TRADE ACCEPTED Why would Miami do such a trade? First, they get gobs of cap room next summer when the Glen Rice, Anthony Carter and LaPhonso Ellis contracts expire. They still get veterans in return from the Rockets, but more cap-friendly veterans. They can re-sign Mourning for one season to give him a last shot, and take the benefit of his cap space next summer if it doesn't pan out. They get out of four years of overpriced deals owing to Jones and Grant. And the number four pick is not as valuable as a top three pick, when there are three studs sitting at the top of the draft. And with the #4 pick, the Houston Rockets select . . . T. J. Ford!
So we'll be the first NBA team since the 50's to have a pair of guards averaging less than 6' or less? And which one guards Kobe, Kirilenko, Bonzi or Anderson, Ray Allen, Finley or NVE, Penny, Manu, or Christie? I love TJ...just not next to Francis.
he was 19 when he came in. thats the same age amare was. and how many college freshmen come in and contribute? not very many...
We could give Eddie Jones more PT when we need a stopper against a top shooting guard. Francis would swing between the 1 and 2, depending on matchups.
Yo Chico Joe!!! THAT'S WONDERFUL. Okay. First....we would be giving up A LOT...Griffin, Rice, Taylor, and Mobley. Eddie Jones would be good...and Brian Grant would be nice. But if we got TJ Ford...lol. Steve Francis, TJ Ford, and Eddie Jones? I'd rather get Caron Butler! Or...draft Chris Bosh or Emeka Okafor! WHOOO. I wish.
This is comical. Eddie Jones and Lebron James for two scrubs? Brian Grant and Lebron for Eddie and Cuttino 'might' be good? Nobody in there right mind would give us Lebron, Carmelo, or Darko for Cat and Eddie. They are 3 potential superstars. Eddie is a scrub and Cuttino thinks hes awesome...little does he realize he ruins the Rockets. The fact you said 'might' implies you might not do it. Which is ludicrous. If the Rockets didnt do that it would be as comical as umm say Trading 3 first round picks(One Richard Jefferson) for Eddie Griffin. Now that would be a nightmare!
Yeah we dont need Lebron or Carmelo, but we are in the lottery. Hey I heard Kobe likes the Rockets and hes willing to come cheap! But we dont need any more franchise players! haha good post
well we need smart players. and if tj ford is in the draft. this trade must be done(jbc trade). I just refuse to sit next season and watch rocks go down hill again.45 wins don't cut it at all. f4l,so kobe lis the rocks huh? still we need a coach who has a motion offense plans for this team if kobe is added
kj, u wish huh? I didn't want to be wishing myself i rather hope that it would happen eddie and cuttino are both young and vets .us getting grant or eddie j would bring vet playoff experience we just lack this season.both smart for sure. i wish steve had mj brains anyways.
