NO do not want to deal with utah last time we did we got Manboobs and the times before that Carr and Andersen both of whom sucked here in houston.
Przybilla is lesser trade asset in 2010. If Shane goes Rockets need to be compensated with some young assets. Battier + Cook → Pryzbilla + Fernandez + Batum + rights to Freeland *Only including one of Rudy or Nic doesn't work Roy & Aldridge ARE Portland. They just need vets in their prime to help get them over the hump in the playoffs now instead of in 2 or 3yrs time. Blake, Bayless Mills Roy, Webster Battier, (Webster), (Outlaw) Millsap, Outlaw, Pendergraph Aldridge, Oden
Great point, Morey just mentioned the other day that he loves when rumors come up because it gives him an excuse to call and explore trade scenarios.
When Portland wants to go smaller and run, they play Outlaw at the PF with Aldridge at the 5. Remember the Portland series?
The confusion it seems is that the "feel" from Utah is that they just can't take on that much more salary. Heck, why do a sign and trade, if they are willing to take on the salary? I mean, they apparently love Milsap over there, right? So, might as well just match the offer, if money is no concern. Milsap, Boozer, Okur all healthy is a pretty formidable front-court combo. But I just didn't think they could afford that plus D-Will plus AK47 plus fill-ins. Ronnie Brewer's going to have to get paid someday, too.
82 games can be wrong with those minutes sometimes. I think they go with listed positions rather than watching.
Talk about killing 2 birds with one stone.....But if its just Battier for Prys then I dunno...Prys is a center, but a 30 year old, and it'd be completely un Morey like move !
Sorry, I forgot to include that Utah would give up either Harpring or Korver in the deal. They would be shedding a lot of salary in either trade and end up much better in terms of the LT than they would if they added Millsap to what they have.
Ok, if the Rockets can land Joel Pryzbilla can they also land Amare for TMac and Landry like in another rumour thread? This would be awesome and instead of rebuilding the team would be back in mix of contending.
I remember reading a rumor that detroit and utah were trying to make a trade of hamilton for boozer. This might be something we should keep an eye on as well if we want this deal to go down.
