Re: Trade Rumors
I would do this trade right away. We get rid of two veterans and get two good role players. Peterson can do some D and shoot and Rafer is very good pass-first PG that we need. Our line-up would be crazy
Rafer Alston/Mike James/Luther Head
Tracy McGrady/Jon Barry
Morris Peterson/
Stromile Swift/Juwan Howard
Yao Ming/Dikembe Mutombo

Re: Trade Rumors
It would be an excellent trade for us. I can't see why Toronto would do it, though.
Doug Christie is not a great perimeter defender any more. But he's worth a LLE.

Re: Trade Rumors
I'm in favor of signing Christie if its just for the LLE, but trading both Sura and Wesley for Alston and Peterson would be killer chemistry for us. And chemistry was the only real reason we did as well as we did last year.

I always agree with you, but not the last part.
Alston will be a good guy if he is a rocket. Nothing can make him crazy in H-town.
man, this is the 2nd best trade in the rockets history.
Believe me, this trade makes Rockets defeat Spurs!

Insiders and your mom report that if Chicago fails to match, Babcock will pull the trigger on the Rox/Raps deal.
CD also mentioned signing Doug Christie to a short term contract with the guarantee that he will get paid mo-money once we've relieved our capspace of our expiring contracts.
Van Gundy's final depth chart has leaked as:
PG: Skip | Mike James | Luther Head
SG: Doug Christie | Jon Barry | Luther Head
SF: Tracy McGrady | Mo Pete | Ryan Bowen
PF: Stromile Swift | Juwan Howard
CN: Yao Ming | Deke

We need bob sula because of his impassion and reb. we can use james instead him. otherwise Christie is old.

WHO IS BOB SULA and what team does he play for? The "L" and "R" are nowwhere near each other on the keyboard. Just Kidding cloud!!!
Rumor now is Christie to D-Town and lets not forget that this thread was
originally by someones mom.
I think we can all agree that we need to make a few more changes but, CD is equally content to start this year with the team as it stands now unless he can pull off a 2 for 1 that will benefit the team.

thats what happens when a team lacks "talent". We're not dealing with Shaq & Kobe here nor are we dealing with the West 3/4 years ago.
An upgrade is ALWAYS a good thing

I know plenty of old timers and HOFer's that claimed defense in the late 90's and early 2000's weren't as good as the 80's. Wilt once said he'd average 70 ppg in the modern-day NBA because defenses were so much worse. Pippen once said KG was a stats guy who disappears down the stretch of games. Bill Walton once said Rasho was a better interior defender than Tim Duncan because Tim Duncan was on the bench at the time. Barkley once said Argentina was located north of the Indian ocean.
