    LOL you forgot to mention Randolph's superior ball handling and speed dude. If you truly think Randolph is a Stro clone....my sincere apologies go out to your home. It must stink with the stinch of whatever it is you smoke.

    I'm sure there are a ton of deals mentioned here so far but this one actually works and we give up nothing.

    Rockets get: J. O'Neal, Randolph, D. Cook
    Warriors get: D. Wright, U. Haslem, B. Cook, J. Taylor
    Heat get: McLady, Biedrins


    Everyone goes home happy.

    The decision to trade Tracy Mcgrady would have made a little more sense if the Rockets would have at least given him a chance to play this year with this team, and he didnt perform well. I would rather seen a good team out there that a pour team that hustles. ;)

    Well, Riley is a r****d. Plus they get expirings and rid themselves of the burdensome Biedrins contract.

    Maybe you forgot that Stro was drafted with the second overall pick because of his huge potential and freakish athleticism....sound familiar? I love messing with people who THINK they know basketball. LMFAO

    Stro could handle the ball like a guard??? This guy is a freaking playmaker! Something Stro never could have been.

    Again, that's not what a "poison pill" is. Stop redefining the English language dude!

    Poison pill is something which makes a player unacquirable by a competitive team. If Maggette was a poison pill it means that his contract is structured in a way to make it impossible for someone to match an offer or steal him away from a team.

    Simply having a bloated contract doesn't make him a poison pill - it makes him unwanted baggage.

    There are lots of instances where people acquire a poison pill contract....or refer to it as such.

    Brian Cook could be considered such a contract.

    That is how I am referencing it......sorry you don't like it, but I am sure..that most people understand the reference and don't care less to hear what you think the "Proper" use is....but thanks anyway....

    No really, thanks.

    no really.

    ;)

    Sorry about your boy getting sent home though......well...not really sorry.

    Golden State gets raped in every deal.

    Crawford for Claxton, Acie Law
    SJax for Bell, Radmonovic

    And on. And on.

    My buddy was at a Kings game tonight where he got to listen to executives talk to fans before the game. The executive almost let something slip but said it would have to wait until tomorrow. My buddy thinks it has something to do with T-Mac but I don't know...

    OK my man, does getting sent to Chicago constitute him being off the team?

    I think I own your sig for the next couple of weeks, right?

    I'm not sure about his wrist but I'd be ecstactic if we could get K-Mart without having to lose any important pieces to this team. As long as Morey keeps the core together and just gets rid of Tracy, I'm completely on board with a trade if it pulls in a young guy like Kevin Martin.

    If you throw in cap crap like Dorsey and whatnot, the trades would work.

    Whether the trades are at all realistic is something else.
