I figure it is going to start anyday know with Yao being injured. So any trade lets post it here.
I will start it out. Houston send C hayes and Luther to the Bobcats for Adam Morrison? Why we cut 2 contracts and would be able to sign a Big man to back Yao. Morrison is young enought to maybe develope into someone we could use to spell Tmac.?

Isn't it sad how I would rather have Hayes (undrafted) than Morrison (top 5 pick)?

Morrison is like a less injured prone Luke Jackson
he'll be lucky if he can be as good as half Mike Miller
Hayes is our best defender at PF
i'll rather play him than Landry if his mid range is not falling

I'd rather Landry start getting to the rim on backcuts again instead of camping around to show off his new jumper.

T-Mac can't get him the ball to dunk playing with one leg

Trade Yao for Okafor and Morrison. Trade McGrady for Ramon Session.
CHAMPIONSHIP!

i was thinking that IF hinrich was 5 mill, should we go after him.

i love the way he plays defensive, can kind off hit that three

pretty good passer

wadero · Post #11 » by **wadero** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 7:59 pm

Kirk Hinrich is making 10 mill this season!!

I would be very surprised if the Rockets made any major moves this season.

We just need to build chemistry and get ALL of our guys healthy. It sucks having McGrady playing on one knee, Yao is an foot injury waiting to happen and we still have not seen Battier !!! His return will be a HUGE boost for this team. Once he returns we will not be seeing Von Wafer play anymore and that alone will make a HUGE difference for this team.

Trade Rafer and Hayes for Hinrich and Simmons!

Get it done Morey

I wouldn't either. Morrison is trash.

Morrison vs. Danny Ferry, 1 on 1. Who wins?

Need to find some size. I think its unrealistic to expect Yao to play 82 games. And its not because he'll be injured..its moreso because he is gonna have to take games off to stay healthy throughout the season. We can't have a starting frontline of Hayes and Scola...thats just asking to be killed on the boards and scored on in the paint.

Gotta try to move Head for a big guy..even its a scrub. Just need a guy to be tall in the paint.

CHAMPIONSHIP!

Championship??? Not for us, with that lineup. In fact, we'd probably be a lotto team in the west.

5 - Okafor / Hayes / Dorsey
4 - Scola / Landry
3 - Battier / Morrison
2 - Artest / Wafer / Barry / Head
1 - Alston / Sessions / Brooks / Francis

Sessions is 6'3, 190. Not much bigger than Alston at 6'2 175.

Trading Yao and T-Mac after getting Artest (who was supposed to be our "missing piece") would be a lot like the Bucks trading Ray Allen, Glen Robinson, and Sam Cassell but keeping Anthony Mason.

Solution:

Just wanted to throw out there since everyone is disgusted with Yao and T-Mac... oh and Alston, he's by far the worst. :rofl:

Dec 15.
Landry,Francis,Rockets pay Francis salary to Indy for Jeff Foster'.
Scola to NY for Lee and Collins.
Head,cash to Minn for Rodney Carney.
Saves $749,000 in salary.

Yao,Foster
Lee,Hayes,Dorsey(Artest and/or Battier will get minutes at the PF)
Artest/Battier,Battier/Artest,Carney
McGrady,Barry,Wafer
Alston,Brooks,Collins

Find a team willing to take Wafer for a Second and Rox should be enough under Lux Tax to sign Deke for last 1/3 of season.
