    Rockets pick.

    Morey would QQ.

    OKC likes Cole Aldrich apparently if they trade up to 10. Udoh would also be in the mix. Indiana would probably take Eric Bledsoe at 18.

    damn, Sam Presti is doing an amazing job. First, he rips off the Heat and gets the 18th pick from them. Now he's gonna trade the 18th, 21st, and an average PG in Eric Maynor for the #10 pick. :eek:

    Why are the Warriors even considering Udoh over Monroe? Doesn't make sense at all.

    Makes a really good defensive team even better...kind of scary, since they are in our conference...

    Stanley Roberts, and let's all thank the high heavens, the Rockets decided not to trade Dream for him. That would have been nothing short of a disaster. Yes it was seriously considered.

    Hopefully Morey is working something up

    This is a speculated trade or a done deal (to move to #10)?
