    I will not tell you who I am, so don't even ask. I love to read this forum, because you people are the best off season fans in the NBA. Your Rockets are about to get better.

    Three team trade- Houston, Chicago, Golden State.

    To Chicago-
    Eric Dampier
    Kelvin Cato
    Bryce Drew
    Carlos Rogers

    Chicago picks up their centers of the future, the versatile Rogers, and a good young point guard.

    To Golden State-
    J. Crawford
    Hersey Hawkins
    Marcus Fizer

    Golden State gets two potential stars in Crawford and Fizer, and cap room next year when Hawkins is released.

    To Houston-

    Ron Artest
    Vonteego Cummings
    A. Jameson
    1.5 million exemption

    Houston upgrades at the backup point guard position, gets a wonderful young swing player in Artest, and the athletic Jameson at the 4.

    the trade does not make sense, that will left Houston with no center/backup center.

    Chicago would be the loser in this trade. Hard to see them trade away Fizer and Crawford for two decend backup centers. Houston and Golden State, on the other hand, would benefit greatly from the trade. Krause doesn't seem that foolish to pull of this trade in my mind.

    I´m sorry, but this trade doesn´t make sense.

    Sure, we would add a great player in Jamison, but Cummings and Artest are useless to us.

    We are already LOADED at both SG, with Anderson and Mobley (Artest, he´s too small to play SF) AND PG with Francis and Moochie (though i think Vonteego has HUGE upside).

    Any trade that sents Cato out HAS to get us a C (Dampier, i suppose) in return.

    Just my two cents.

    As long as Cato does not go I am for it.

    I personally think this is bogus because it favors everyone but Houston. Especially Chicago

    Wow, lol, I doubt this is true, but this trade would be GREAT for the Rockets, if we could turn around and trade for another big man.

    How about KT for Doleac?

    C- Dream, Doleac, Collier
    PF- Mo T, Jameson
    SF- Williams, Artest, Langhi
    SG- Anderson, Mobley
    PG- Francis, Cummings

    Man, that is, on paper, about the best Rockets team ever!

    Uh...yeah, Bob Rainey. Some interesting stuff you got there. Did you use Real GM to see if the trade worked under CBA rules or not?

    Now that realgm.com has surfaced i guess we´ll have "sources" popping out of nowhere with incredible out of this world trades that work under the cap every single day.

    sigh...

    sorry, but i don´t buy it. not this kind of info, in a first post, without any credibility whatsoever. And it doesn´t make sense, too.

    Any admins wanna check this guy´s IP?

    this has gotta be someone´s sick idea of a joke.

    that´s what it looks like, IHMO.

    Golden State would have a nice little team with Crawford,Fizer, and Hughes. No way Houston will do this deal. But it is interesting to see Fizer and Crawford remain unsigned.

    I will not tell you who I am either.

    You will have to call me Captain Rudy, and I will solve the mysteries of the BBS.

    Few facts: This poster is posting from Finland, using an excite.com (free anonymous) mail account and created his BBS account today.

    I'm not saying anything -- just passing along some interesting info. Carry on ...

    Bob Rainey sounds an awful lot like a nick someone who has already chosen Gary Coleman would use.

    Better luck next time.

    Obviously, Collier is the center of the future, and, of course, Pig WILL be re-signed.

    I'll be able to sleep tonight for the first time in months.
