    Lol, he sucks so hard he had a website dedicated to him:

    heylarryhughespleasestoptakingsomanybadshots.com

    Plus he has an albatross contract that is comparable to the one Wallace signed....

    all the tmac hate posts inspired me with this idea:

    tmac for marion + banks (or james jones)? tmac would finally get out of the first round with a healthy wade beside him. wade would have that extra wing scorer beside him who can make plays and wade can concentrate on scoring.

    rockets get a SF/PF for 1 yr. if it dont work, they can just not extend marion (along with artest if he doesnt work out, which seems to be the case so far). lineup this year, which should improve rebounding and defense.

    alston
    artest
    marion
    scola
    yao

    if they decide not to resign both, they free up about 25m next year. if kobe opts out next year, they can offer him the 25m. you end up with

    alston
    kobe
    battier
    scola
    yao

    that's a good lineup for next year. so you basically risk 1 season, but you get a kobe by next season.

    LOL. We's have no creators, our offense would be more stagnant than ever, and who says we get Kobe? Just because we have cap space? That's just absurd.

    in a motion offense, you dont need any creator. plus, all the tmac haters kept pointing out that tmac hogs the ball. marion, doesnt need the ball to score. he usually puts himself in a scoring situation. he would work in a motion offense the way he did when he was in the suns. it wouldnt be stagnant as everyone would be forced to rely on RA's motion offense since you dont have tmac as playmaker.

    there's no assurance that kobe would opt out, or he would sign for only 25m. but like i said, you free up 25m for next season which you can use to sign players, with kobe being the most sought after.

    anyway, it's a good trade for both teams. unfortunately, i wont be a rocket fan anymore when that happens. i go where tmac goes. lol.

    Rockets should trade Tracy Mcgrady ...

    The reason i say this should happen is because of his bad body and emotion on the court,we really need help at the pg position. We don't need a major upgrade just some help and I believe someone can do the job. Aaron Brooks is doing great but he is more of a scorer than actual pg. Just throwing out my idea

    This would be perfect for us, but will never happen. Wade is the same type player as T-Mac only better. They would be a terrible fit together. Also, Miami has hung on to Marion because his contract is up after this year. No way they trade for an extra year with T-Mac.

    We need height and athleticism, we should find a way to get Shawn Williams from New Jersey.

    Luther Head is expiring? Maybe give them Luther and a 2nd rounder?

    I've never heard anyone say that before...

    But seirously, who would we get for him? No team would want to trade anyone decent for him.

    His big(ger) contract is one reason the Kings might actually do the trade. It's not a terrible deal anyway. He becomes a 6 million dollar expiring contract next year when the rest of our money comes off the books. It actually works well financially for the Rockets.

    i go where tmac goes as well also lol but i will still always love the rockets, but i think tmac and alston should be traded for lowry gay and darko, we get a 7 foot shot blocker with some scoring ability, a good young point guard and a young version of tmac but i doubt grizzlies would do it and cap doesn't match up anyway unless a few other are thrown in.tmac for joe johnson?

    This is the most rational and reasonable idea I have seen in the whole thread about trading. I feel like too many ppl dreaming here and lack of such intelligence like this. Thats pathetic.
    But anyway, this is one of the great idea. Even if its garbage contract like someone mentioned, it is still gonna expire in the year T-mac's expiring. I would do this trade without any thinking.

    If you get williams, why do you need dorsey? Give them Dorsey too.

    I've always liked what Mihm brings. I think the rox can get him for francis, dorsey, head and get them to send mbenga while they're at it.

    I would trade Head, Francis, and Landry (on 12/15) for Brad Miller. The Kings would get cap space and a nice young asset in Landry.

    Miller would be the perfect backup for Yao, and he could play a few minutes at PF too depending upon the matchups. Could anyone run RA's offense better?

    Forget Mike Miller, he looks like a woman and is not that good.

    Let's ship Francis back to New York for Mobley once the 3-way trade goes through :D

    HE is BRAD Miller. We need a back-up center as the priority. I would do that trade even tho I like landry.

    You know i actually like this trade idea. Miller is the perfect fit for the offense we are trying to run.
