    That would be a weakness. Yes...we would only have Yao. And if he got injured? Or reached a wall?

    WELL IT WOULD NOT MATTER.

    Steve Francis and Ray Allen...SHOOTING LIGHTS OUT. The Bucks are doing it now...

    Okay. Francis would mourn a little bit...but no one cried when Kenny Thomas left. They just said goodbye.

    I THINK THEY WOULD GRATEFULLY AND CONTENTLY WELCOME RAY ALLEN. God...I would.

    Interesting! And we would unload 2 of our most ill-advised contracts! I hope the player to be named later is a low post player.

    Hehe....must be good friends.

    Spelling.

    Anyways. Get rid of those two big contracts. Get Ray Allen. Then pick up a solid power forward in the offseason. That sounds great to me. DELICIOUS.

    Does the NBA even allow trades to include a player to be named later, I thought that was only baseball. And If Chris Wragge is really your friend, wouldn't you at least know the first letter of his last name?

    Man, I gotta get Yao on my 2K3 team, but I don't have the modem to download him.

    let's please keep Eddie. He's 20 and I think like Kwame Brown could really become a star

    heh...I created Yao...his rating is 109. :) Rookie of the Year. But mine is a tad bit fatter and faster....all 99.

    ANYWAYS.

    That Shareef Abdur Rahim thing?

    And about a player to be named. It hasn't been official. They aren't letting the Rockets choose. THIS IS JUST A RUMOR. But I hope they do it...

    Steve Francis
    Ray Allen
    James Posey
    Shareef Abdur Rahim :(
    Yao Ming

    But anyways...I bet all the thousands of message boards around the world are dreaming like us...

    1) No one's concerned about Allen's huge deal and bad ankles?

    2) The longer Clutch is away, the better it sounds.

    3) Read my post on page 2. The deal does not make sense for the Bucks who are WINNING and are ABOVE the luxury tax threshold. What WOULD tip the scales is if we did Mobes and Cato for Allen, and ALSO swapped Anthony Mason for Mo Taylor. This way, they stay at the same cap level, but they are younger and have a better frontcourt compliment. Of course, they'd have to send us a pick in THAT deal, most prbably the one Atlanta owes them.

    Yeah, did you guys here Aldridge on ESPN. Hawks offered Shareef for Griffin. But the Rockets rejected based on EG's potential.

    NBA2K3:
    I created a Yao too, but mine doesn't look too much like him. I wanna Download the Yao that Sega has made available through the modem.

    Yes. It is pretty impossible. But we can at least dream about it.

    You are right. Why would they give up Ray Allen?


    And man...his ankles. He's not dead though.

    He's still probably better than Mobley.

    Tom Petty was right... the waiting is the hardest part.

    Impossible to get Rahim and Allen. They both make the max. Combined, they'd make around 30M a year. It's already a big no-no to have undeserving MAX players on your team these days, but 2? That would basically kill our chances in other trades.

    And add that with Steve Francis.

    Screw it.

    I WOULD WAIVE ALL OF OUR PLAYERS.

    Man...Steve and Ray and Posey and Shareef and Yao could dominate...:(


    Anyways. Nothing is going to happen. I bet 20 dollars on that.

    I was only saying to include Gadzuric (or Haislip plus maybe Sampson) with Allen if we included Griffin with Cat and Cato--I think some missed that. Also, Gadzuric is 25, I don't think anyone thinks he has the upside of the 20 year old EG nor is he as good of a defender/rebounder as Cato--but he would be a suitable back-up C that we lose in Cato.

    Also, I don't want to get rid of EG--but the prize here is Ray Allen. I think the way he moves w/o the ball, the fact he is great pure shooter, and fact he is a good passer, the fact he is very calm, maybe even the fact (at least according to the Big Dog) that he doesn't feel like he needs to be the man all works in making him a great compliment to both Francis & Yao--even if Milwalkee need more from him (for him to be that unquestioned leader and center of the team).

    Thus if Milw wanted EG, Mobes and Cato for Allen + then I would demand at least including 2/3 of their rookie C/PFs, starting with the one most ready to play right now--Gadzuric. If EG provides the key grease for Milw to move, and Gadzuric plus either Haislip or Sampson helps us lesson the blow from losing EG (and Cato) I really think about doing this trade.

    Ray Allen = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    Yes. He makes a lot of money. But he can help the Rockets get the $$$.

    He is $$$. Man. He and Steve Francis is awesome.

    I'm just mad about the Rockets' rejection on Eddie Griffin for Shareef Abdur Rahim.

    Anyways...I have a question. Can Ray Allen dunk? I have never seen him dunk...it would be nice to have him and Francis alleyoop and stuff.

    Mobley's a good shooter. Allen's an even better shooter.

    I just hope the Rockets make a good trade....or stick with their already fine time. :)

    Sorry for posting too many times. I got too excited. ;)
