If we can get away with AB at pg i think we can do it with martin.like starting lowry.and next year will have the great wall. :grin:
In my opinion, there will be either no trade or a trade with NY to get under the LT. I could very easily see a TMac's expiring for Mobley + other expirings at the last minute that puts us right under the LT.
Hopefully they do more than a luxury tax deal. I would like the Iggy deal but a Butler deal is just as good.
As long as T-Mac is gone with minimal damage to the other guys on the roster, I'm going with the "Trading Tmac for other players" option. I don't care who we get.
I think this site is going to have a lot of traffic in feb.18 so many people will enter to see if any trade has made, and if the rockets did a trade, this place is going to get crazy!!
it seems like Butler Haywood trade is the biggest current at Clutchfans.net but i still think morey is going to come up with some surprising trade that will make us happy again for years to come.
I bet if you repost this same poll in 48 hours, the results will be completely different. How many more "insider" articles are we going to see?
Exactly. Skewed results. If you asked 2 or 3 weeks ago, it probably would have been Dalembert and Iggy. Fast forward to current rumors, Butler & Haywood are the hot names.
A 3-Way with the Knicks and Wizards. Washington does not want T-Mac, while New York seems to be all over his jock. Haywood may turn into McGee or Blatche (either one in reality would suffice for the Rockets, one is expiring, while the other two are very young and have potential with low salaries). Kings: Aren't interested in anything from the Rockets, especially for Martin. 76ers: The Suns look more intriguing to them, and they probably would settle for Amar'e fairly easy. Besides, if they end up with T-Mac, this summer ...it's not a guarantee they'll get Amare, Bosh, LeBron, or Wade...especially the last two. While, the Suns will probably take Dalembert and AI with no problems. Heat: ????...anyone, but Wade, maybe. They'd take T-Mac, but Houston would likely have to add a combination of Scola (or Landry), Battier, or Lowry...if we were to get any deal including Beasley.
If history has ever told us anything about The Wizard, its to expect the unexpected. Therefore, I expect a surprising trade.
it is going to be some deal that no of us is even thinking about. Some guy who sitting on another team not getting any playing time or he is in a bad sytem ,and we will all be like what the hell after the trade is reported and this new player will wind up like Lowry!!!!! In Morey i trust!!!
There is always the possibility that we are being led down the garden path! The Rockets management realizing they made a bad mistake in respect to McGrady. They have lied to us several time about all the goings on, Morey is as sly as a fox and we might still have McGrady on the books on Feb.19th. as McGrady has become untradeable, due to the way he has been painted by us the fans and his team management. Funny enough there is also the possibility that the sly Morey might surprise us all with a superb addition to our team- let's hope so!
