Re: Trade Deadline Less than a month away. What to do?
Hopefully Houston can drop some of the garbage sitting on the bench. Maybe a McGrady blockbuster, but I doubt it.

Re: Trade Deadline Less than a month away. What to do?
Snyder would like trade
Quote:
Forward/guard Kirk Snyder, who has played in only nine games this season, said his agent has told Rockets general manager Daryl Morey that he would welcome a trade, though he stopped short of asking to be dealt.
"It's been a really difficult situation," said Snyder, who is in the last season of his contract. "Obviously I'm not playing so I can't really show other teams what I'm about, what I truly have. It's going to take a team to take kind of a gamble. From a business perspective, I understand that."
"If any other team is interested, we'd have to look at it as the best situation for myself and my family."
Snyder's agent, Chris Emens, said "several teams" have expressed interest in Snyder, but that there is not an offer in place for him.
"Without question, Kirk is interested in exploring any opportunity to get on the court," Emens said. "It does not appear that an opportunity with Houston as it stands now would be realistic. It's safe to say Daryl and I have discussed opportunities Kirk can be traded. Kirk is interested in playing basketball in the NBA. If being traded is the means to accomplish that, he would welcome that."
"Kirk is in a tough situation. He loves the city of Houston, loves his teammates and wants to contribute. The powers that be have decided he is not in their plans."
Morey would not discuss specifics of trade talks.
"We still feel Kirk is somebody that can help us in the right situation," Morey said. "Obviously, he's out of the rotation at this point. We still believe in his ability and him as a player."

LOL Snyder for Artest I would do that trade.
If he wants to get more play time I understand that and I would be okay with him going.
Truthfully though is anyone worried about our SG/SF position? I am only really worried about our PG position. Artest blew us up last game but that was because he was playing PF. We should have had Bonzi Landry too more agile players guarding him more.
PS while Landry missed alot of shots. He added energy to the team but he still only got 13 mins.

I like Snyder too. If he goes I hope he gets some burn.

Re: Trade Deadline Less than a month away. What to do?
The only way we get rid of our garbage is to include pieces like Chuck, Luther, or picks. Cassell answers your starting/backup PG role with offense too. Tim Thomas is a tweener SF/PF and can make a guy like Duncan have to come out to the 3pt line to defend or he will fill it up from out there.
You are right though, considering two first round picks was a bit much. Considering what I have proposed, I would make this trade because Snyder is never going to get a chance here Chuck was never the answer at PF and we now have Landry behind Scola and is Luther really such a huge loss with his tiny little basketball IQ?
If we need another shooter to open the floor up even more his name is Steve Novak! I'm just really thinking about any deals Houston could make now that aren't to crazy.

Who you want to put on Artest last night if you trade Chuck?
Matador Bonzi?
Slight Battier?
No D in Tmac?

Well, I think this is happening. Kirk wants out. We should package him with Mike James. Make it happen Morey.
