    NO.

    Even though I know we get rid of Catonic, Rice and Mo.

    FIrst I dont want anything to do with Kurt or Tyronne (too fragile, undersized).

    Second, I do not want to get rid Cato for at least one more year till I see how much my Ming can stay on court ( more due to officiating versus his ability)

    I wouldnt do it, and I like Mo Taylor and am in no mood to see him leave the team. I think its dumb to sign a guy to contract of that size just for him to be traded before we see what he can really do, and contrary to what many on this board believe I believe that Mo is an important piece of this team!

    I'm with everyone else, why would we break up this team to recieve a worse set of players? If we traded all of that I would expect at least one big name player, maybe two.

    I guess some people have never heard of Jason Richardson.

    GS would be stupid(well, more than they already are) to do this, and Houston would be stupid not to.

    I don't see why Cleveland would do it either, but hey, that Paxson is a wild and crazy guy.

    Fortson,Hill,Boozer and Kurt Thomas all play the same position as so does Eddie Griffin. J-Rich on the other hand would be a excellent player to have on any team.

    No. Because if I could understand the intricacy behind this trade I'd be the Rockets GM.

    Can you have a 20 player trade without any big names being involved? Is that legal? Can you have a 20 player trade?

    First off, Possom is right, this is definitely a trade that favors houston, why would someone create a hypothetical trade here and not have it favor Houston. This was not would the other teams do it, but would you want to. Jason, Cat, Francis is an awesome three guard rotation. Baxter, Kurt Thomas will help man the five with Ming. Kurt Thomas will help the 4 a bit and we can pick up Mink Bateer who is a FA to help man the spot. You lose Cato's big contract and free up cap for Griffen Ming extensions in the future. Tyronne Hill has one year left in his contract as oppose to Rice's 2. Neither would contribute much anyways. Danyy Fortson is a great rebounding backup to Griffen.
    Golden State is not really stupid if they do this. They get a good four in return. They lose an awesome guard but free up more mins for Dunleavy. They solidify there 5 position with Mihm, get an ok back up 3 in Morris and get a 1/2 in Howard Eisiley. Again, you would have to be kidding me if you didn't want to do this, how can you possibly say we get a worse group of players in return, do you know which players Im refering to here? And to say you need a superstar in the mix, the best trade for hou doesn't involve us losing or getting stars, its getting good diverse players like this set.

    Francis Mooch
    Cat Jason Francis
    Boki Griffen Williams
    Griffen Fortson Thomas
    Ming Bateer Thomas Baxter

    This is a very good trade for Hou, if you would rather us target a three and lose a four, Then

    Rockets Trade :
    Mo Taylor, Glen Rice, Moochie and 2nd round pick

    Cavs Trade:
    Ricky Davis, Tyronne Hill, Nick Anderson

    Rockets Recieve:
    Ricky Davis,Tyronne Hill, Nick Anderson

    Cavs Recieve:
    Mo Taylor, Glen Rice, Moochie and 2nd round pick

    Rockets get a solid 3 and a back up 4/5 and a back up 2.

    Cavs rid themselves of Anderson so Wagner can thrive, They lose a great 3 in Davis but make room for Jumaine Jones and Darius Miles. They get thier starting 4 that will give them offense. They pick up thier starting pg for they have none right now except Bimbo Coles. As an incentive they get a 2nd round pick.

    Again the question is not will it work but would you do it, and does it seem like it would be fair.

    I WOULD MAKE THIS TRADE!!!!!


    Jason Richardson for the SG , Cat can be a backup

    this would resolve the backup SG problem...

    Mo Taylor leaving means Eddie can fill up the PF for years...

    and Fortson can move into that Position.. for the backup

    Boozer can play a backup C

    Collier had no use what so ever...Tito had potential but he seems like a turnover prone and we could sign tierre if Tito left maybe..

    Kurt Thomas aint bad...lol

    and thats my opinion..

    :D :D :D

    Kenny Thomas is always thrown into a trade mix. I myself feel we’re pretty lucky to have him. He always plays hard every time he is out there. Some of his moves to the basket are just great. If he’s not as good as other NBA player in potential, he make up in heart. We need heart on the Rocket, especially from a guy who is always overachieving. Rent the Rookie!!! :)

    Exactly. If GS actually offered this deal I would be just dumbfounded.
