Trade Deadline Less than a month away. What to do?
With the trade deadline around the corner, what do the rockets do? I know some of the mods are going to get peeved at me but, I will keep my "Trade TMAC NOW!" initiative going until he wins a playoff series or he is gone.

Rod Thorn, meanwhile, is in a tough spot. He would prefer to trade Vince Carter, according to GMs around the league, but Carter's contract is very unappealing. And if he trades Kidd, it would mark the start of a major reconstruction job, because the teams that want him most -- Dallas, Cleveland and the Lakers -- aren't willing to carve into their nucleus to acquire Kidd.
|
Here it goes. With New Jersey now open to trading Kidd and wanting to trade Carter this is my proposal.
Houston Trades: TMAC/Battier/MJames/Francis/#1 pick 2008
NJ Trades: Kidd/VC
The only major loss for Houston is really Battier. We would lose our lock down defender on the perimeter.
Before you say it, I know Jefferson and Battier are SF's but, Jefferson is a pretty big SF so, he can also play some PF when both are in the game together.
What are some other trade options? |

Find someone that wants Snyder and/or James.

Find someone who is stupid.
Kevin McHale, I'm looking your way.

They can keep Vince Carter, "Half-man, half-hearted"..i don't want him. It's bad enough we have his softy cousin, Tracy McLady..aka T-Pain..

Re: Trade Deadline Less than a month away. What to do?
Damn, my bad, didn't realize VC has 3 years remaining. I was initially looking at him as a temporary replacement for TMac's offense. Not for 3 more years and at the expense of Battier.
How about bringing Boki and Wright in with Kidd. We can keep Battier.
TMac/James/Francis/Snyder/1st and 2nd round 08 picks for Kidd/Boki/Wright
I think Boki would fit well in Rick's offense. (ala Peja) NOT SAYING HE IS AS GOOD AS PEJA though.
Cornholio - We give up our 1st and 2nd round picks because we are giving them James and Snyder. 
Thoughts???

Re: Trade Deadline Less than a month away. What to do?
You can put me with the people that don't want T-Mac traded.
...and there IS someone that wants Snyder, apparently:

Like all teams, the Cavs have been engaged in trade talks ahead of next month's deadline. According to two different league sources, the Cavs have inquired about Houston Rockets wing Kirk Snyder, who is out of coach Rick Adelman's rotation, and Portland Trail Blazers point guard Jarrett Jack. Nothing appears imminent.

Re: Trade Deadline Less than a month away. What to do?
Kirk for a Cleveland's second round pick maybe? I just don't see anyone on that team that could help us? I also wouldn't trade for anyone that wasn't an expiring contract either. Interesting.

Re: Trade Deadline Less than a month away. What to do?
I want Kirk to stay because he can really score off the dribble. At the SG/SF spot we have TMAC & Wells who can really penetrate. Novak Battier Head are allspot up shooters.
Next season Wells contract ends. SO we are only left with TMAC (if he isnt traded) So Snyder will be a good addition.

I can appreciate that. Fine replace Snyder with Head in my scenario.

Re: Trade Deadline Less than a month away. What to do?
Other than trading Kirk Snyder, Mike James, and Steve Francis, I doubt we will make any big move. Relax, (or keep worrying?) we are not going after any big name.

Re: Trade Deadline Less than a month away. What to do?
Bring'in this thread back around since we are getting closer to the deadline and some trades have gone down that impact the Western Conference.
With Houston now is a 3-way tie with GS and Denver for the 7th or 8th playoff spot I was thinking we are in a pretty good position now to get one of those spots. That being said, PG in the playoffs is still an issue. Not comfortable if AB is on the playoff roster.
Trade thought:
Houston Trades: James/Francis/Snyder/Hayes/Head/1st and 2nd round picks 2008
Clippers Trade: Cassell/Thomas
With the exception of Hayes and Luther the other three players not even getting any PT. I'm throwing the picks in because our 1st rounder is going to be low 20's. Not worried about the scoring because both Cassell and Thomas can score the ball. Even though we loose Hayes (sorry HayesFan) we have Landry to make up for his hustle. Houston also getting two playoff tested veterans. I MIGHT even consider two first round picks only because James is in the deal and Francis also has one more year.
Clippers are not going to buyout Cassell so why not get two solid contributors in Hayes/Head and a 1st/2nd round picks?
