I'd hope we could do better than this.

I boggled my mind trying to figure out why would Houston do this.

I'd like to make a play for Kyle Lowry who's being shopped...

I actually like this deal. It leaves us a little short handed at the point, with only Ivey and Bell, possibly Sessions once he's healthy. But it gives us a SF who plays defense and can also provide scoring knowing that he's not the #1 option and accepting that fact. Adding Scola would give us one of those "where in the world is (Bucks player's name) from?" with Illyasova, Bogut, Scola, and Yi. Thats not the point about him tho, hes quite good being his first year in the league. Him and Landry would give us two guys to back up Yi and be more physical than Yi is.
The best part is, we are giving up two guys that want to be focal points in an offense and recieving three players who understand their role. If we would not have to give up any picks in the deal it would be even better. I've been trying to do a Bucks-Rockets deal for awhile now involving Landry, Head, and Battier or Alston for awhile and i really like this one. If there's some way we could add Head to help out the PG situation as well by adding Ruffin + future second round pick to the deal i would be all for it. It works in trade checker too.
Might have to make a secondary trade as well to get rid of either Simmons or Mason because we would be really deep at SF and have too much money invested there. I hear Dallas could use a swingman after today's trade.
OT: You should change the title to TI: Houston and Bucks so that no one gets confused and thinks a trade actually happened.

Not possible because of Mo's BYC status. Also kind of pointless considering how desperately the Bucks need major rebuilding. Mo is one of the few assets Bucks can use to unload Simmons and/or Gadz, CV is the other. Redd makes too much already for any team to also accept Simmons or Gadz as a throw-in, whereas Yi and Bogut are the rebuilding chips.

Trade Mo to the Heat for Ricky Davis (versatile SF) who could start straight away, and then move someone (anyone) to Portland to get Jarret Jack who is being shopped.
Jack wouldn't cost the team as much but showed he could handle starting when given the opportunity last year. It would also give the team more financial flexibility in the future as Jack wouldn't cost as much as mo, nor would Ricky Davis.
PG. Jack
SG. Redd
SF. Davis
PF. Yi/CV
C. Bogut
Isn't too much of a downgrade from what we have currently.

Mo is no where near a good enough asset for another team to take on a bad contract unless they feel that player would have some value. With the above mentioned deal, I see the Bucks fleecing Houston in a major way and don't see them ever making this deal.

Sorry because I don't know all the BYC rules, but in trade checker it said that the trade was successful. So I'm wondering if the trade checker is imperfect or if there is some other circumstance that wasn't taken into account. I know these questions are usually best answered by GAD, but if coolhandluke121 or xTitan knows then I would be happy to hear.

No way rockets do this trade.
Scola is the rockets starting PF and Landry is the backup PF. If you think replacing him with CV will make Rockets better then pass me what ur smoking. If you think Rockets will make a trade that doesnt make them better when theyre 32-20... again, pass me what your smoking. Start the tanking threads already.

What a retarted trade for Houston. You do know Houston has a glut of point guards, including two that are permanently benched: Mike James and Steve Franchise.
Now you want to take away Houston's two best PFs and give them a lazy PF named CV that won't defend?
Wow, this is laughable.

You are also getting back two smart players and getting rid of two dummies in Mo and CVill. That alone is addition by subtraction.
Carl Landry is gonna be a Star. I love the deal. It is a mastermind deal.
Houston would get back two players Adelman could use in an up tempo attack and some versatility and depth.
I would actually like to get back the first guy who I begged the Bucks' not to let go before they traded Ray Allen ...Rafer Alston.
Skip has turned himself into one of the best lesser known PG's in the entire NBA from when he was here. He dishes, he guards the ball and he can now hit that open 3-ball.
He sees the floor well and can play in the open court and in the half court game as well.
This is the first mistake the Bucks made when everyone fell in love with Sam Cassell who threw games to get out of here and get a new contract as well and every Bucks' fan in their lovefest for him seems to forget.
We still have not replaced that until we got Ford and then we traded him away as well!!!
Two true point guards Terrell Brandon Rafer Alston and TJ Ford that you are all crying about right there are gone right there...
Before that it was Eric Snow. So we had our chances. And before that we traded Quinn Buckner! What is with this organization? When left Jay Humphries alone he won.
So I don't know? But I like this trade...But we need a Star. I would rather have McGrady but that is a pipe dream.
