    What About this? i know the rockets perfect solution.
    We Bench Tmac when he comes back and put wafer in starting till about playoff time. that way we give "tmac" the "rest" he needs. i mean wafer is averaging about 16 a game since he started. why wouldnt that work i mean look at our line-ups.

    Starting: Alston, Wafer, Artest, Scola, Ming
    Bench: Brooks(Barry), Mcgrady, Battier, Landry, Mutombo/Hayes


    Why would that not work. i mean the fact is i doubt tmac is going anywhere. so the only people left to trade for a decent point guard (everyone is saying Hinrich) is by trading Alston, Dorsey, Head, Hayes

    That way the rockets cant blame anything on anyone because tmac is gettring the rest he needs. just play him about 20 minutes a game and the rest wafer can handle. combined them two should drop 25+ a game.

    Houston: Carter (3 years left, last season team option) + Stromile (expiring filler)

    New Jersey: McGrady (1 year left) + Head (expiring filler)

    Tempting considering T-Mac's situation. Carter is what he is but his numbers are good and he's surprisingly durable. All the same, even though this type of deal would likely be our best chance to receive equal value, I think it's abundantly clear Morey wants us to have 2010 options.

    I highly doubt we move T-Mac especially if we keep winning without him. This "save him for later then let him wreak havoc" approach makes sense too.

    Yea im all about trading tmac but the more and more we keep winning without him the more and more less likely a trade seems

    Another Tmac trade

    Chicago gets the best in this:
    Unloads a guard contract, a disgruntled one at that.
    Gets a tall that can actually play the 5 well.

    Detroit:
    Almost 36mil in exp contracts from this trade alone (not counting who ever else on the team) in 2k10 (can attempt TWO superstars)
    Unloads Wallace contract
    Resolves the whole Hamilton being 6th man situation

    Houston:
    Trades Tmac at a fair (considering current time) value.
    Gets a replacement who can run RA's offense just as well if not better then Tmac.


    Tmac goes to Detroit

    Wallace goes to Chicago
    Hamilton goes to Houston
    Kwame (whose been a bust) goes to Chicago as a filler.

    Hughes goes to Detroit where he will get PT.
    Nocioni goes to Houston, his fronting contract will be good for resigning Artest if it comes to that.

    Could replace Nocioni with Gordon if the Bulls want to get rid of a expiring (knowing he wont resign with the Bulls) but he is the leading scorer so who knows, would need a filler, maybe Noah. With Gordon expiring, you have between Artest and Gordon to choose whom to resign. Good scenario for us to let them fight amongst themselves. Scola has an Argentina buddy. Note how well Ginobli plays having his own buddy maybe this would be good for morale for both Scola and Nocioni. Good business wise as now you got 2 good players from Argentina. Increased international fan base.

    Hughes is becoming cancer if he doesn't get any PT. This trade solves that. Hinrich has increased his level of play therefore making the Bulls think twice of using him in a trade.

    While not completely remolding, they get almost 37 mil in expiring contracts in 2k10 from the trade alone. They can with ease resign Stuckey and 2 superstars. Hughes wont care if he doest start as long as he gets PT. Dont have to worry about Tmac playing till a bit later and Tmac has played 6th man before so maybe he would be less of a problem with Detroit and Iverson. Two old school superstars!

    Detroit takes on 4 mil in salary while both Chicago and Houston drops 2 mil. Both teams might wanna add a mil in cash to help Detroit.

    Ok here is another one of my many ideas for getting rid of tinmac

    Rockets trade
    tmac

    Toronto Trades
    Jermain Oneal
    Anthony Parker
    Roko Ukic- 3rd string pg

    Chicago Trades
    Kirk Hinrich
    Drew Gooden
    Cedric Simmons

    Houston Recieves
    Kirk Hinrich
    Anthony Parker
    We would do this because parker is not a bad player and we get a true starting point guard while keeping our other point guards

    Toronto Recieves
    Tmac
    Drew Gooden
    Cedric Simmons
    Toronto might do this because they get tmac and they need a better shooting guard plus oneal is on the trade block and they recieve gooden who is averaging basically the same as oneal

    Chicago Recieves
    Jermaine Oneal
    Roko ukic
    Chicago might do this because they have said that they want a true center, and gooden and hinrich are on the trade block

    Nets need a PG, (is Harris still hurt?)
    Bulls want to rid one or both of their costly guards

    Rafer has been playing well lately.
    Battier hasnt been up par but he might still be hurt?

    We want a more consistent PG (maybe we can hope that Rafer isnt being streaky...) but in the mean time.

    Bulls send Hinrich to Rockets
    Bulls send a cheap filler to Nets if need be (I'll let them pick) or jusr recieve cash from one or both teams.

    Rockets send Battier to Bulls
    Rockets send Rafer to Nets

    Nets send Swift to Bulls

    Rockets trade:

    - Ron Artest
    - Rafer Alston

    Phoenix Trades:


    - Steve Nash

    Why Houston does this: We get Steve Nash

    Why Phoenix does this: ??? (I don't care, we get Steve Nash!!)

    Nash doesnt fit in a half court set up system. Also, in a trade, we need to get youth. That's why we dont have many fast breaks because we are more veteran then youthful.

    even when he wasnt injured last year Wafer is producing more for the money

    Nets are looking for a SF, trying to make a deal with the Bulls for Hughes though (moving Vince to the 3).

    Think we can intervene with maybe Battier?

    trade idea

    Change in Team Outlook: +0.3 ppg, +6.9 rpg, and -3.0 apg.
    Incoming Players
    David Lee
    6-9 PF from Florida
    15.7 ppg, 11.5 rpg, 2.0 apg in 34.9 minutes
    Stephon Marbury
    6-2 PG from Georgia Tech
    0.0 ppg, 0.0 rpg, 0.0 apg in 0.0 minutes
    Outgoing Players
    Tracy McGrady
    6-8 SG / SF from Mount Zion Christian Academy (HS)
    15.4 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 5.0 apg in 33.9 minutes

    the knicks are obviously looking to get rid of stephon and david (upcoming free agent this summer). This is a deal that makes sense for both teams.
