The free agent class of 2003 is full of great players. If the rockets want to win the championship they need to sign one or two MAX FA out of this class. But they can't because Cato and Rice's contract extend through 2003, and francis will get the max. So I came up with this idea (Probably won't happen though). Houston trades: Walt Williams $5,000,000 to Portland Houston trades: Glen Rice $8,800,000 to Portland Houston trades: Kelvin Cato $6,048,000 to Portland TOTAL: $19,848,000 Portland trades: Scottie Pippen $18,083,564 to Houston TOTAL: $18,083,564 TRADE ACCEPTED I know everyone here hates pippen so do I but his contract expires in 03' and he will retire. We can use him for 2 years. Portland needs a big man (Cato) and Rice will take Wells place when he leaves for FA, and Williams will take the minimum to play for them when his contract expires or he can walk. They want to get rid of Pippen badly that is why they will do it. And also to get a big FA in '02. Rockets get their SF who can play D. Get rid of all their expensive contracts. So they can get their FA in 03' lineup in '02 C - Willis/Collier PF - Griffin/Thomas/Taylor SF - Pippen/Morris SG - Mobley/Torres PG - Francis/Norris They can get either Duncan/Jermaine O'neal/Odom/McDyess/Brand. lineup in '03 C- Jermaine/Duncan/Brand PF - Griffin/Taylor SF - Odom/McDyess/Morris SG - Mobley/Torres PG - Francis/Norris NBA Champs '03 no doubt.
while we r at it lets trade mo taylor n jason collier for kevin garnett, tierre brown n torres for kobe bryant, our #1 pick for michael jordan, and kelvin cato n a 2nd rounder for shaq.
Probably won't? Man that's an understatement considering Quitten hated it here and Portland thought so much of the players they would take that they traded them here in the first place.
Don't you ever use Scottie Quitten and the Rockets in the same sentence again unless the sentence sounds something like Scottie Quitten sucked ass when he was on the Rockets!!
Dude prepare for the ONSLAUGHT ace..... I cant believe you would ever even use the word Quitten around here. You may get banned for life for posting that crap! ROTFLMAO!!!!
Aww...don't rip the junior member... It's an interesting proposition, Ace, but I think Pippen and Houston's differences are irreconcilable. I do like the idea of getting J. O'Neal, though.
How about this deal? Houston trades: Kenny Thomas $946,920 to Milwaukee Houston trades: Walt Williams $5,000,000 to Milwaukee Houston trades: Kevin Willis $3,000,000 to Milwaukee TOTAL: $8,946,920 Milwaukee trades: Glenn Robinson $8,990,000 to Houston TOTAL: $8,990,000 TRADE ACCEPTED Bucks get to start Tim Thomas and free up some cap room with Walt and Kevin's expiring contracts and get a young PF in KT to back up Mason. Rockets 1. Francis/Norris/Brown 2. Mobley/Torres 3. Robinson/Rice/Langhi 4. Griffin/Morris/Taylor 5. Cato/Collier Bucks 1. Cassell/Alston 2. Allen/Redd 3. T.Thomas/W.Williams/Ham 4. Mason/K.Thomas/Caffey 5. Johnson/Willis/Pryzbilla
