we should talk w/ the Kings to a S&T deal to get Webber here. we'll then be able to re-sign all of our FAs: Hakeem($5M/yr, he won't get more than that elsewhere) Taylor($6M/yr, starts w/ $4M in the 1st year) Anderson(early bird or a little more) Moochi($1.2M cap exp.) Bullard($1M vet. Min) we can even sign Marc Jackson if he's willing to play here for about $4M in the 1st year. plan 1: in the past season, Vancouver offered SAR for Cato+Williams+3 1st Rd. picks. and now they need our #18 pick badly(otherwise they'll have to give their own pick to Det. next year) so I'm assuming the deal will still work out for them. here's a 3-way deal that will make sense: Van. gets Cato+Williams+#18 pick+2 future 1st Rounders from Houston Sac. gets SAR + K. Thomas Hou. get Webber line-up could be: Dream, #22 pick, Collier Webber, Taylor, #13 pick, Bullard, Lanchi Anderson, Mobley Francis, Norris #13= J. Johnson, P. Gasol, R. White, R. Jefferson, or G. Wallace. #22= B. Haywood, K. Johnson, A. Jones, J. Collins, or S. Dalembert plan 2: trade Mobly($4,4M)+KT($0.94M)+Cato($6M) for Webber($12M) line-up could be: Dream, #22 pick, Collier Webber, Taylor, Bullard #13 pick, Williams, Langhi Anderson, #18 Francis, Norris #13= same as above #18= J. Forte, T. Hassell, or G. Arenas I think these are the only ways we can get Webber and still keep all of our FAs. ------------------ Yes I'm new here
in the past season, Vancouver offered SAR for Cato+Williams+3 1st Rd. picks. Huh? Every rumor involving SAR, also included the other team taking Big Country. The Rockets would have jumped at the chance to do the deal you mentioned. ------------------
No way should the Grizz have 2 top big men in CaTOFU and BigC. Their front line would be super! [This message has been edited by Rocketability (edited May 24, 2001).]
Rocketability - I agree - super expensive! Hard Rock - I think Cuttino is untouchable for trading purposes. ------------------ GATER

aelliott- I saw the rumor in a Clutch's post several months ago. Clutch said that it was the Grizz offering SAR and Rudy turned down the deal. GATER- 1.) that's why I prefer my "PLAN 1" 2.) I don't think Cuttino is "untouchable" if we can A.)get Webber in return B.)keep all of our FAs C.)get rid of Cato's contract D.)find a replacement in a very deep draft(J. Forte, T. Hassell, or G. Arenas) what do you think? ------------------ Yes I'm new here
Rocketman95- I don't know if Clutch remember this rumor, but I'm sure he did mentioned this rumor in his post! I even remember someone created a photo that has SAR in a Rockets' uniform. ------------------ Yes I'm new here
Yeah, I'm sure it's not a secret anymore. That's what Clutch posted anyway. ------------------ www.swirve.com "Pre-born, you're fine, pre-school, you're f*****."-George Carlin
I seriously doubt Rudy turned down that deal. I think the deal fell through because Cato was stuck on the IR for a bruise or something. ------------------ "Empire" had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All "Jedi" had was a bunch of Muppets.
maybe but don't worry, let's tell the Grizz that Cato promised to "...lead the league in rebounds" they'll still love him ------------------ Yes I'm new here
I think it was Cato and 5 first round picks for Reef, and many (not me) thought that was too much to give up. ------------------ Liberals favor using artificial means to alter the normal to a state which facilitates and justifies how irresponsible they want to be
