    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">RedsArmy.com has learned that a three way deal between the Lakers, Magic, and Rockets will send Lamar Odom to Orlando, Steve Francis to Houston, and Tracy McGrady to LA. The deal is on hold due to the All Star game, and should be announced Monday or Tuesday.</div>
    I would love to see this deal go down, but i tried the ESPN trade checker and RealGM and it said failed scenario so I guess the Lakers would have add something else.

    The Lakers give up Lamar Odom and get Tracy McGrady? Are you freakin serious??? Orlando gets only Odom for Stevie. There would want to be some picks and other cash benefits, if not some role players. Stevie back to Houston. Wonder how that goes.

    That has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard. There is no way Rockets will give up Tracy McGrady. Not for Franchise at least. I say you should'nt even look into this.

    Why would Houston do that trade. They are better of with Mcgrady than Francis. They traded Francis for a better play and now they want him back?

    Um, no offense, but I don't believe that rumor one bit. It is completely stupid on so many different levels that it does not even warrant further comment.

    They could at least try to make it believable.

    With a few draft picks here and there it could happen.

    I was just about to post a section in the Lakers Skybox urging Mitch to trade Odom + George + Draft Picks for McGrady. After watching the ASG, its clear Kobe and McGrady have chemistry. They play for each other. If you look at the ASG, Kobe gave McGrady around 5 assists. Near the end of the game when the West needed a few three's, McGrady was looking to pass to Kobe.

    Does that even sound fair to you?

    The mere fact that anyone with any basketball knowledge at all would believe that rumor is stunning. Come on y'all, do some research before trying to throw out sensationalistic news.

    This rumor may not be as farfetched as you all make it out to be. I hear other teams are involved (possibly Nuggets) and other players will be involved. Don't be suprised if this trade goes down because I hear it is pretty close to being finalized.

    T-Mac and Kobe together would be a beast and they will still have the pieces for their 07 plan.

    Uh..

    EH?

    Since when do the Rockets not like McGrady?

    Why would we trade him for someone we already traded, who's older and detrimental to our center's growth (pun intended)?

    Give me some of what they're smoking..

    If the Rockets make the playoffs. . I am so laughing at y'all who say we suck.

    Haterade = bad
