    If they wait next year they don't get McGrady's contract. They are stuck with VC for another 2 years or something like that.

    VC is not good performed tonight, 7-21

    Morey, please dont bring VC to Houston. If the trade done, where are our benches? This is not a sensable trade. Id rather we have no trades before the deadline

    deal of century for Rockets and everyone should be happy

    http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ccutvq

    Nets get: Head, Alston, Hayes, Landry
    Clippers get: Mcgrady
    Rockets get: Boone, Carter, Baron Davis, Kaman

    our lineup now

    B Diddy, Brooks
    Vince, Wafer, Barry
    Shane, Ron,
    Scola, Boone
    Yao, Kaman


    Now if we let Ron walk at the end of the season we will still compete

    I'd hate to see Artest traded...We'd miss out on more brilliant quotes like this.

    true, but then their roster would be whack in the meantime.
    I think their fans would freak

    and nets are about to give away vince also remember? they can't afford vince anymore...they are even saying a deal like stackhouse and dampier for him..my package is better than that i think

    I hear what you are saying, but I think they would need to bring in a bigger name from us like Artest or Battier.

    I don't believe they will make that deal with Dallas, for the same reasons.

    I would be all for that deal with the Clips though.

    dude

    agreed, I would be pissed, but I don't think Thorn will do that.

    i was just making sure. i am not here to piss anyone off. If you have a player on your payroll making x amount of money and the fans aren't coming to watch the team then it makes it hard to pay the man

    I just think he would have to have more of a named player or a young player that is projected to have a bigger upside than Landry. But you never know?
