    HP,

    You need to get your new club better organized. This trade proposal, which I didn't put much thought into, was posted over 8 hours ago & has received only one response. Your organization has a very poor response time.

    It appears that Chicago, Minnesota, Toronto & (of course) NY are all being hit with injuries, & might be ready to make a deal or two. I'm starting to get tingly all over with the possibilities of working up some elaborate trade proposals. :D

    I'm with Hottoddie on this one. If you FARTS don't want to read trade proposals, vote with your mouse and move on to the next thread.

    Unfortunately, I must admit that with the exception of Hottoddie and a few others, most trade props are either not within the cap or too heavily in favor of the home team. In which case, I just follow my own advice and move on...unless it's another stupid Kevin Garnett proposal.

    Thanks for the props Gater. Now, I feel empowered to make another trade proposal. ;)

    Houston sends Taylor/Rice/Maddox/Drew obligation/protected future #1 pick to Chicago.

    Houston sends Moochie to Minnesota.

    Chicago sends Rose/Crawford/Blount to Houston.

    Minnesota sends Marc Jackson to Houston.

    Minnesota sends next year's second round pick to Chicago.

    Trade Accepted!!!


    Houston gets an upgraded starting SF, a bigger backup PG with a lot of upside, a versatile 4/5 in Jackson, & Blount's expiring contract to make it work. We also get to keep KT, while adding Jackson's ability to play the 4/5.

    Chicago moves Rose & Crawford (whom they have reportedly become disenchanted with) & picks up a solid PF in Taylor, a veteran SF in Rice (with a shorter contract than Rose) that won't bicker with JW, a raw, but talented young PG, that has shown he's got the ability (he just needs to shake off the rust), released from the Drew trade restriction, & pick up a future #1 & #2 pick.

    Minnesota gets a healthy PG (once his non shooting pinkie heals) & moves a player that they reportedly wanted to move during the off season.

    Okay you FARTS, fire away! :p

    As I said earlier, I am not opposed to a "legitimate" trade. However, one that guts the team like this one is ill-advised to say the least. I agree with Rockbox but not from the same room.

    Brilliant trade. I'm with POOP and against the farters.

    But we can't trade Maddox yet, can we?

    Not until December 15. But, by then, we'll know for sure if we want to keep KT or Taylor, & the league will know that Taylor is completely healed. I would really be surprised if the Rockets were to keep both of them, along with Griffin.

    You all must try this recommendation. After creating several sonic masterworks, if you simply hit the back button several times, they will blare in quick succession. Very therapootic when recovering from another wholesale trade proposal.

    Though I prefer to remain unaffiliated, I do want to point out that the trade checker reporting "Trade Accepted" does not mean the trade is worth a fart that requires a change of underwear.
