Morey- do it while it's hot. The jazz's problems basically stem from andrei kirilenko's outburst this offseason and the fact that Jazz management has forced jerry sloan to cater to AK47. Basically because of this capitulation, Sloan has now lost the entire team, since who can respect a coach(especially a hardass like sloan) if a player can openly defy coach. THe gordon giricek incident has basically accelerated the timeline for trades. Basically the Jazz are now forced to make a decision. They need to either fire jerry sloan, or trade kirilenko and giricek. otherwise they risk basically boozer and deron williams going bad on them. This is the perfect time to trade with the jazz. Mcgrady, Snyder, James to Jazz for Millsap, kirilenko, giricek, harpring.
Sorry but don't like this trade at all. Those four Jazz players will not put the Rockets over the top. On the other hand, the trade would make the Jazz a major contender, if not this year then next. A pissed off McGrady to go with Williams and Boozer? No way the Rockets allow this.
T-Mac for Kirilenko, I think it's a mutual benefit. Now T-Mac's bad attitude to games has been known to all fans and teams.
I think that it will actually mess up the jazz chemistry when all is said and done. It looks good on paper, but i will bet my bottom dollar that team will go nowhere. And Sloan will likely crush T-Mac's fragile ego as well. I am not worried about the jazz after this trade.
boozer, d-will AND TMac? are you kidding me? and we get a defensive specialist AK47 for our supposedly offense-minded team? are you a jazz fan in disguise trying to troll here?
Not just kirilenko, the core of this trade is actually millsap, he is basically the enforcer rebounder with potential that yao has needed his whole career.
games are not played on paper, why are denver struggling? why is the jazz playing so bad? Why is the knicks the worst team in the L.
Basically, your trade proposal sucks for the Rockets, basically speaking. We would be getting no offensive playmaker in return with this trade, basically so to speak.
That trade stinks and AK47 cant play off the ball. Why do the Rockets do this? Why take on a bad contract that dont help the team needs? I dont like this idea at all. He is not the same player he used to be. Certainly they can get much more else where for Tracy.
trading with Jazz is bad idea. I don't think AK with help us anymore than tmac. However, I like the idea of trading with Wizard for agent 0, he said he will opt out and go to better team with money. Why not Houston? there aren't that many teams out there that would trade with us. Hawks for joe johnson plus filter? Kings? Bibby plus artest?
Why do you want to trade softness for softness. We need HARD players!!! And whoever suggested Utah would trade Deron Williams, please smack yourself in the face for the rest of us.
If the Rockets did trade Tracy this year they would only trade him to a Eastern conference team. The only trade that comes to mind that would be realistic is Caron Butler/Gilbert Arenas for Tracy. Arenas has already said that he will opt out of his contract at the end of the season and become a free agent. So in order for the trade to work, Arenas would have to agree to an extension. If the Wizards think they would lose Arenas anyway, then they might agree to this trade.
As much as you hate T-Mac now, I think you will probably miss him a lot after/if he's traded. A lot of us seemed to hate JVG while he was the head coach, now he's gone, see how much people here miss him ...
