    "Doc" - Someone who is in the medical field perhaps?

    "Rocket" - Someone who is in the Rockets organization?

    "DocRocket" - Someone who is a doctor with the rockets?

    Rockets Team Physicians according to my Media Guide:

    Dr. Robert Gillett
    Dr. Bruce Moseley
    Dr. Walter Lowe
    Dr. James Muntz

    Now I think DocRocket is one of these people. Of course it really doesnt help knowing DocRocket (if he is one of these doctors), because I highly doubt any of us know these doctors. And since its almost 3 in the morning and I have no I idea what Im rambling about.....

    Sorry if this was already posted, but too many posts to look for it.

    Anderson and Dream would add a lot of defense to a playoff contender.

    hmmmm....is everyone asleep from a long night...hehe

    I said there was Baywatch clue to go with the Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily.

    Forget speculation for a moment. Here's the facts we've seen in the BBS:

    Rudy loves Mobley and Langhi. Mobley is a starter now; Langhi's time is inevitable and getting close. He doesn't think we have enough rebounding or big men in general.

    If the starters are:
    SF
    CM
    DL
    Mo'
    new center

    What kind of trade are we talking about?

    Yeah, but it was P A Lee for a while, so it could be a Knick hint (Spike Lee).

    It could also mean that they are going to sign Keith Lee.

    Why is it that the only threads that get this kind of traffic involve trade speculation? Can't we get as excited about the players we have now, or the games themselves? Probably not.

    HP, you are a funny individual.

    HP, you b*stard, you´ve done it again. Anderson! How didn´t anyone figure this out?

    What kind of trade? OBVIOUSLY a trade that lands a 3.

    As much as Rudy likes langhi he can´t possibly plan to start him right away. He´s had next to zero playing time so far.

    Which means that the trade has to include a 3.

    Looks like Reeves/Reef if you ask me.

    I can´t believe that rudy would trade Anderson, who is doing so well currently at the 3 if the trade didn´t include someone who outplays him clearly at the 3, meaning what?

    Shareef.

    Or is it Indiana? Croshere (he can play the 3) and something else?

    But croshere is not worth giving up on Anderson.

    Sheed? (used to play the 3 with grant at the 4) Portland would not give up their all-star. Even though they have a logjam with Dale Davis and Kemp.

    Who else? Phoenix? Marion and what else?

    a 3 and 5 could also be Camby + Houston (kinda [​IMG]).

    Thanos,

    I doubt the Rockets shopped Anderson, but other teams have a way of demanding players to close a deal.

    Rudy is going to give Langhi his shot. We aren't going for a SF, imo. I don't see why you think that. We need REBOUNDING man, and improved defense, especially if Anderson is in the trade.

    IMO, any trade is all about improving the frontline, and continuing to go young. Our need for a SF is highly overrated on this BBS. Rudy has never stated that. And in fact, in the paper today, he again mentioned the need to get a big man to "erase mistakes".

    Trades can be explained right in front of your face, and you may not see them. It is like Invisible Bunnies can talk but no one listens!!!! This is fun.

    Mutumbo sure does erase mistakes, and Shandon happens to be from Georgia (not sure if he's from Atlanta?)

    Correction to be made=Dermarr Johnson?

    But why would any team not gearing for the playoffs want Shandon and Hakeem?

    A quick check says Hardaway, Marion, Dudley, TskTsk from Phoenix for Hakeem/Shandon/K. Thomas works, but that's probably getting too much from Phoenix. No way would we take Googs.

    PHO would then be-
    Olajuwon/Santiago
    Gugliotta/K Thomas
    Cliff Robinson/Rodney Rogers
    Anderson/Elie
    Kidd/Delk

    We'd become
    Dudley/Cato/TskTsk
    Mo/Collier/Rogers
    Marion/Langhi/Walt/Bull
    Hardaway/Mobley
    Francis Moochie

    Shandon is underrated.

    Hmmm. A big man to "erase mistakes" sounds like a shot blocking center.

    I´m not aware of any shot blocking centers besides Mutombo who are on the trading block.

    But it just doesn´t make sense. We wouldn´t give up that much for Mutombo.

    Hp, a 3 like Reef or Marion would improve our rebounding tremendously.

    Funny how at this point the wizard has become completly expendable. I hope we ship him out of here ASAP.

    The need for a 3 may be overrated, but if we ship olajuwon we would still have some form of center in Cato. If we ship Anderson and with Walt being in the doghouse (where i hope he stays, BTW) it sounds like too much weight to put in the shoulders of a rookie with no PT so far.

    Just my two cents.

    But if we are talking Dream here, we´re talking big salaries. Phoenix would have to give up a lot more than Marion to get the deal done. They have been unwilling to do so with Atlanta to get Mutombo, who is arguably in far better shape than Dream is.

    The only difference is Dream´s willingness to play for a lower salary, while Mutumbo will demand MAX.

    One heck of a jigsaw puzzle we´ve got in our hands.
