Who/what can you trade Head for and why is he/it more useful to Rockets than Head?

I don't know why there is all the hate on Head. He isn't even that bad of a defender. Anyone that can shoot 40% from 3 and not be a complete dud on defense will always find work in the NBA.

And people don't realize. Barry isn't going to be here forever, and if Artest is gone after this season (which is a realistic possibility), then we are back to Head being the main backup behind Tmac next year. And you want to get rid of that? And keep a guy (Harris) that has 4 guys in front of him, at least 3 of which will definately be here next season?

 

The reason I chose Nash is because that team is falling apart. It could still work.

 

Generally teams don't do 4 for 1 trades unless the 4 are all young prospects. The Barkley trade was a good example. They aren't going to want Head and Hayes.

 

You mean, you think the Suns are about to begin the West's equivalent of the Heat? Makes sense, I suppose, given heat's relationship to the sun.

 

You don't think the Suns are posied to become the West's equivalent to the Heat. do you? It might be somewhat logical, given the Suns becoming a tad older last season via trades, as well as from a scientific standpoint....heat's relationship to the sun and all.

I don't know that they're going to fall quite that far, though; I'm not sure that's what YOU'RE saying, either.

 

Oops.

 

Well Dantoni knew it was coming and got the hell out. They are really missing Marion right now also. You know as soon as Shaq gets injured and everyone knows its going to happen that team will be much easier to beat then they used to be. They just aren't as athletic anymore. I don't think they will turn into the Heat this season but you never know, the new coach and Shaq are all huge factors on the fall of a franchise.

 

Um.......if the Suns did this, they have no intentions of winning and they are basically going into full rebuild mode.

 

As far as Luther Head goes, he's a role player. There are a LOT worse players in the NBA than him, so get off his back. The smartest thing the Rockets can do is try and get a solid 7 footer in here, especially if Deke retires. Size is still important in todays NBA and if somehow they can get a big for cheap or maybe catch a team trying to dump an underacheiver(sic?) who still has potential and the size we need ( any suggestions) or maybe a player who has grown tired with his team and visa versa( Brad Miller, Lorenzen Wright,). I don't know the exact answer to acquire a big with height, but there is one out there.

 

They need to rebuild, they lost to San Antonio in 5 games. Horrible team right now.

 

When you rebuild you don't trade your 2nd best player for scrubs. Rafer and Steve aren't young, Head and Hayes are role players at best. No great prospects, no draft picks, not much talent.

 

Let them trade them to someone else, what do we care. I just want a solid point guard and back up center.

 

So since he's a LOT better than most nba players we can use him to get a solid back up center?

 

First on Steve Nash

No to being the next Dallas Mavericks...stinks of desperation just as they do for getting Shaq.

No to paying out the wazoo for an old player, I don't care how good he is, he's not going to get better or have some resurgance.

Lastly on Luther,

Trade for a first round draft pick that we gave away to Sacramento. Les might get himself under the LT and/or have more money to pay Deke with.

I'm not going to keep Luther just for some future back up plan just in case. If he has some value in a trade package later in the year if Ron Ron doesn't work out, then keep him until the trade deadline, but he has no basketball smarts.

 

If we could trade Luther for a guy that would be in the rotation, we would do it no question. But the fact of the matter is, we can't. I say wait for the trade deadline and try to deal him to a team that finds it needs more outside shooting. Until then, he's the insurance policy and he would also get minutes as the new Steve Novak (guy we put in for offense when nothing else works).

And if we keep him its not exactly a bad deal. Remember, Artest and Barry could be gone/suck next year. If that happens Head would be the backup 2.

 

The problem with Kidd and the Mavs was that the Mavs expected Kidd to score. We don't really need a scorer we need a passer that can close the deal. I'm not saying that it even has to be Nash but I just think that he had the best chance of getting here in Houston since the Suns seem to be on their way out. And I think Nash has at least 2-3 good years in him, just enough to get us 2-3 championships. In my opinion Yao, Scola, TMac, Artest, and Nash on the floor is just about my dream team. Of course Chris Paul would be nice too.

 

Hayes/Head/Francis for Barbosa

 

For the past two seasons, we play UTA in the post season game, maybe head is just not comfortable with such physical team.

The chance to face UTA this year is small, if Artest having his best season. Will head still choke when facing other team?

 

i hope you get banned.

yeah.. lets get kidd and nash for a bunch of our trash..

 

Yeah, but where are you going to get the money? Follow the money. Nash is getting 12.2 mill this year and will make over 13 mill next if he picks up his option. You have to dump part of our core to get him. Yeah, you can keep T-Mac, Yao, and even Ron Ron, but you at least have to lose both Shane and Rafer to even get close to his contract. I want an upgrade at point, but it still leaves us with same questions at backup.
