    July 1st last year was the first time i ever heard Bosh to Houston. Than before the season started it was they are going after Bosh no matter what. Than went to NOBODY is untouchable. What i get from this is Toronto dont seem like a threat and the only move that makes any sence would be to gut their long-term contracts out and be already set for Durant and Anthony in 2011. I seen a photo with Bosh in a press conference wearing a Rockets uniform probably pre-recorded during the all-star game. So does it make sence that McGrady would be baught out in Toronto and came back to Houston, which is why he'll be around at the press conference?

    Someone slapped it on this forum the same day or a couple days after the all-star game with the ESPN headline.

    I thought about that, but it can make sence that it could be pre-recorded.

    If the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets work out an agreement for Tracy McGrady, Knicks rookie Jordan Hill expects to be in the deal, a source close to him said. The Knicks have made it clear they’ll be willing to include Hill if it helps them move Jared Jeffries’ contract.

    Trading Hill and Jeffries would clear more than $9 million in salary-cap space, allowing the Knicks to possibly sign two max-level free agents this summer.

    I don't think Hill will be an issue. Mike D'Antoni said it because he didn't want people think he couldn't develop young player if Hill played well in Houston. If he really cares about Hill, why didn't he claim this early?

    It was not a news paper more like your computer screen with him in a rox uniform. Sure there would be pictures flying at a press conference just brilliant.

    ****, if Hill is in Morey will do the Knicks deal. The Bulls deal seems like a pipedream right about now, all the signs say Knicks. My guess is Walsh is holding out and will probably budge tomorrow / tonight.

    Letting Scola go, or Curry letting himself go.

    So you can possibly draft 3 consecutive Jordan Hill types.
