Evermore · Post #1 » by **Evermore** » Tue Jan 26, 2010 2:29 am

Suns outgoing: Amare Stoudemire
Suns incoming: Emeka Okafor, David West

Rockets outgoing: Tracy McGrady, Carl Landry
Rockets incoming: Amare Stoudemire, James Posey

Hornets outgoing: Emeka Okafor, David West, James Posey
Hornets incoming: Tracy McGrady, Carl Landry

Case for Phoenix: They re-create their frontcourt for a post-Stoudemire world with potential all-stars Okafor and West...

Nash/Barbosa
Richardson/Barbosa
Hill/Dudley/Clark
West/Frye
Okafor/Lopez

Case for Houston: They bring in a franchise PF to play alongside Ming creating one of the best starting lineups in the league...

Brooks/Lowry
Ariza/Posey/Budinger
Battier/Ariza
Stoudemire/Hayes
Ming/Scola

Case for New Orleans: They dump longterm salary obligations while bringing in a young PF to rebuild with alongside Paul. McGrady's massive expiring contract clears approx. 23 million from their payroll after this season...

Paul/Collison
McGrady/Brown/Peterson
Wright/Stojakovic
Landry/Songalia
Diogu/Gray

Rockets basically declines anything that involves taking back a bad contract + sending out Landry/Brooks. You pick either one and it better be pair with an allstar.

For reasons that you're unwilling to share at this point?

1. Posey's contract is horrible, it ruins our cap flexibility
2. Stoudamire's defense sucks, and even if we have him, how do we know he is not going to leave
3. were giving up Carl Landry, which is hard for me to give up.

I'll say no right now,

but wait till the rockets lose a few more games.. i might change my mind

Nice thread title.

Terrible trade.

(Maybe it's just me, but doesn't everybody in the world know about Amare's allergy to defense?)

As an outsider to all teams, I kind of like this one.

Wake me up when Landry gets paid $17,000,000 per year.

(Oh wait. It won't ever happen. My bad. Landry makes $3 mill/yr., because our front office doesn't sniff glue.)

Carl Landry
2009-10 Statistics
PPG 16.4 RPG 5.50 APG 0.7 EFF + 16.72
MPG 27.4
$3,000,000 / yr.

Amar'e "Can I buy an apostrophe" Stoudamire
2009-10 Statistics
PPG 20.8 RPG 8.50 APG 1.0 EFF + 21.54
MPG 35
$17,000,000 / yr.

Trade him for Bogut. It would be fair.

Why does everyone talk Cap Flexability? Are we in the running for the big 3? Have I missed hearing Dwade and Bosh want to play in Htown or did Lebron Let it be known that he likes Houston??? No because we dont have shot at signing them. As it has been stated a hundred times Morey is looking for a Budding Star to go with Landry and Brooks. Anyone who thinks we are going to get a K martin or Iggy or Grainger without giving up some young player is Stupid. Our current team cant win it all and we need to make some changes. We are a one trick Pony that most teams have know figured us out. Morey will get us a superstar in the making what it will cost us is up for debate. Weather it is Landry, Scola or Ariza it is going to cost us someone. But I have said it before and I will say it again In Morey we Trust.

LeBron signing with Nets or Rockets (if we have room)? Obvious **** choice. Winning is important to legacy; Houston is one of the biggest markets in the US and is linked financially to China.

People have not been talking about Houston in 2010 FA because we don't have room yet; but we have POSITIVE value contract players who can be shipped away (Battier, Ariza).

Suns get good value but I can't see them taking on that much salary.
