oops -- double post ------------------ [This message has been edited by kissofdeath (edited January 26, 2001).]
The Warriors just made a deal so they could clear more cap room to sign Marc Jackson. I know, Vinny Del Negro for Corie Blount, Paul McPherson, and Ruben Garces isn't that big a trade compared to what you guys are talking about, but then again at least it's actually happened. ------------------
Did you check this trade out on REALGM before posting this? ------------------ http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/houstonrockets2000
Can we Summarize for everyone: Dream's status in this is unknown. We're like a band of sunshine looking for brighter days. That's Kelvin Cato and the Sunshine Band Then the cold sets in and we feel good to be alive because our new interest is here with us and they're worthy of being number one with us!! Has Castor determined this is Vancouver?... But there may be another musical reference here. "we feel good to be alive" is from a song called "18 til I die" by... Bryan Adams who just so happens to be Canadian. This could just be a coincidence but it would fit with the "cold reference. Clue 2: IR/__ 1X IR = Kelvin /__ 1X = ? ------------------ Cohen
Oh hell, I'll play along... / : it's a forward slash... ummm... forward? ___ : it's a space... umm... cap space? 1X : it's an ex-player as in an ex-Rocket or an ex-1st round pick Heck if I know. How does Othella and Stromile sound? That doesn't even work capwise does it? I give up. I'm going back to waiting... I've had my hit. ------------------ "No Brain Grant, no trade." -- Typos are a b**** as ZRB is holding Rocket trades hostage while he seeks a brain. Conspiracy theorists say this would explain why Hakeem has yet to be traded...
I know the deal and I can't figure out all of Doc's riddle.... seriously Some of it does tell the story... I just don't understand all of it. Also, this isn't a done deal with any time frame that I know of... just something being seriously discussed from what I understand. The second I have clearance to post details I will... promise. ------------------ NOTHING BUT .NET CLUTCHCITY.NET
Not a bad guess Dr. D. IR=Cato /= forward= Carlos Rogers or Walt to miami or phoenix ___=Cap Space to Vancouver 1x=SAR Vancouver 1st Rd. pick in '95 to Houston ------------------ Funniest comparison I have heard lately... Charles Barkley refering to John Lucas as George Jefferson
Thank you Clutch. This is the only thing in my life I really care about anymore... ------------------ Jazzkiller
Did clutch give us a hint? "I think you'll see that team go through a serious dismantling... soon. " - Clutch Recaps He was obviously referring to DA GRizz. But then again, everyone knows that something's gonna go down with da Grizz anyway. ------------------ PrEsident of The Danforth Langhford FAN CLUB...

Damn Clutch, just when I said I don't think SAR is coming here... but I am glad I am wrong. So I guess Doc's THINGS CHANGE!! Pieces fall out of place! ...but this could be big.. is a reference to changes to Oily's post, and not a reference to Jamison. Xing my fingers.
I hope this deal happens sometime soon...its the weekend, perfect time to party. BTW...this is technically my first full season here on the BBS. Is this large an amount of trade speculation during the season normal? ------------------
Clutch, as a longtime member att CC.net I have only one request. If the deal falls through will you at least post any details you had. It sure would be nicer than reading the posts a year from now that speculate on all the deals we passed on for Hakeem. Example: "I can't believe that the Rockets just let Hakeem become a FA instead of taking that deal for Shaq." ------------------ "Stranger things have happened, but none stranger than this" - Commentator after a parachutist landed in the ring of a Holyfield fight
Is everyone so sure that Dream is involved. What if he isn't involved. Then we still get his cap space at the end of the season CK ------------------
Hmmm.... Rarely post but.... Rocks only have one player on IR: Cato. So, who needs a center for the playoffs? Miami, Pheonix, and maybe the Magic. Vancuver doesn't want the salary. Why trade one Big Country for another (Cato)? Clutch said only part of Doc's riddle made any damn sense, so this fits so far. Now, what do we need and what would make everyone (us) happy? A stud small forward or a center. I don't think we will get a center, so it has to be a stud small forward. Marion? That would leave the Suns with a hole in that position and the really like him anyway. Cedric Ceballos, Eddie House? Maybe, but would it make you party? Mike Miller? He's OK, but I wouldn't be partying. Nevermind.... I have no idea what I am talking about. I think I will drink myself into a week long slumber and find out later. ------------------
I can't imagine The Grizzle trading SAR for KC and whatever sunshine band we send to make up the cap dollars. They want cap space and we have no one but Dream who offers the relief and from Doc Rocket's post, Dream doesn't seem to be involved in this one. j ------------------
Vancouver. Has to be. And the players know it, the way they played. The way they're playing. I think this might have been a deal that fell through. Maybe Vancouver wanted to let everything settle awhile. Not seem desperate, trading away their players on the heels of the first published rumors. I just wish it would happen soon. Chicago/Vancouver/Houston? Miami? REAL soon. ------------------
I don't think Cato is going to Vancouver. He would be headed to Miami or Phoenix. We would either have a 3 way with Vancouver or get cap filler from Miami and turn around and trade that or picks to Vancouver for SAR(if he is the player that we are getting.) ------------------
Clutch is there any way you could give us a possible time frame for this. I can tell you this there is not much work being done at my desk today. I'm going nuts with anticipation. CK ------------------
If Hakeem and Cato are involved, we are getting a starting center. Period. No way in hell we lose both of them to have Mo and Collier start there the rest of the season.
