I guess I was guess I was high on the GS winning streak. Arenas looked great and so did the rest. Looking back on this trade right now, looks stupid.
No. why we don´t trade Rudy? It´s easier than trade all these players. Look at Philly. There, they should be worried. Look at his team.Well, now I say they will be finalists. THE COACH! ----------------------------- GASOL, RAUL Y YO Wait a few years and I will be the next rookie of the year, the next Pau. If Houston take me i coul be the franchise player
Francis needs to move to the 2, but bringing in Arenas (IMO a poor man's steve francis) is not the answer...
Ok, I usually don't response to this kind of threads but I've been play my NBA lives, pulled some deals and is now well board so here goes MY TRADE Houston Trades Yao Rice MoT Moochie Posey(he's tradeable as a restricted FA) to Minnesota for Kevin Garnett Marc Jackson This gives Minnesota the cap space they want when Rice goes, a great players to develope as well as being a cash cow, a decent though streaky PF and 2 serviceable backup. It really gives Minnesota the space they need to make moves, though it does cost them one of the greates players in the game today but gives them the oppertunity to move past the first round. Houston Gets Well hell KG and Marc Jackson who is pretty good. So Starting Lineup Cato KG Nachabar/Tmo Cuttino Steve Bench Marc Jackson EG Tmo/Nachabar Hawk Tito I've already stated why it would be good for Min, but here's why its good for the Rox. We get that player that knows how to carry a team in the NBA which will lighten the load on Steve and hopefully help him to become is old self since all the media would stop harassing Steve for not passing. KG will be more assertive in the post which should help the team and it would make us a legitamit contender. It thins out our lineup, EG moved to the bench, we'll actually be able to develope our 2 sf.
KG, Francis and Mobley in the same team would be a disaster. Yao is a rockie and with good temper. He can tolerate it and keep quiet if nobody passes him the ball. Imaging KG's response if Francis and Mobley ignore him and keep shooting the ball.
Neither the Rockets, nor the GSW will make this trade. Yao is the biggest draw for the tickets right now, there is no way any team will trade him away. The GSW has three centers signed to long term contracts, they will have to play 2 centers at the same time.
How about this? S.Francis + C.Mobley + E.Griffin for G.Payton + Desmond Mason + Anthony Mason I think salaries should work out. This gives Houston Payton/Norris D.Mason/Hawkins Posey/Nachbar A.Mason/MoT Ming/Cato We get some veterans on the court and we get Mason who is a finisher. Hes still young and he is a decent shooter, hes no worse than Mobley right but hes more team oriented. This kinda screwing Milwaukee though but Francis + Mobley + Griffin is a lot of talent.
HELL No. Payton is 34. He's a good guard.....yeah. But I ain't payin him 14 million plus to fight with our players.... Desmond Mason would be nice though. ANTHONY MASON?!?!? Are you kidding? He is useless.....on offense. But I love how he shoots......it's hilarious to watch. But no way jose.
I think a trade of Francis, Mobley,Rice and Griffin might get us Arenas, Brand, Parker and Piatowski. They would work out better with Yao Ming.
You don't need a trade. You need a good back up point guard which can shoot. One recommendation, Carlos Arroy from Jazz. He got no future in Jazz because if Stockton returns next year, he will be fourth tier point guard. He got speed, good passer, shoot the ball fair well, and play good D. But he is in Jerry Salon's dog house because he speak Spanish and Jerry think he is cocky. (A cocky person does not like another cocky person). Rockets can just sign him for the minimum next year. He will, whether you want or not, replace Moch's position. Small gamble but may bring big prize. Part of resume: The guy score 24 points and dish out 11 assist against team USA last year in the World Champinship game.
Heh. And THEN SIGN JASON KIDD!!!!!! Jason Kidd Cuttino Mobley Glen Rice Elton Brand Yao Ming Whooooo...not really. I'm sticking with Steve...impossible. Will never happen.
The only way we get Jason Kidd is sign and trade, and we give them Francis. We don't have any cap room to sign free agents. Either Brand or Kidd Kidd Posey Rice Mo Yao OR Moochie Posey Rice Brand Yao
