http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=mc-afterthebuzzer011510&prov=yhoo&type=lgns Quite the opposite about NY and Hill from a previous report. We shall wait and see!!
I want to see Mac playing somewhere. But, it looks like it's a waiting a game. Maybe his contract expiring is the option that is most likely? Most of the names mentioned are nothing special. And it's understandable that Chi wouldn't want to part with Noah.
He makes loose change compared to McGrady. We'd have to take awful contracts to get him, making him less worth it. I still say Dalembert's the best choice since he'd come with Iguodala!
That's interesting. If that's the focus, maybe the Rockets aren't as high on Scola-Landry-Hayes as I thought.
Also shows the confidence in Morey being able to land Bosh before the deadline. Damn I hope the Lakers don't get lucky a second time around. I think he sees the opp to get a talented big to stash and develop while Scola gets older and Landry makes his way to getting big pay day cash in Free Agency.
im sure dm is aiming at dalembert+iggy+speights for tmac. they might say yes to just iggy+dalembert but speights added in would be a really sweet deal
He's the guy I would peg to be leaving also. Or at least the one the Rockets are most willing to trade.
man, it's the same thing over and over, rockets are interested in trading tmac to bulls or knicks, but deal is not immenant...
The more and more I heard things, I kept pointing out that Morey has his eyes set on acquiring a PF.(Stoudemire, Bosh, Randolph, Hill depending on which story you read, Noah, anyone else I missed?) Sorta interesting that the ones we have now dont seem destined to be here in the long term as durvasa and xiki sorta pointed out.
Now that Tmac is gone, Yao is the man in Houston. So I guess getting him help inside is priority #1. And like most of you have said, it doesn't seem that the org. thinks Scola or Landry is that guy.
I hate to base to much off of one comment but when Morey was asked on the radio what he thought about Scola's future here his reply was basically "just enjoy the ride while it lasts" like they don't have plans for him after this season. He's the guy I see most likely gone in a trade scenario if the Rockets have anything to say about it although I suspect most teams would prefer Carl or Aaron.
Chris Bosh, Marco Belinelli and Amir Johnson + Rocket option of swapping draft positions in one of the 2010, 2011 or 2012 drafts for T-Mc and Carl Landry. If Morey made that trade, we would be in great shape. Yao / Andersen / Johnson Bosh / Scola / Hayes Budinger / Ariza Belinelli / Draft Choice Brooks / Lowry
In all honesty, I can see Philly trading us Thaddeus Young. Wish we could get Jeff Green from the Thunder.
