    Exactly, I wonder where they get their info from. I know we have Yao Ming, but..

    I don't think that's to bad for the Rockets. It's terrible for Phoenix though.

    If it was Ben Gordan and Kirk Hinrich, I would be ecstatic.

    How is Ben Gordon overrated? Who even rates him? Ben Gordon is a great scorer and shooter. He shoots very efficient for a shooting guard too. 41% from 3 land, and 45% FG.

    This team really needs a wing player who can score efficiently. Ron Artest is not doing that job right at all. He is shooting 3's and playing defense.

    Hughes just plays defense and be a spot up shooter. As that one person said trading 1 dead body for 2 lives body.

    Not sure if the salaries match up anyway. Isn't Phoenix looking to cut payroll?

    oook for the 3 people who said they like it I just want to know if you guys watch basketball?? Lol I mean seriously McGrady is hurt and he isn't playing good now but Hughes is just plain oh awful. The guy couldn't play with LeBron. What makes yall think he can play with Yao.

    If this is from a Chinese media or from you just making it up then its horrible. Im sorry. They must not know anything about basketball. This trade really hurts the Rockets instead of making them better.

    P.S- MCGRADY ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE JUST FACE IT!!!!!!! You guys can bash him all yall want but just face it the guy is staying. And please stop coming up with crazy trade ideas. Have a nice day :D :D

    my sentiments, exactly. on the other hand, while we won't have mcgrady's huge expiring contract next year, larry's expiring contract is pretty decent-sized, as well.

    MOST IMPORTANTLY, this clears up money to re-sign Artest, if both sides are willing parties.

    I'll be laughing at myself when we end up not doing anything.

    Ben would veto the trade anyway because he would lose his bird rights

    That trade scenario doesn't work, because Phoenix is taking back more salary than what is going out.

    Maybe, if we immediately cut Hughes. Wafer has more game than Hughes has.

    Im sorry but may you please explain to me what makes Kirk Hinrich soooooo great. I've notice you keep bringing him up in your post and your 2 videos you've done. What makes this guy so special that you think the Rockets should try to get. Mind me you want to trade for a point guard who has an injury on his shooting hand. So therefore that kinda makes Rafer more valuable than him

    It is a real website, you just have to go to a search engine and type it in then translate the site to english but not sure if there is any truth to this. Doubtful

    This trade actually doesn't work, Suns need to get rid of another player

    They need to cut $5,182,130.
    I tried on the Trade Machine on ESPN.

    I don't think he is great per-se, but rather he is a great FIT for the Rockets with Yao Ming.

    He is a steady PG, that plays great defense, sets up his teamates very well, comes from a college that ran a similar system as Adelman and more importantly is a much better shooter than Rafer.

    To me, getting Hinrich is like Sacremento getting Bibby, he just fits.

    It would make the Rockets instantly a lot better, IMO.

    This won't even work in NBA 2k9. That's how bad this trade is.
