    Just curious...does this help a chance of a big trade or hurt it? 2 days ago, ron was about 90% gone it was sounding like...are the rockets still trying to trade him? about 21 hours till the trade dealine...is morey gonna pull the trigger or are we looking at something small like a luther head for a future 2nd rounder?

    I received a McGrady jersey a few weeks ago... I'm rushing to post it on eBay to get at least some money back before he gets traded. ;/

    seriously, just read the board and figure it out for yourself. that's the best guess anyone can put together.

    my guess is ron will be gone. the team can't afford to lose him for nothing this summer.

    Oh my gosh that was awesome. I listened to that all the time, it was on the radio about 10 years ago.

    Should we go after Richard Jefferson, assuming it doesn't involve Artest?

    How come no one is talking about Gerald Wallace or Jefferson? Both of these guys have been rumored to be on the trading block...without looking at their salaries, i'd take either of these over VC.

    ESPN said 20% chance of Ron being traded.

    Where has Fritz been with updates? Even an update of no update would be something.

    I have a time machine.


    I am going to go into the future to 2pm tommorow cause I cannot wait to hear what happened.

    I will then come back and make posts, fully knowing the result, but not letting on.

    I seriously doubt a trade is in the works at this time. Our biggest chip just went down with an injury that countless doctors said didn't exist.

    It would be a poor move trading away Ron Artest for someone. Mainly because his salary is pretty low right now, so in order to get a high caliber player we would have to package him with players we definitely don't want to lose (ie Landry, Brooks, wafer). Not only that but the team appears to be performing well with Tmac riding the pine. Mixing it up midseason will cause more of a distraction then anything else.

    If we can get rid of Alston I would be all for it! Doubt thats going to happen though.

    well... orlando needs a Pg. We have rafer, the guy that stan recommended to JVG. However, I like the way rafer has been playing of late.

    Best deal right now is Tmac for Baron Davis...but too bad Rockets' owner are being dillusional and think Tmac is still a start. He even say Tmac is a competitive player...i was like wtf.
