Yes he did. I wouldnt want a Baron trade by itself. If we could get Carter and Baron then I would be thrilled.

I was hearing about a 3 team deal involving the Clips, Rockets, and Warriors. Baron to Houston and McGrady to the Warriors would be the main pieces.

Chris Broussard however was just on ESPN saying that this deal was going nowhere. It's basically just the Clips trying to find a way to unload Baron.

Houston supposedly isn't interested in taking on Baron's contract and they aren't interested in giving up McGrady's 23 million expiring 2010 contract.

Chad Ford: (12:29 PM ET ) They have spoken with a lot of teams about adding another guard now that TMac is out. But I think it will be a small deal ... not the bigger deals they were working on earlier in the week with Vince Carter and Baron Davis. Their best trade bait is Ron Artest's expiring contract. But I'm told, with TMac out, they'd prefer not to move it. Instead, Carl Landry may be the bait.

Stein also said the Rockets-Baron deal was dead.
