The "Random Rocket Trade Proposals" Thread - 2007 Offseason

i could definitely see the clipps going for that.

i think that would bring too many scorers to our team. we would go from one extreem (not enough scorers) to the other.

how would the minutes and shots be devided?

yao-deke
scola-hayes
shane-bonzi
tmac-cat
steve-james

specifically the 1, 2, and 3 spots would be in major danger of chemistry meltdown.

 

Only if we can find a way to get Cato and Mo Taylor back, too. I mean, since we'll be sacrificing wins for the sake of nostalgia, let's really go for it!


Or not.

 

Mobley >>>>>>>>>> Alston, why would the Clippers do that?

 

and that's why your avatar's name is crazyguy. cuttino and francis are too shot happy to be with the rockets

 

I'd trade Alston for Cat and then tell Francis to take a hike.

 

this was my idea.

 

BTW, where can I find Cato, I miss him while Steve and Cat is on the way to Houston.

 

Sure, I'd trade Rafer for Cuttino. I'd also trade him for KG, Kobe or Duncan if you twisted my arm. Where do I sign?

 

I would do that in a second.

 

Francis and Mobley backcourt
plus Tmac Scola Yao frontline is a dynasty....

 

Skip is very good at running a offense, but has no offense.

So yes, I'd would definitly do this trade... anything for more offense.

 

heres a better question: who would you rather take back, francis or mobley?

id take mobley

 

I'd take Mobley over any ex-Rocket still playing. But why trade Alston when we could trade JL3? This is silly.

 

Well we could just trade them both.

Successful Scenario
Due to Houston and L.A. Clippers being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Houston and L.A. Clippers had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.


Clips would do it to save a lot of money. We would do it if it means also getting Francis back.

Francis+Mobley >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Alston+Lucas


I have to be honest, though, I think Mobley's contract is horrible, and to take it on would probably not make any sense.

 

PULL THE TRIGGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET R DONe.

 

Cuttino had a solid season playing with the Kings and Adelman, though he was still a shot chucker there. He successfully did what Bonzi didnt - Kings success to big free agent contract.

Wouldnt do the trade for Francis cuz I dont think he's that highly sought after except a couple teams...but for team improvement, yeah

 

**** no...why woudl you bring those two back together? i'm not completely opposed to francis coming back but those two were an absolute cancer to the rockets.....drove hakeem out of town...their ball hoggin', m-first mentality killed our team for years....rafer for mobley....one ball hog to another (mobley has better %) but no thanks!!! might as well bring pippen back.

 

Mobley wasn't so bad. He was a SG; his job is to shoot. The few times that he actually handled PG duties, I thought did pretty well.

I would do Rafer for Mobley in a heartbeat. We're still in need of a scoring 2 guard.

 

Exactly what I was thinking.

Why would the Clippers do that? Oh, I know, they are the Clippers.
