    you'd suprized how bad we could be defensively if our starting line-up stays as of today: Yao, Howard, Jackson, T-Mac, Lue also not a good rebounding team.

    i really like our front court player rotation last season: a physical player starting at 4 (Cato) and have Taylor provide scoring off the bench. we can do the same with Mohammed at 4 while we upgrade our back court. T-mac + Daniels will probably score 3-5 points more than Steve + Cat (37 v.s. 33) more importantly they're smarter and will share the ball and can protact the ball better.

    . T.E. + future 1st rd. pick to Settle for James + Daniels

    Not that it really matters, but James and Daniels salaries wouldn't both fit under the TE, so that deal wouldn't work.

    I would never Trade Juwan( who will suprise alot of people_ for Mohamad. as someone said earlier, this will deplete us at the PF Position bigtime. plus i think Juwan will have a descent year.

    they combined for around $7 millions per isn't it? our T.E. counts $6.9 millions in a trade. or make it two trades: T.E. for James and then 1st rd. pick for Daniels.

    Juwan'd be 32 entering the new season, we all know what he'd give us. don't be suprised if his stats drop a bit with the Rox. 15pt/7reb is my prediction. again, even at 32 he's still a better pf in this league and also might be a better player than Mohammed. what we really need, however, is a Cato-type big body to complement Yao's game. that's why JVG played his backup center at 4 and we all miss Cato's presense now. I believe many of the fans here would rather keep Cato than aquiring Juwan Howard as our starting 4. like I said earlier T-Mac + Daniels would be an upgrade from last year's backcourt offensively, we need to find someone who can help maintain our defensive game and rebounding ability at the starting pf position.
