McGrady To Houston Thread (Update: Francis will visit Orlando)

I hope Charlotte comes through on that because that means the deal is dead and we keep our same backcourt.

 

dammit we better keep Boki or i'll be pissed.

if Boki is traded, howard better change to gooden and lue better change to gaines.

 

I love Boki

 

Are u in love with steve or somethin. I saw some other thread about how u liked his dribbling and leaps. SO im guessin u just like flash.

 

The sad state of affairs on the Clutchfans.bbs: The biggest trade in the franchise history is being oveshadowed again by the homoerotic exfixiation of the board with a pathetic scrub from Slovenia who is included in the deal only because he is in the last year of his deal. What do you thing, Magic will pick up his option by October 30th? Don't be ridiculous...

 

Our bench looks depleted. They really need to hit free agency and pick up a PG, backup PF, and backup SF. Declerq doesn't cut out to do Cato's job.

 

Boki? The uprise now is with Boki? Are we still speculating on his potential? Or the play from a couple of games? My worst fear with Boki is that we/CD sign him to a long term contract after this season. Have we not learned our lesson?

Get the trade done. Steve is damaged goods now and we won't be getting anyone better back in return. Take McGrady and whoever they want to include.

And let the Bobcats draft Howard if they want to bluff. I'm sure we can work out something different. There is no way the Magic should or will part with the #1 for this reason.

 

could you please say that like Balky from Perfect Strangers?

 

If Charlotte does that crap (which I'm not sure they even can?) then I just might have a new most-hated team (move over Jazz/Lakers)

 

Boki hasn't done anything good except for clobbering Malone. Also, the Boki poki is a stupid dance.

 

I dont think the Jazz can ever be eclipsed as my most hated team, no matter what any other team does.


18 years of Karla and Dickton...nuff said.

 

If Charlotte takes Howard I am never watching BET again.

 

Someone is confused here... according to Palilo of 610 sports Juwan Howard is not in the expansion draft. He was protected by the Magic.

I'm going to trust the local sports guy here. I don't see why they would include Juwan Howard's name as being part of the deal if he was in the expansion draft.

 

Thanks for pointing that out! WHEW So it's basically really done! lol i can't believe it amazingly wonderful. WELCOME TO HOUSTON Go Rockets!

 

I don't think Jim Gray knows for certain who is not protected for tomorrows expansion draft all they know for sure is T-Mac and Steve are protected and someone that is involved in the trade is unprotected. Everything else is just speculation.

 

At long last, I agree with the Trader in this instance.

SHOALS AHEAD?

 

I'm as big a fan of Boki as you can find on this board, but there's no way he becomes a deal-killer. If Orlando needs him, then so be it. The important thing is that we have Yao and T-Mac. The role players will come once they see the superstars we have.

 

Boki is the deal breaker, Boki is Yao's only friend, you cannot trade him. Yao won't allow it.

 

If Boki is included in the deal then I think it becomes imperative that we land Barry.

 

As I recall, the last time we nixed a deal because the other team wanted a bench player we considered untouchable, that player was Rodrick Rhodes.

Boo hoo. Pull the trigger.
