    I heard D-wade broke out his T-Mobile phone and tweeted that he's "tippin' on 44's". ;)

    You're not sure it's worth it getting D-Wade for 2-3 rotation players? Morey can pluck rotation players from any draft in the 2nd round. D-Wades don't grow on trees though.

    lol. you guys are funny. as if the rockets can make up something to interest miami. and with the trade deadline around the corner to boot!

    if miami's gonna trade d.wade, it'd be for an amazing young player on a rookie contract like derrick rose or an all star (or semi) like brandon roy. im sure chicago and portland would be tempted to give up either of those players to get d.wade. and if i were OKC, id even give riley anyone not named durant.

    Yeah, he likes Yao. Dwade and Barkley take culinary advice from Yao.

    Heat came in loosing 5 in a row before spanking us by 33, they needed that blowout like we did when we played the warriors.


    this actually has a 20% of happening.

    Reason I say that is because look what T-mac got us. Les put all his eggs in one basket with T-mac and it really cost us. We were the only team to take the Lakers to 7 games last year and we had a bunch of roleplayers. If we didn't have to give up to much to get him then by all means but if it costs us what has made this team what it is I don't see the point. We sure don't want to be Miami 2.0

    Their not trading him now unless he public says he's not resigning, Im sure Wade knows they will have cap to add another possible max player so he'll wait until the summer and see where Miami goes.

    You just listed 2 second round picks and a 24th and 26th draft pick. Morey acquires 2-3 of those picks every year. Do you think it's that hard to find more?

    I was watching Espn yesterday, and that Chris Bro something guy said, if guys like Wade, Lebron, Bosh, if those guys decided to sign with another team, they would be costing themselves 30 mill on the life of the contract. And with the c-b-a coming making things iffy, they would be dumb to sign anywhere else without a sign and trade.

    My dream is to have D-Wade in the rockets line-up, man can anybody imagine having this type of player on our line-up with Yao Ming and all the guys ??? that would be unbelievable.

    Wade is a good player. Of course Miami is not going to call teams and offer him for pieces. He is a top 3-5 player in the league. Of course if your a GM you would go after him as long as he would be in a winning position. How often do you ever have a chance to draft or trade or sign a top 3-5 player? Hardly ever.

    Morey: Hey Pat! This is Daryl GM for the Rockets...

    Pat: Hey Daryl how can I help you?

    Morey: Well I hear wade may be available and was wondering if we could work something out?

    Pat: Oh, I don't know Daryl, I got every GM in the league offering me players. Good ones too! All-stars, high upside rookies, everything you can think of!! I don't know if you have anything I would consider.

    Morey" Well, Pat, maybe you haven't heard but..................Joey Dorsey had a break out game.

    Pat: Who?

    Morey: Joey Dorsey.......Memphis? 6-9" 260lb?

    Pat: Who???

    Morey: Nevermind, look Pat, I'm willing to give you the deal of a lifetime. This could cripple our team for years to come but since I like you I'll help you out. How about Joey Dorsey, Garret Temple and.........are you ready? Bam!! Will Conroy!! Huh? Huh? But wait, if you act now because I can't do this all day, I'll throw in Brian freaking Cook absolutely FREE!!!! Waddayasay huh?

    Pat:....................................................

    Pat:....................................................

    Pat:Ok. Where do I sign?
