    Exactly what I was thinking Tinsley and Rafer are a wash. I think Rafer stays and the backcourt of Rafer and James has some interesting possiblities.

    I watched Troy Murphy all year. The dude sucks. He's inconsistant as all get out. His rebounding sucks. I'd take Danny Granger or Foster over this guy anyday.

    i'd be fine with luther and the 26 for diogu if that's what morey thinks is the best we can do. i'm still hesitant to include luther as i'm looking at bigger fish in another trade, but i don't know what else is out there.

    Oh. Hell. Yeah. Get it done, Morey! This trade would be the steal of the century, which is probably why Indiana will never do it.

    Sounds like a good trade, I saw couple games when Ike Diogu was still in Warrior and I was thinking if we could get him to be our PF last year.. Oh well, I will do it in a heart beat if all they want is Luther, #26, and Lucas.

    I also think that would be a good trade for us. We need a PF and Diogu is pretty good player at that positions. I'm sure we're gonna trade #26 pick + another players for good PF and I'm glad of it :)

    Doesn't this look like a situation where the trade goes down if Fernandez, or Almond is available when the Rockets pick at 26?

    Because there is a limited pool of talent available at the 4-call me Mr. Obvious- but this is the same way I felt when we drafted Griffin- we needed a big man so badly-we were happy

    I'm loving this idea, but for that I also want Shawne Williams and a 2nd round pick.

    Yes, that would be a PERFECT draft night! I want to see Mcguire drafted by the Rox somehow someway.

    Sura + 26 = Yes
    Novak + JLIII = Yes
    Head + 26 = Probably not. I know Head's minutes should drop next year assuming Bonzi comes to play for his old coach on a contract year, but I still think he has more trade value in a 2 for 1 package that will net us a more valuable bench player.

    I still like to see the Artest trade go through. Then package Battier and parts for a PF. Portland's in need of moving a big man. Randolf would too costly and Aldrige is probably not available.

    Im a big diogu fan and that means a lot for a wildcat to give a sun devil credit. It would be nice to get diogu and a pick, but beggers cant be choosers

    Loved Diogu that year he came out in the draft, and haven't seen anything in his limited time in the NBA to make me think otherwise. Good work ethic, knows how to use his body (a banger), decent mid-range game, excellent rebounder, long wing-span. What's not to like?

    You do this deal, if at all possible. He has the talent to me our starting PF for the next 7 years.

    Rocbox said it. Novac and 26 for Diogu.

    decent mid range? i would give him more credit than that.

    I would certainly be more happy with novak involved...no way luther should be included. Although JL3 would be the best, he has no place on this team
