    I know we ALWAYS talk trade....but the deadline is close so maybe this is it (yeah,right!)
    Does anyone seriously think the Rocks will make any moves this season?

    If so what?

    Talk amongst yourselves....and get back w/ me. [​IMG]

    Well, since most of us would agree that Francis and Mobley are untouchables... there's not a whole lot we could get from a trade. Unless we swap scrubs and hope that somehow their scrubs will have better chemistry here. I think a trade is doubtful.

    I can't wait until this summer when we press for Webber. Just having a chance gives me hope that we can see the glory days once more.

    I'm just hope that Les doesn't pull a Drayton McLane by dumping salary, just before we move into our new arena... I don't see it happening, but of course it happened with the Astros...

    Les is a great owner who has done everything the Rockets and their fans could ask for...

    Would like to unload Walt. NBATalk says Lakers/Heat might be interested.

    Any trade would be to give us more cap room so don't see much

    I don't think a trade is likely anymore. We have heard nothing from Doc Rocket for the longest time (not even cryptic mumbo jumbo!). If something were in the works, there would be some indication of it.

    I'm inclined to agree Raven... since all the activity here last month, nothing! Since then we haven't heard one clue, hint, or cryptic utterance from either oily, doc, or anyone..
    No trades, just wait for FA-time.

    I think there could still be a chance. It seems no one has made any huge trades yet. A lot of the players being speculated about are still in the same place. Maybe a mult-team deal (with or without the Rockets) may still be in the works. Who knows...I'll just be gald when it's all over....

    As Colby mentions, any trade we make would be just to free cap room. Walt and Los would be the prime candidates. I hope this happens. That will help the Webber sweepstakes.

    A lot of teams need help but are leery of upsetting team balance/chemistry.

    Come on, Miami, show us some love.
