    Our offer is much better than Chicago's for Denver.

    Deng, Gibson, Johnson and Picks?

    Deng has a terrible contract and the rest are nothing to write home about.

    We provide Kevin Martin, Jeffries, Patterson or Budinger and NY's picks.

    Martin is a bonafide 20 pt + scorer at the 2-guard which they need. He also plays like a better rip hamilton and will excel with Chauncey. Jeffries is Cap relieve and we give talent and youth and picks.

    I think Houston with Yao, Scola, Brooks and extreme depth is a better fit as well.

    Remember that Yao and Melo share the same agent and they play a much larger role than people think!

    You get roughly the same production out of Martin that you do out of Melo.

    And at half the price.

    No to Melo !

    Sorry, did you just try to say that Melo would play defense?

    Defense, spelled with a "D".....not Offense with an "O" but defense.

    ROFLMAO !!!!

    Oh, and we will be so far ahead playing team ball, that we won't need all those game winning shots......and if we do...AB is pretty successful at it, above the league average.

    "He might not be," would have been a decent response, but instead you decided to play pretend. Even in your own imaginary world you don't make a good Morey. ;)

    HorneR,

    He was speaking in a "KNOWN" manner so I just turned the tables to make a point.

    Obviously, neither of us know...

    I think it's common sense that Morey would at least make a call to Denver.

    Sammy,

    I know you want Melo, and I do not.....

    But I will concede he probably made a call.

    The funny thing is we have not heard anything about who Houston is offering, whereas everywhere else, offers are flying.....which could lead one to conclude they are not really offering anything.

    What does me wanting Melo have anything to do with it?

    But thank you for conceding as it's common sense that a GM of Morey's caliber would want to upgrade the team.

    We didn't hear any rumors about Artest, Lowry, and even Martin to an extent. It doesn't mean that it's not in the works.

    That is not what I said big guy !!! I said he probably called just to see....Morey is an asset grabber, but whether he thinks that Melo is that star chip or not is way way WAY up in the air due to Melo's inefficiency.

    True, we shall see, we shall see.

    Why don't you just go to the Rockets RR World Premiere Wednesday and follow Morey into the urinal, corner him and force him to tell you what or if he has offered to Denver. Then report back to us your findings, problem solved.

    P.S. Needs pics as proof or STFU about you knowing what Morey has or has not done.

    How about we all just wait to see what happens, and cheer for the team on the floor, whomever is on it?

    Never, which was 100% my point, you don't know, and I don't know.....you think he is after him, I do not.

    Let's just see what happens.

    Shouldn't you be on the Pistons boards now?

    With Dampier being waved and the huge trading chip he was now extinguished, we can rule out Hollingers suggestion of a deal centered around Brooks to Charlotte, Dampier to Denver and Melo to Houston.

    Thats unfortunate, because I thought that was a very advantageous deal for us.

    if he made a call, he's interested in acquiring camelo.

    and at the tmac dig, typical. thought a grown man would know better.

    Well looking at his date joined he was probably excited with the 22 wins in the row without Yao and decided to go with a tmac screen name. You post just about as much on a Spurs board? Hmmm a Spy in our presence?

    I post everywhere, but always loyal to the Rockets.....I seem to have acquired another DD follower.....welcome Rick ! Can I expect to see you following me around like some of the others?

    ;)

    LOL - you honestly expect people to forget your constant Tmac chatter during the last couple of seasons?

    Why not just request a name change?
