    Why not trade our exception plus fillers to Orlando for Mike Miller and fillers. The majic needs the money to sign Mo Taylor. They don't need Miller anyways coz they got Hill for sf and T-Mac. There is no sense for them to sign him coz I bet he will leave when he becomes a FA coz he will never get a starting spot with G. Hill in there. Houston likes him and he could start right away. The only problem is will getting Miller prevent us from signing Mobley? I don't think so? Can anyone give a better scenario where in both Orlando and Houstons wins in the trade.

    Sounds good to me. But can Steve, Shandon, Mobes, Walt, Miller and Moochie split playing time at 1,2,and3. I say that because u dont know whos playing what position sometimes on the Rockets. Steve might be tried a little bit at shooting. Mobes can play all three. Shandon can play small and guard. Miller and Walt can probably play small and a little off guard as well. I like Walt, but if our rotation included Steve, Mobes, Shandon, Miller and Moochie (just a little bit) that would kick ass. In just a few short years, Steve, Mobes, Shandon, nor Miller is going to be happy sitting on the bench late in the game.

    Dan Langhi = starting SF

    I didn't see him in your projections and I'm sold on him being our answer at SF.

    I think the only possible trade we have with Orlando will be for Bo Outlaw. Other than that team I can't think of any other teams right now. But remember we have the exception until October. I believe we are the only team with that much room, Pacers will lose theirs soon. I think this season will be the last for a few Houston players. Dream will retire, I also think Matt Bullard and maybe even Carlos Rogers may think about it. Just an opinion.

    langhi was voted SEC PLAYER OF THE YEAR in a conference including the likes of Mike Miller and Stromile Swift. That says a lot.

    I'd like to see if the Rockets can get 1 of the many first round picks the Magic have owed to them, I beleive they have 9 1st round pick owed to them in the next 4 years. I'd like to see the Rockets stockpile as many 1st round picks as they can for next years deep draft.

    I think the position will be a little crowded with yet another small forward. I do like Miller though. We could get Miller and try to trade Walt. Then Miller and Langhi could battle for the starting spot.

    I do believe that Langhi can be the answer at small forward, so I would rather try to shore up the power forward spot.

    I just love the match up problems Langhi can create with his height and apparent skills. Before the RMR I was concerned that he may not be quick enough to guard top notch 3's, but I don't thick it will be that big of a deal. In fact, with his height and long arms, he can play back a little on defense and still get a hand in the shooters face.

    Langhi may fit this team better than Miller, less turn overs and better FG,
    besides, Langhi demands ball less.
    I would have drafted him over Miller at 9, if I had known he can play like this.

    Yeah I think that would be a good trade. I dont see how Orlando plans on using Miller when they got Hill and Mcgrady. Maybe they want him to come along slowly, but Miller is no high schooler. In fact he's a very smart player that is ready to play in the NBA, so there's really no reason to bring him along slowly like Portland did with Jermaine Oneal.
