James close to Sign With Rockets for 30million 5 years?

once again
it's just from someone who claimed he heard it from toronto radio
the deal is close not done yet

 

I don't believe the report on the Toronto radio station. Sounds like BS. There's no way we would do that deal for James.

 

espn insider is reporting that their close to a deal, but they probably got their info from here...

 

It was something posted on the RealGM boards.

 

I hope you are right, I really do.

 

Not to pick on you cause many posters have said the same but how can we say that the window of opportunity is closing when we haven't even begun to open it. 1st round playoff exits should not be confused with championship contenders. The Rockets are trying to assemble a team that will give us a chance to compete for a championship in the near future. I think James and Battier fit into thier opening the window plan.

 

No worries. Toronto's not going to get a damn thing. Mike James for the MLE is the deal as it stands. All that BS about Luther Head and a 1st rounder are all fabrications by some bogus Toronto radio station.

 

Yeah, somebody heard on the radio that someone had read on the internet that somebody had heard on the radio that someone had read on the internet that somebody had heard on the radio, that ...............

 

No they got their info from the same source as this thread, Toronto Sun.

 

that's what it sounds like to me as well. why would we give up luther head and a first rounder for nothing????

but i guess we did trade rudy gay and stromile swift for shane battier and nothing else, so anything is possible.

 

from someone who said he heard it on toronto radio

toronto is under the cap
they can take back salary

 

it was a joke

 

Toronto should just be stupid and take Howard.

 

so we still have our TE lets see if we can get a trade done since we are out of any free agency money.

V-span will have to wait another year.

 

Because the Rockets' management walks around bent over clutching their ankles waiting for a West or Colangelo to come strolling along?

 

Big,, big problem with your logic. Had we not traded him, we could have used his Early Bird rights to re-sign him. And we'd clearly have an MLE and we would not have to dangle Luther Head for a TOR SnT. We screwed it up and are very fortunate there's a "do over".
