My Positions Against the Positions For Trading Cat

Anti-Mobley is un-loyal to the Rockets.

SUPPORT OUR PLAYERS!!

 

I think my trade with Sonics is better than all those trades with Clippers. I would even throw in Kelvin Cato, Jason Collier and yeah James Posey and receive one of their bad contracts (Jeorme James?) to make it more attractive. I really assume that Sonics can't get a PF in this year's draft and still covet Eddie Griffin (as they're last summer).

Sonics lineup:
PG- Rookie PG
SG- Cuttino Mobley
SF- Ray Allen
PF- Eddie Griffin
C- Kelvin Cato

 

I think your trade with the Sonics is way too good for us. It's impossible. They already gave up Gary Payton. Now they are going to give up their 2 second best players after Ray Allen? So they can have a backup for Mobley? And a crappy shooter who doesn't fit their style in Eddie Griffin? And a smaller Jerome James type player? And a useless Jason Collier? The only good thing they would be getting would be James Posey.

We would be getting Brent Barry and Rashard Lewis, two excellent players.

Brent Barry 5.0 + Rashard Lewis 8.5 + Jerome James 4.5 = $18.0 million.

Cuttino Mobley 5.0 + Eddie Griffin 2.2 + Kelvin Cato 6.7 + Jason Collier 1.4 + James Posey (approximately) 3.5 = $18.8 million

It actually works out well. And to me, Jerome James is not one of their bad contracts. He's a pretty good player. He's better than Cato if he wants to be.

Steve Francis - Moochie Norris
Brent Barry - Juaquin Hawkins
Glen Rice - Bostan Nachbar - Terence Morris
Rashard Lewis - Maurice Taylor
Yao Ming

It is a much better trade for the Rockets. But what do the Sonics get? All they get is a bunch of mediocre players for their two best players. And they lose money. We would need to add some draft picks or something.
