    Some might bash me for this but this trade will help the team

    Trade Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley to the 76ers for Allen Iverson and Eric Snow. Would you do this trade? I would, Allen wants out of Phily and this could give him a chance to start over and prove he can lead a team and make good choices on and off the court. Snow would give us the PG we always wanted and Allen would gives us the leader we needed to make it to the elite status in the NBA. I am serious about this, I wish this could realy go down.

    I admire your boldness. I would give the duo SF and Yao another year before Rox should make a major move in the lineup.

    I am trying to be serious here, I am not posting a foolish post here. I think this would turn our team around and would give Steve the chance to lead a team on his own in Phily. I think this would help out both teams.

    No way. I would trade Rudy T for Larry Brown before I would do a trade with Philly.

    Steve is young and apparantly doesn't recognize the fact that he has one hell of a supporting staff. Trade for Iverson, no, DNPCD, yes!

    I knew people would just bash me, but this would improve the Rockets. I promise we would make the play-offs with this line up.

    C-Yao
    PF-MoT
    SF-Thomas
    SG-A.I
    PG-Snow

    Griffin
    Rice
    Cato

    I don't like it. If we are going to reach the next level, its going to be because of Francis (who, IMO, is as good as Iverson now and on the verge of becoming better) and Yao. For some reason, I don't see Iverson having the patience for Yao.

    Rudy is in it (for the Rockets) for the long haul. Even if we could get Larry Brown, there is no guarantee he would stay more than a season or two. He is well known for his job hopping.

    AI is a team player, I guess ya'll have not seen him play this year. He is passing the ball and making good choices on the court. Plus A.I. and Snow play better defense than Francis or Mobley will ever be on defense.

    I like Iverson but there is no way I would do this trade. I think most teams would definitely rather have Francis over Mobley. Francis may not be as good a scorer but he does so many other things.
