    Plan Z, if all else fails.

    Wilson Chandler is the only guy I would want from NY, and we would have to take Jefferies contract to do it.
    ( Mcgrady for Hughes (expiring), Jefferies, and Chandler)

    I do it in a heart beat

    I like Biedrins and if it means less PT for Yao to stay healthy and FRESH for the PO's I am even more down.

    I understand your preference but it's not what you want or I want, it's what Morey and Les want. It's what NYK wants to give up(or any other team for that matter). In short, it takes two to tango. There has to be an agreement or compromise. NYK wants McG. Houston wants Hill or Douglas. NYK doesn't appear willing to give up either of those, and instead want Jeffries off their hands. Houston doesn't want Jeffries, etc, etc.

    If it were up to the fans, a deal would've been made already and Butler or Iguodala would have been in a Rockets uni. already.

    I think there is deals with Philly even without Iggy/Dalembert.

    Speights/Young would be nice if they was looking for some cap relief. I think these 2 players make good assets and Williams a good filler.

    Scola/Lowry/Cook/Taylor for Speights/Young/Williams maybe Budinger instead of Taylor, then swap 13th pick for pick 7.

    Something to a smaller degree.

    I still wonder if they can sign and trade McGrady? If this is the case then he'll be headed where he wants to go like Chicago for Salmons who is BTW, Expiring asset.

    This makes Battier - Landry's raise and Salmons - Brooks raise.

    I think what the hold up is about wether not Salmons opts out of his contract so they can sign McGrady straight up, if not no biggie then they'll sign and trade instead.

    What if the deal comes from a team that hasn't been mentioned? We are thinking Wizards, 76ers, Knicks, and maybe Raptors. What about the 20 some odd teams left? If you'll notice trades that are talked about all season normally never come to fruition, it's always the trades you don't hear anything about, before they actually happen.

    Right!!! Even something so small without much change can have a huge impact.

    Precisely. One example.....KYLE LOWRY!!! Need I say more? When we made this deal I thought it was pretty unspectacular, but now you can look and see the HUGE impact it has had on this team.

    Anything can happen that's for sure. Right now i think they already have built in plans, everything else is just mumble. It's mumble, because they want outside opinions.

    I think it can go either way actually up or down. Dont do anything or do something it can rise or sink from deadline on forward.

    I can't remember what it's like to have a SG who actually shoots 50% on a regular basis.

    If he would have held off on the 3's he would have an even better line.
