What's the problem? u think JJ is more important to us then a Center?

I don't think he meant that. I think he means people throwing out random trade ideas that have crazy bad odds of happening. Like people making 3 team deals with 12 players, like what are the odds that happens?

Probably more about the fact there would be no point for Houston to do that.

Nothing is 100% guaranteed, all i did was to suggest a realistic way we could bridge the gap if Camby really isn't willing to take the Vet min for a year. that remark added nothing of value to the discussion.

Why not? JJ is in a nice small contract. they need to fill their roster. it's better then just let Camby walk for nothing.

His mind obviously isn't made up yet, which isn't a good thing for us, IMO.

How?

We do a S&T with the Rockets, we send them JamesJones (sorry buddy) and they send us Camby on a 2 or 3 years contract for 2Mil$ per year. it works.

You're assuming they would want james jones. We'd have to throw in a future pick and if anybody, I'm thinking we trade miller. JJ wants to retire here

Nobody wants Miller or his contract right now.

Tim Reynolds ‏@ByTimReynolds
AP: Ray Allen is staying in Miami overnight, as talks with Heat continue.

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt
Veteran F Rashard Lewis, bought out by the Hornets after coming in Okafor/Ariza trade from D.C., will visit Miami this weekend, per source.

Sonics reunion tour!

Between these two and beating the Thunder I think Seattle might be the only area in the entire country outside of South Florida that would cheer for us :lol:

Yea JJ would just retire. Also Houston would laugh at that offer. If anything we would need to trade UD and then still Houston would laugh at the offer and thats not even counting loyalty

If I was DWade, I'm already setting up the guest bedroom for Ray Ray. I'm sure he's talking to Ray about everyone in the Heat organization, the city, beaches, schools, etc. Little things like that go a long way. 8-)

Please come to Miami Ray!!!

After Ray, Pat better be on a jet to Houston for the Camby sweepstakes.

HA! Miller's contract doesn't even look that bad compared to what others are getting.

Here is the Miami recruiting trip video. It starts up with Wade doing some recruiting at the 2 minute mark. However, the trip really becomes great when a couple of locals show Ray around at the 8 minute mark. 8-)

Why would you pay for a guy who is falling apart? He has no value right now, he can't play D, he's constantly injured, he hobbles around the court, and his shot is inconsistent.

Swindle · Post #114 » by **Swindle** » Fri Jul 6, 2012 12:37 am

I don't get why people are so sure Ray is going to Miami. This Lamar Odom all over again. We can't afford Ray. To me it just looks like his people are creating rumors of interest so he can get a 3 year no trade clause contract out of Boston. He already has a ring. He just wants stability.

Well if he doesn't sign with us it won't shock me.. I mean, some free agents this year pulled out, out of nowhere. lol Nash was suppose to go to Raptors, or Knicks, suddenly he's a Laker. Kidd was suppose to re-sign with the Mavericks, bam to the Knicks.

They wouldn't be paying for miller, they'd be paying for a draft pick and dumping a guy who's older than miller

But that guy who is older than Miller is much more valuable than Miller. Miller's contract isn't even expiring and would have 3 more years for a guy who wouldn't even be able to play. It would hurt Houston's financial flexibility to take on a guy like Miller.
