Let's say he's dead serious about wanting to play in Houston next year and would like to force some sort of sign-and-trade deal to maximize his earnings while moving."</div><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Orlando Magic seem intent on trying to move up, and word is they may have a partner in the Houston Rockets. According to a Magic source, the club may make a draft day deal if their man falls to the Rockets at #8, their man would be Rudy Gay ? its believed the Rockets would draft Gay, and trade him to Orlando after the Magic nab the Rockets? man, who may be Alexander Johnson ? not Shelden Williams as some are projecting. A lot depends on what 8 players fall in which order, but Magic sources say at this point they are not in love with anyone they have worked out. It?s believed if the Magic can not get Rudy ? he goes early ? they would settle in on Shelden Williams and try to trade him later in the day. Informed league sources confirmed that the Magic were still looking, even after seeing several of the players projected in their range. One of the Magic assistant coaches said during the Orlando Pre-Draft camp in Orlando that they still had homework to do. The Rockets will resume working out players this week, and are expected to see several big men.</div>
interesting rumors. thanks for sharing.any one of those sound welcome to the team.. especially the first one, but i doubt it. and no doubt, mike james would be awesome back on houston.. but i don't know. the third one seems too complicated so i don't see us going down w/ that.we'll probably just draft our player and be done w/ it hahaha
Trading Stromile would be interesting. It certainly wouldn't disappoint me to trade a wasted talent such as Stromile. That would also allow Chuck Hayes to play more minutes, and, who knows, even start a few games.
