    Why not just keep T-Mac and throw ourselves into the Lebron sweepstakes in 2010 rather than be stupid.

    Yeah lets get another chinese dude who isnt really proven for a guy who we know can be one of the better players in the league when he is healthy.

    Might as well throw in an international star for Stro right?

    Beyonce is from Houston. We all know who really runs that relationship so B will make sure Lebron plays for her hometown. Also, Lebron is not the only great FA that year. I rather have enough money to sign one of those guys than to get a crappy deal for Tmac. Which could also mean taking on a longer contract than he has.

    I think about 3% of the people in this forum actually know what they're talking about.

    8 teams to dump Rafer to.
    Rockets are $1.7M over LT.

    Charlotte - Felton (expiring)
    Rumored to be on the trading block after Larry Brown was hired. Team went with Augustin initially but he wasn't ready yet. Alston is a good sized contract for them for the short term (2 seasons)

    Alston Head +Hayes for Felton +May
    Rockets save $1.82M

    Portland - Blake (expiring)
    Again another team that might like Alston's contract as they wait on their younger prospects.

    Alston for Blake
    Rockets save $650k

    Sacramento -Udrih
    Going through a youth movement. Petrie supposedly very high on Brooks.

    Alston+Brooks for Udrih
    Rockets save $360k

    Oklahoma - Watson
    OKC have 3 defensive minded PGs. Alston would bring something different.
    Alston +Head for Watson +Ibaka(draft rights)
    Rockets save $662k

    Indiana - Dunleavy/Daniels
    TJ Ford giving the Pacers life. Dunleavy is curently injured was a PG before growth spurt has played PG a handful of times for GSW successfully. Dabiels began as a PG under Nellie before losing favor under Avery. Will one of these players be moved? Jack is an expiring contract.

    Chicago - Hinrich
    Out for a few months but Gordon's play of late might have just booked Hinrich a ticket out of Chicago.

    Cleveland - West
    West is currently starting at SG for the Cavs but all three PGs on their roster are shoot first types. Anderson who's unrestricted is rumored to ditch them after this season because of those ugly contract talks.

    Memphis - Lowry
    No idea how the Rockets can get rid of Rafer in this scenario. Lowry would be a good idea if the Brooks & Barry combo can beat out Alston.

    You might have notice that rafer's contract is actually longer than felton. And may's contract is another expiring contract. Why would bobcats want to trade for a veteran that they will not play, and have a longer contract?

    Why is rafer's contract better? Both expired after 2 years, and blake's contract is cheaper.

    I was hoping for an upgrade, udrih is an upgrade over alston, but you cant expect udrih to play 48 minutes. Udrih have been given a new 20m 4 yr contract during summer. And no one will trade their starting PG without a significant upgrade.

    haha, are you suggesting that OKC wants rafer to brick for them?
    And why would you want watson? He brick even worst than rafer.

    Dunleavy is a player i really like, but playing him as PG? Why not play Tmac as PG if you wants. Daniels as in Marquis Daniels? His a shooting guard not a PG.

    Becareful with players coming back from long term injury, we do not know how well they will recover from it.

    Interesting player, with career high in 3p this year.

    Rox could sent anyone over for a 1 for 1 trade, as memphis can eat up the difference. But who can rox trade? Luther head and von vafer?

    All i care about is getting a more serviceable guy at point than Rafer... realizing Hinrich is hurt - i'd still float the option... With Gordon playing well, Chicago may be happy to dish Hinrichs 4 year deal for the 2 year Alston contract and expiring Head.

    This Trade Succeeded! Go back to adjust your trade or start over.

    Hinrich is out at least three months. We both saw how scary things can get without Rafer for one game let alone three months.

    Houston Rockets gets ;
    Josh Boone - Trenton Hassell's bad contract for 2 years

    New Jay-Z's Jets gets;
    Head - Steve Francis expring & 2 mil trade exception

    NJN trying to make some playing time for Brook Lopez. GSW offered Bellinelli for Boone, so maybe we can get Boone for a package like this.
