***I do this only if Mobley was going to leave*** If I were in charge of the Rockets I do this: If Mobley comes to us and says he's going to leave to go to Toronto we ask him if he do a sign-and-trade. If yes we do this trade: Mobley, Thomas, 2nd Round Pick for Curry,Willis,1st Round Pick Toronto dose it because they get Mobley to replace McGrady and they get a PF in Thomas. Houston dose it because we get Curry to back up Anderson and Willis to be our back up C again. Could you picture Cato and Willis on the court at the same time! Thats a lot of strenght. Next re-sign Miller, Massenburg and sign Lewis, A.C. Green And last trade Drew, Bullard for a couple of 1st Round Picks to anyone Dose anyone know what happen to Mack? If so I would love to get him back. That leaves us with: C - Olajuwon, Cato, Miller, Coller, (Willis) PF - Willis, Massenburg, Rogers, Green, (Coller) SF - Lewis, Willams, Langhi, (Mack, if we can find him) SG - Anderson, Curry PG - Francis, Norris Dose this all work with the salary? What do you guys think? ------------------
If Mobley was to go to Toronto, it'd be for more money. The point of sign and trades are to give free agents more money, while helping out the team they're leaving. Kenny Thomas can not be traded with Mobley in a sign and trade, Mobley can be the only person from Houston's side. Toronto can offer him more than Houston can (assuming TMac leaves, so why would they sign and trade, and lose things, when they could sign him for more money (which is what he'd prefer) outright, and not lose anything. ------------------ The more lefties on your team, the better. Collier is Seven Foot and Left Handed. How can you go wrong? Trade or bench Kenny Thomas.
All $ considerations aside... I can't see any reason why we'd WANT to do that trade. They get Cat/Kenny, we get Willis back and a 1st round pick next year (we're already thick there, thanks to our savings-oriented mentality and the recent draft). Essentially, this is a 'trade Cat and a small but promising PF - for Willis' deal. I'm not sure Kevin would help THAT much... More. Somebody'd better give us a lot more than that for anything involving Cuttino. A LOT MORE... No, resign Cuttino. That should be priority #1. Make sure this backcourt stays together, because 1) it's young and can grow together, 2) everyone seems to get along, and we've already invested the first year for its future chemistry, and 3) that will allow us to focus all of our efforts upon landing that single inside talent (or developing it, if Cato eventually wakes up) we need to lift off... Resign Cat, THEN see what you have to work with. All $ considerations aside... ------------------
As soon as we sign Mobley would we be able to give Moochie a contract extension? ------------------ I'm tha hip hop attracta, rapper slash acta, right back at cha!
