    haha, same here. last night i suddenly thought if billups + yao + scola + battier + whoever (if not artest or von), this lineup will be sick

    Only one goal: champion

    I was feeling bad when i thought that given the fact someone turned down this trade :mad: :mad:

    Billups plus any scrub for T-mac would have been the greatest trade this year.

    Yup. He wouldn't have passed any physical for any trade.

    Donyell Marshall's TS% is higher than Yao's. :eek:

    I bet you are right on that one. If Morey had full control, I bet he'd have pulled the trigger on that one.

    Too bad you still have an owner that still believe Tmac can fly when he already lost his wings.

    Here was a recent exchange with Feigen on his blog:

    [rquoter]
    ...
    Another question is: did the rockets have a chance to get Billups when he was available in Detroit?
    Man, if he was a rockets......

    (No, they are not changing their starting lineup now. They had a chance to get Billups. There was something in the offer that made it a non-starter to the Rockets and at the time was non-negotiable. I don't know what it was, but there was only a brief conversation and Joe Dumars was not part of the call. -- Jonathan)[/rquoter]

    It also shows how great a game Anthony Johnson had...and Jamario Moon was spectacular when he was on the court! ;)

    EFF48M can be used to show Yao's dominance...

    Tmac is better because Tmac has missed zero shots this round. ;)

    You guys can't be serious in hating on Morey for not pulling the trigger on that trade...

    For one thing, it was just a rumor, who knows what actually went down.

    Secondly (and more importantly), at the time, the majority of us didn't think it was a very good a deal, either. There's no way Morey could have known what would happen with McGrady.

    this is exactly what i was thinking :( otherwise, we would have been on a better position and compare to Lakers. T-Mac always has mental problem which is a huge negative side to the success.

    Yes, and he hit the second biggest shot of the game in that Philly win.

    It's a well-known truth that rumors are facts.

    I'm curious how many more people will keep posting about the rumors when it's been pointed out that.. they were just rumors</b></b></b></b></b>facts.
