    I like who we get but what about the wolves they get a bunch of poweforwards which they already have love and jefferson, not to mention miller is there best and pretty much only shooting guard worth anything. I love the ideas but you gotta think about the other team at least a lil bit

    You can't just use a guys current stats on a bad team in a bad conference. No one will argue that the west has much better teams from top to bottom, and being a guy who puts up a bunch of stats for a bad team is totally worthless.

    The guy puts up amazing stats on an inconsistent basis and has consistently be the go to guy on sub par teams. I know a lot more goes into a teams record than just him but basically he is a poor man's Kobe of the Kome era. I realize that this is very similar to what many people say of TMac I think VC is wayyyy more a cancer that TMac and I think he much more selfish also.

    Im sorry but you I have to laugh at your rebuttal, you totally just proved my point for me, and I thank you for that. You said carter is inconsistent, have you seen tmac the last two years, at least carter can play back to backs, you say he is a poor mans kobe maybe he is but that would maybe tmac a poor mans micheal redd, because at least carter can dunk, all your boy tmac does is shoot sorta like micheal redd. If you havent noticed marbury at this point would be less of a cancer than tmac so to think carter would be worse is just absurd, so thanks for trying but you failed

    Too many typos I had to correct it

    Any of these trades would make me a very happy Rockets fan, its a stupid dream of mine but hey it is a legitimate trade for everyone involved and with the Suns and Nash not seeing eye to eye on the offense in Phoenix and with Atlanta and the Chicago losing games it is something that should be really looked at. I just don't know why in the hell the Rockets are so dead set on Rafer when we have the chess pieces to pull the trigger on a great point guard that could help set us up much better. If we had a good/great point guard we would be so much better as a team, our current players would be better for it as well and I think someone that can feed Yao better would also lower our turnovers in the end.

    http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=592~11~25&teams=10~21~21&te=&cash=

    Or we could try this one with the Hawks and the only reason I'm adding Speedy is because his contract is crap and any team taking T-mac from us is going to require us taking some worthless player with a bad contract if they package it with a player we want. Its just the give and take of the NBA. We would also get our young back up center for Yao in this deal too so it actually would serve us two purposes.

    http://games.espn.go.com/nba/featur...~150~2016~11~532&teams=10~10~10~1~1&te=&cash=

    Then of course there's this one from the Bulls. We get a quality point guard for our new starter and we still keep Rafer and use him until we work Hinrich into the system, we also get Hughes which I hate but he is being shopped and we will get stuck with him I promise you for anything we want from the Bulls if we are giving them T-mac. Then also get a young back up center that has an expiring contract if he doesn't work out. We only lose T-mac, Head, and Dorsey-who I think has been a real disappointment for Morey and Les. The contract years are give and take and looks like everyone would come away happy.

    http://games.espn.go.com/nba/featur...~3421~2763~532&teams=10~10~10~4~4~4&te=&cash=

    We could also try to trade Hughes after we get him for Marion if we package up Rafer and Hughes to Miami it would work. We would be a very deep team if this could happen. I would be so happy if this one happened I would probably die or go into a coma. Our team would be feared thats for sure.

    If we can't land Redd, RIP, VC or Josh Howard for TMac, this is a trade I might consider. We get our point guard and a player we wanted in 2006 draft

    I like all of these the only problem is that you need to give the bulls a point guard in return because if you take out kirk then they are down to just rose, also marion for hughes might be a tough buy but hopefully they would like the idea of alston but like i said chicago need a back up point also

    Jarrett Jack has been playing spectacular of late averaging 14/5/5 on 50% shooting in January, and Travis Diener would back him up.

    I'd offer TMac, Brooks, and Dorsey to the Clips for Baron and Camby. Baron isn't happy there and Camby isn't in their long term plan (if they have one). The Clips lose Baron's contract and TMac would be perfect in LA - he's all flash, no substance.

    Can you imagine our defense with lineup of Baron, Artest, Battier, Camby, and Yao?
