    McGrady AND Howard? That's too much. Rockets have a miles advantage here. Orlando is loosing out big time!

    francis has told his agent that if he gets traded to orlando then he will demand a trade. i think that if this does go through, then it will be a three team trade

    I think Houston is robbing Orlando with this deal personally. We're getting the scorer we need and adding some depth. If we end up signin Fisher and/or trading Pike for Kevin Ollie that would really help make this deal better because we'd pick up the PG's we would be in desperate need of with the loss of Steve. I think the big move after this trade will be if Houston signs McDyess or not though.

    this trade most likely <u>will</u> go down. mcgrady has made it clear that he does not want to be in a rebuilding team. but i think this trade will help out the rockets more then the magic because bringing in mcgrady will take away the double teams off yao. also it will have mcgrady start playing d more. because he wont have to worry about getting fouls, because unlike the magic where it seems like mcgrady was the only player that could score, the rockets have better players and a pretty decent bench.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">the rockets have better players and a pretty decent bench.</div> HAH. That's one I've never heard.. Our bench is literally Mo Taylor. The rest dont score, they might get a rebound or two, but Mo was the only one who got the time and the shots.. Lue might help us on the bench, I believe Gaines is comin here, so he might be able to start, and if hes not, theres a rumour about tradin Pike (Eric Pitakowski) for Kevin Ollie.. he could start also.. But the Rockets DO NOT have a good bench - decent - but not good enough. All we need is a good PG, and maybe a new PF, Im not a fan of Howard. I think we can throw all our bench out except for Taylor, Boki, and Griffin. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">francis has told his agent that if he gets traded to orlando then he will demand a trade. i think that if this does go through, then it will be a three team trade</div> He was just mad that he never had any consent on what was going on.. Same with Mobley, he said if the trade would not go through, "It's like cheatin on me," i think Cuttino will play for the Magic, same with Cato, Francis, prolly, but if he gets traded, that could be interesting.
