    I'd only move Ron for someone like Richard Jefferson or Caron Butler. Both guys can step up and give production if/when Grady is out. I don't know if the numbers work, but those are the type of players I would want. But it appears to me Grady could be the odd lady out.

    thats exactly what it looks like. Tmac and ron must not be getting along. Oh and that trade isn't bad in your sig but if bogut is out how are we supposed to trade for him

    Yep; keep yourself from getting traded, Tmac, great job.

    I mean, it is a nice house out there in First Colony....The weather gets humid for most of the year but it beats a cold climate. Must be nice to steal so much of Les' money.

    And the Rockets are still stuck with T-Mac.

    How can anybody have watched the game tonight and not concluded that the Rockets are better off without T-Mac?

    mid-afternoon, as soon as the news/rumors broke over the MRI, that's all i was posting over the GARM; i think the best trade on the table (hopefully) is Tracy for Marbury.

    the Knicks are desperate - i repeat, DESPERATE - to trade Marbury away, and the fact that they'd be getting a former superstar back, a superstar whose contract expires by summer 2010, would be a perfect 'get' for them.

    of course, it's perfect for us, b/c that means we have $21 M to play with this summer, meaning we're under the cap. if we do another trade (for Hinrich, etc.), so be it. but this seems like a no-brainer. if we don't play Marbury, it's the same as if we don't play Tracy.

    IF true then TMac has orchestrated all the events that happened today regarding the MRI. Maybe the organization was caught off guard and stated that there was nothing wrong with the knee and maybe this stunt will piss Morey off and trade TMac.

    This could be interesting if the Rockets pull the trade for Marbury. 21 M to play with this Summer would be nice.

    Isaiah might have, but Walsh would never do it.

    well, it looks like Tracy is being successful in plummeting his trade value/****-blocking any possible trades: coverage from his halftime announce last night about his knee really hurting, etc., is on HoopsHype. everyone in-the-Know reads HoopsHype.

    he seems like one of those clingy significant others that keep trying to hold onto something when the other is trying to initiate a break-up, and will sabotage/hurt himself just to drag it out longer. he knows sinking his value is the only way he'll be able to stay on the team. diabolical.
