    This would be fantastic. Hope you're right again, Rocket Rich.
    I spend a few minutes messing around with my music and the board just EXPLODES! It's pretty cool.

    someone said this "All in all I think its a pretty okay deal. Weatherspoon can be a decent backup big man. Makes me think another deal is coming soon to get us a better big guy and a pg."

    wow interesting... I think rocket03 said that last quote.. very interesting

    We're getting Zach Randolph and Eric Snow, what more do you want?

    I hope this trade is not true.

    I hope it is just that the other guy picked it up in the media and said it to RRYNC, but that it is still just the same "fantasy trade scenario" that was started by Chad Ford.

    That is a terrible trade. Zack Randolph is a bigger ball hog than well.... Mo Taylor. Zack doesn't play a lick of defense either. We better be getting an All-Star in return! I have been as critical of Francis as almost anyone on this board butI refuse to give up an improving Francis for a bunch of questionable characters. Portland has to make room for Miles, Abdur Rahim, and Ratliff. We DO NOT have to move Francis yet. There has to be a better deal out there!

    didn't zach have problems with maryjane and punching ruben patterson and underage DUI? Woods had issues with maryjane if i'm correct also? do we really need two headcases for the the price of one? although snow would be a good point guard to have.

    I think we should wait until the summer to make any major moves, but nobody every claims that the rockets management is smart.

    I wondered if it might be a salary-dump for Portland and/or Philly, so I looked up the salaries:

    Francis........9.96
    Pike.............2.46

    Randolph....1.17
    Woods........1.05
    Patterson....5.43
    Snow...........4.5

    Snow is signed through '08-'09. Patterson (and his rep) is signed through '06-'07 (player option year). So, they're long but not that onerous.

    i'm all for it, IF snow comes along too.

    randolph, snow, and woods sounds pretty damn awesome, imo.

    hey daoshi, is there any chance that, in your signature, you could not attribute a quote to me that i never said?


    thanks

    When you're a 20/10 man that shoots near 50%, you should be a ball hog but Zach averages 2.3 assists per game - 1 better than Mo. Patterson is a excellent backup or even a decent starter sf. Woods - ehh - pine rider. Snow I don't too much about except that from his stats he doesn't like the 3pter. I'm not sure about his range, but he averages over 7 assists a game.

    Can we do better? Maybe. Can we do worse? Yes.

    I'd rather have Rashard and Daniels or Allen and Berry!

    I don't like this rumor much..Woods being the X-Factor. Randolph is a horse though, he could end up being (well I guess he already is) Elton Brand's larger brother.

    Now if RRNY gets a two-way message saying the same, then I'll unlock Pandora's box of emotion.

    It's not only how portland perceives Zach, it's also about how they percieve SF. It's not bad deal for them Zach for SF. They are going to have SF, Miles, SAR,Ratliff, Stoudmire. that's a contending team.

    RRNYC, why don't you call your friend and try to verify what he meant when he paged you - did he just report the ESPN rumor or did he page you because he heard there is actually something going down?
