    Ok I'm going to try this trade thing out for once.. Since its known that Baron Davis and Coach Dunlevey are at it how about this..

    http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=11~25~194~3018&teams=12~12~10~10&te=&cash=

    Clippers send Baron Davis, Steve Novak

    and

    Rockets send Ron Artest, Rafer Alston

    We upgrade tremendously at the point and take another shot at Novak. Hopefully this time things will be different while we send them a proven scorer and a point guard to replace Davis.

    I don't like Baron Davis at all and that is not a good contract by any means. Besides that it would be funny to get Novak back and use his own trade exception to get him back for free.

    No disrespect but its not about who you like. Its about whats best for the team. With Baron Davis' penetration skills, the ability to pass, and the ability for him to get and 1's would be great. Another reason I sort of came up with the idea of getting him is because of the desire for the Rockets organization to somehow end up with injury prone players. :(

    Rockets Incoming Players:

    Andray Blatche
    Salary: $2,739,669 Years Remaining: 4
    PTS: 10.1 REB: 5.4 AST: 1.8 PER: 16.28

    Antawn Jamison
    Salary: $9,923,285 Years Remaining: 4
    PTS: 21.2 REB: 9.1 AST: 2.0 PER: 20.45

    Washington Incoming Players:

    Carl Landry
    Salary: $3,000,000 Years Remaining: 2
    PTS: 9.1 REB: 5.1 AST: 0.7 PER: 17.58

    Ron Artest
    Salary: $7,400,000 Years Remaining: 1
    PTS: 15.7 REB: 5.3 AST: 3.0 PER: 14.93

    Luther Head
    Salary: $1,962,378 Years Remaining: 1
    PTS: 4.8 REB: 1.2 AST: 1.6 PER: 9.96


    This trade leaves the Rockets still under the luxury tax. We get an upgrade at the PF position and a young, athletic backup center. Scola would then come off the bench with Blatche. I think Washington might do this since they're not going anywhere this season, so once Arenas and Haywood return their lineup would be something like this:

    C-Haywood
    PF-Landry
    SF-Artest
    SG-Butler
    PG-Arenas

    This is provided they resign Artest, which they can do because both Mike James' and Artest's contracts expire after this season, leaving them under the cap

    According to Marc Stein:
    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dime-090207-08
    McGrady + Landry + Dorsey (filler)
    for
    Jefferson + Bogut + Jones (filler)

    Filler contracts need to be included so both teams stay under LT.

    *Milwaukee based media have floated rumors regarding Landry months before FA began this year and more recently the CharlieV trade rumor. Where there's smoke there must be fire. How high are they really on Landry?

    *Cold weather, small market team. They're not winning but McGrady gives them a marquee player to sell tickets who they could never dream of attaining in usual circumstances. Even with Jefferson, Bogut, and Redd added up that's not enough star power to match McGrady's.

    *Bucks go from being stuck with the MLE for the next several seasons to 2010 FA players.
