T-Mac for Baron Davis? (Update from Sporting News)

LMAO classic

 

yah. me and some friends have referred to him as C3PO ever since



"Davis was born in Houston, Texas. "

someone has a lot of time on their hands....lol

 

I mean who the hell is sitting at Baron Davis wiki and fixing all the pranks?

 

Who is sitting at Baron Davis' wiki page and actually believing what they read on it?

 

Are you sure it didn't say British Knights?

 

what so big about baron? The guy cant shoot at all.

 

He isn't better than Yao but he isn't a 15 min/game player either.

 

CBS Sports is also reporting that the Rockets are discussing TMac for Baron: http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/11838893/13653310

 

Interesting...

 

He could see some time at backup 4 too.

96 minutes split between 4 quality players. Assuming Yao gets maybe 31-33 mpg, thats ~60 between Scola/Landry/Kaman. It could happen.

 

That's interesting...a third team could take Kaman...maybe a team that needs him more?

Also if this is Baron's doing that means...he WANTS to play here.

 

That's the way I see it too.

 

By the way, what happened to Chris Kaman? Last year he was playing extremely well when Elton Brand was out.

After hearing and reading in media reports that Tracy McGrady will have season-ending microfracture surgery on his ailing left knee, the Houston Rockets aren't ready to pack it in. They might be looking to do something big.

The Rockets have been mentioned in plenty of trade scenarios in the past 48 hours, but none more intriguing than the latest one that puts them in conversation with the Clippers about Baron Davis.

A person with close ties to Davis told CBSSports.com Wednesday night that the Rockets and Clippers were discussing a trade that would free Davis from a disastrous return to his hometown and allow the Rockets to remain in contention without McGrady. The parameters are difficult to nail down, as the talks involve "a lot of moving parts," the person said. But it appears that one possibility being discussed has the Clippers willing to take back McGrady even though he won't play the rest of the season and faces a long recovery from the microfracture procedure.

As preposterous as that may seem, the trade makes sense in Clipper logic; McGrady has only one year left at $23 million, while Baron has four years and $54 remaining on the contract he signed with the Clippers last summer. There would have to be other pieces going to Houston to make the salaries match up; the Clips have been looking to deal Chris Kaman. If the talks progress, the parts could be so complicated that a third team might be required to facilitate.

SportingNews.com first reported Houston's apparent interest, quoting a person close to Davis saying, "It would be best for everyone if Baron moved on." It could be an inside job, with Davis and his operatives trying to drum up an exit strategy, with a solid playoff team as the destination. One source said the Rockets are telling teams they're working on "smaller deals." There would be nothing small about this one.

I think the Rockets are thinking over it, not the Clippers.

 

I'm good with this deal, even if it involves Kaman. Right now, we're not smart enough or talented enough to contend. This deal goes down, we're still sure as hell not smart enough...but we might be talented enough.

Better than just hanging around a year or two when Yao's skills really start to decline.

I trust Morey...but if he can get something done, we have to look at locking HIM up long-term.

 

Isn't this trade with the Clippers before T-Mac announced his season ending? I don't think they are interested anymore.

 

why do people want baron?????????? still confused

 

do the nets need Kaman? just saying (even though we possibly wont be able to afford Vince...)

 

if they throw in Kaman, im down~!

 

I'm not just saying this because the trade has come up but I have always imagined Baron playing with Yao for some reason. I can just see the alley-oops going down in my head.
