Trade with Atlanta?

And why does Atlanta do this? Does their GM owe us a favor?

(edit: sarcasm alert! )

 

Atlanta trades:
PF Shareef Abdur-Rahim
C Theo Ratliff

Houston trades:
SF Glen Rice
C Kelvin Cato
PG Moochie Norris
PF Eddie Griffin

I like what this trade would bring to the Rockets and it is much more in the ballpark from Atl's perspective as well.

 

With the Robinson trade, I don't feel Atlanta is going to make any more major moves. That deal is addition by subtraction, clears plenty of salary room next season, and balances out their frontcourt scoring a little bit.

Essentially, SAR isn't going anywhere.

 

THat's right hoes!

no more SAR trades beeoyatch.

 

NugzFan - is that you? Did you move to Orlando?

I've got a trade for you:

Houston trades:

C Yao Ming (13.5 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 1.7 apg in 29.1 minutes)

Houston receives:
SF Grant Hill (14.5 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 4.2 apg in 29.1 minutes)
Change in team outlook: -8.0 ppg, -3.6 rpg, and +1.4 apg.

Orlando trades:
SF Grant Hill (14.5 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 4.2 apg in 29.1 minutes)

Orlando receives:
SF Glen Rice (9.0 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 1.1 apg in 62 games)
C Yao Ming (13.5 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 1.7 apg in 82 games)
Change in team outlook: +8.0 ppg, +3.6 rpg, and -1.4 apg.

TRADE ACCEPTED

 

Atlanta is shipping robinson for Terrell Brandon's expiring contract in that big 4 team trade. Since it seems they are going into deeper rebuilding and setting up cap space for next year, maybe dangling Rice's expiring contract would be even more enticing to them.
