    I dont know if this would be a good trade, but would you ponder it? I got this post from a dude on NBA WIRE.

    Utah Sends Raul Lopez and Andre kirlenko
    Houston sends Steve Francis and Eric Piakoski
    Caroll Dawson The rockets GM is considering that!

    What?


    But no, I wouldn't do it. The talent doesn't match up...the Rockets lose on this one. And as biased as this may seem, I like SF better than AK47.

    MAYBE....and thats if they send us arroyo instead of lopez

    some people dont realize what a physical specimine we have at pg. hes certainly worth more than that. 47 is really good but not worth our all star starting pg.

    I would pull the trigger in a heartbeat.

    Put ak at the three and pick up charlie ward from phoenix (if he gets cut). Lopez is a pretty good point guard. We would definitely fill some wholes there.

    I would shoot myself in the groin before making that trade.

    Guess what: Scott Layden tried the ex-Utah player approach; it doesn't work.

    Yeah, he's considering it, and he called up his buddy Stevefrancis34 on some obscure message board and told him to post it in order to gauge fan reaction....

    I would ponder it for a minute, then I would slowly stick my hand in a running blender.

    If Lopez hadn't gotten the 2 knee injuries and if they threw in a couple of future 1st round picks as well I might consider it.
    But I don't want to trade Francis. We need to add players who can complement the current players right now to make us stronger.

    compared to kirlenko, everyones a looker :p

    but seriously though, i dont know of one team who wouldnt be improved with ak47 on their team. hes a hustler. what would you guys be willing to give up for him realisticly??

    and now no one can include mooch in any deal! there goes half the ridiculous suggestions right there

    hes def worth mobes and boki. bare minimum at least....

    I wasn't comparing him to AK47 :)
    I dunno.. I don't like the sound of Mobley going to another team.. :(

    I'm with ann...Mobes and maybe Boki for AK47 would be great, but I'd be willing to come off of JJax too instead of Nachbar if they insisted. No Francis though.

    Note, the initial trade proposed makes absolutely no sense salary wise, though...

    Francis for Kirilenko, Harpring and Lopez does work :D Cross your fingers.

    JayZ -
    You have no idea how I hate doing this but Utah is way under the cap. It works cap wise. But it surely doesn't work common sense wise. :D
