    Actually, now I'm a bit worried. If Chad Ford says it'll go through, that means it's never going to happen. :p

    I dont care who it is (Ford or whoever) but any of those people that originally said the deal is hitting a snag that are NOW saying it will go through..... I think that is a very positive thing!

    Trade exception for the #7 and Howard Eisley as starting point guard (assuming T-Mac deal goes down)? Ford's an idiot, but that makes for interesting discussion.

    Maybe Phoenix is getting into the trade as a three way deal. They wont get TMac, and they know that based on TMac only wanting to play for HOU, but mayby they get involved to move their pick. Who knows.

    if this trade dont go down wont SF value be extermely low, since teams know that he will only play for certain teams and eveyrone knows houston dont want steve no more.


    TMac deal needs to happen, or we are really screwed. :(

    If Francis had to say something, he should have done this a long time ago, to avoid this exact situation. That is the real problem here. It's not what he said. It's when he said it. Timing is everything. And like ESPN said, this is setting a bad precedent. The League needs to buckle down somehow.

    ill pledge more to the Karma Gods if we somehow manage to unload MoT and get a high lottery pick.

    Josh Childress and Shaun Livingston would so rock.....

    $10 more bucks from me. The cost for the bandwidth for the past couple of days must be crazy.
