    I missed that? Could you tell me what trade almost went down, or at least point me in the right direction? :)

    Xiki, I'm curious, why would you be willing to trade our young players for Antonio Davis who I believe is about 35 or 36 years old? By the time we're in a position to make a run at the championship he'd be retired.

    Do you honestly think we'd be good enough to make a run at the championship if we had him now? Again, I'm just curious.

    I think it's a little too early to tinker. A team 'tinkers' when their almost about to turn the corner(getting passed the first round). The Rockets are approaching that corner but are about 2 blocks away...

    I will butt in with my thoughts :p Its true that AD is old and in 3 years he will be useless but when that time comes, his contract will be over and we can use his salary and apply it to another bruising PF. PFs like that are generally easy to find (compared to Centers and PGs). Look at the Bulls with Ho Grant and Rodman. We should do the same.

    i liked bill walton when he played for boston and portland, but i hate bill walton with a passion as a commentator, but back to the subject. the ****ingf rockets wouldnt be worried about getting a premier power forward if we would've kept kenny thomas. and now we got posey, who is hindering boston nachbars development, because posey and morris is logging all the sf minutes. and one of our best defenders on our team (hawkins) barely gets the minutes that he deserves, and cuttino is in the biggest shooting slump of his career. something has gotta be done. and we all know this

    Since when is a PF like Rodman easy to find? Your talking about one of the greatest rebounder and defender to ever play that position.
