[Y! Sports] Rockets, Knicks may be closing in on a deal

The question is maybe they are looking for another team for Harrington to take other player(s) - what ever it is, but in the end i think NY will then change its game plan to an even lower offer. They seem to want to change it not moving a future pick.

 

hes a bust. hes much more etan thomas than chris bosh.

 

Hill is only 21 years old, and he's a bigman which takes longer to develop.

 

People think all rookies need to bust out or something. Some guys take longer to develop, that's just how it is. Hill is getting 10mpg, it's not like he has a lot of time to showcase his talent or potential.

 

You gotta wait at least another year to call him a bust. Not half a season in his rookie season. :grin: Give the man time to fail.

^ After watching the Knicks vs Bulls - I hope it's the Bulls. I'm not sure a swap and a pick (which is in question) is worth taking those 3 (Jeffries, Hughes and Hill).

 

We are going to take the Knicks offer and it will include the 2012 pick. We are going to agree to that deal, then we are going to look to ship some combination of Hughes, Battier, Scola, Hill, and the picks for a big time shooting guard and a big man or possibly a mega deal with Minny for Al Jefferson and the rights to Rubio. There is a secondary trade or secondary trades coming after we agree with the Knicks tomorrow.

 

Hughes and Hill, we can't trade them together with other players. I don't know if Hill plus a first-round pick would net Rubio.

 

i wouldn't bet on it, but we will have to wait and see.

i think if we get hill and some picks, morey will want to hold onto those assets to see what they become before trading them away.

 

The New York Knicks are finalizing a deal to acquire Houston Rockets forward Tracy McGrady, an NBA source told SI.com.

The framework of the deal involves sending McGrady to New York for forward Jared Jeffries, guard Larry Hughes and forward Jordan Hill. The Knicks and Rockets have agreed to swap 2011 first round picks and the Knicks will send the Rockets their first round pick in 2012.

The only outstanding issues involve protection for the draft picks.

The deal could be completed as early as tomorrow.

i think there will be more than one trade made

 

I just don't want Larry Hughes.

 

Agreed, he is horrible, think Ariza but more selfish.

 

Morey and Walsh can agree on the deal and not complete it until the trade deadline, thereby giving Morey time to flip pieces such as Hughes and Hill along with some of his current pieces and create his 3-way or 4-way deal. I suspect they are going to agree and be bound to each other, but the deal is not going to be faxed in until Morey can exhaust all the secondary trade opportunities and mix up the pieces. See?

I stand corrected from earlier TV report: Knicks still have shot at TMac, source says. NY deciding on suitable protection on future picks.


yeah, good try spreading rumors about T-mac not playing.

 

Quick question, I know this was brought up earlier but I didn't see it answered (I haven't read every comment on every page though). Could we possibly trade one of the pieces we would potentially receive from NY to a different team before the trade deadline or because of the 48 hour rule we can't?

 

what? so you'd rather prefer no sharington?

 

I really think this might be a move to try and land Rubio on draft night. Morey really knows what he is doing.

 

If I read one more r****d state that the Rockets won't be ableto sign a big name in the offseason because of cap space or any other reason. I am going to find you and knee cap you tard monkeys!!!

LA HAS STATED MANY TIMES THAT HE WILL PAY THE LT FOR THE RIGHT PLAYER(S)!!!!!!!

HE WANTS TO WIN YOU MORONS, AND IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT NO TEAM THAT HAS WON AN NBA TITLE IN THE LAST DECADE HAS BEEN UNDER THE LT!!! THAT IS NONE OF THEM YOU MORONS, GET THAT???

SO STFU AND STOP POSTING YOUR CRAPPY IDIOTIC OPINIONS IN HERE, YOU'RE JUST INSULTING AND PISSING OFF THOSE WHO ACTUALLY HAVE BRAINS!!!
