    If I ever saw Hakeem in a Jazz uniform, I think I would cry... [​IMG]

    i don't care what you guys say. Russell and Marshall are two quality forwards who would fit the Rockets extremely well.

    i don't want to see Hakeem in a Jazz uniform any more than the rest of you, but if it means getting young quality players out of the deal, that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

    Marshall: 12.1 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 49% field goals
    Russell: 14.3 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 45% three pointers

    Why would the Jazz trade Donyell and Bryon Russell for Hakeem? Hell, I wouldn't even trade Bryon Russell for Hakeem straight up if I were the Jazz. I don't need to be shown why the Rockets would want that deal; show me why the Jazz would want to do it. Especially with the way Donyell is playing now.

    the jazz would do it to get a real center to make one last run at a title. hakeem would fit in well with the Jazz's halfcourt style of basketball.

    outlaw, maybe Hakeem would've been a big help 1-3 years ago, but now? For them to give up Donyell who has been playing well enough to be called their 2nd best offensive player this season AND Bryon Russell, it will take more than Hakeem. This would definitely be a case of subtraction by addition.

    Greg Ostertag is a parasite. I would rather have the entire Bulls' roster than Have Ostertag on this team.

    From sportingnews rumer mill.
    "The one position the Jazz would like to improve is center. They would love to get a center who can score, but there are few out there -- and the ones that may be available (Hakeem Olajuwon, for instance) are out of Utah's price range. They would have to give up far too much to the Rockets to get close to Olajuwon's $16.4 million salary".

    I know the possibilities are slim to none but can you imagine Dream playing along side Malone and Stockton??? Utah is one of Dreams ideal team, he wants to go to a team that gives older players lots of time to play, and Sloan is also similar to Riley somewhat...........OHHHHHHHHHH, I think i'm gonna puke.
    By the way let's say he does sign with them if we release him, would you boo him when he comes to town or not and will you root for the jazz in the playoffs?
