1. Doubt the Rockets get a TE just in the hope of doing a deal with Utah. 2. If they have a deal pre-negotiated with Utah, why play with the TE crap and why not just do a 3 team deals. It's not like it's exactly a secret that Portland wants to use its cap room in facilitating a Utah 3 way. And it's a lot easier to make salaries work in a 3 way than messing with TE.
The other thing that I forgot to mention, is that <i>Stevierebel</i> is with the Rockets organization (if I remember correctly) and if this was a completely <i>Junk - Bogus</i> thread that needs to be locked, it would be strange for him to be so active in it.
No link, rumor makes zero logical sense...if we find some backup this subject can be revisited For those whining bout how long it has taken to lock...ever consider we do have lives outside this board
