    <font face="Arial">The Deal on the Table has the Rockets Trading </font>

    <font face="Arial">Steve Francis</font>
    <font face="Arial">Cuttino Mobley</font>
    <font face="Arial">Kelvin Cato</font>

    <font face="Arial">To Orlando for</font>

    <font face="Arial">Tracy McGrady </font>
    <font face="Arial">Tyronn Lue </font>
    <font face="Arial">Andrew DeClerq (Some reports have Reese Gaines instead of Declerq)</font>
    <font face="Arial">Juwan Howard</font>

    <font face="Arial">But Francis said he does not want to be in an re-building situation. This caused the Magic to reconsider the deal and have since had conversations with Francis and his agent that have been said to thaw some of Francis's resistance to the deal. Apparently this has opened the door for the Suns to make a Bid, sources have the suns offer at </font>

    <font face="Arial">Marion</font>
    <font face="Arial">Jacobson</font>
    <font face="Arial">7th Pick</font>

    <font face="Arial">But Orlando has asked for either Stoudmire or Johnson as well and Mcgrady has also said he will opt out next season if traded to the Suns.</font>

    <font face="Arial">This deal looked as if it was all but done, but now it is up in the air. It is still more likely the Francis - Mcgrady deal will happen but no longer a lock. There is also the possibility that this could turn into a 3 Team trade that has Francis or Mobley going somewhere else with the Magic getting a pick or a player for Francis or Mobley.</font>

    I'd love to ship Francis, Cat, and Cato for Marion, Jacobson and that 7th pick.

    I would not, that 7th pick does not mean that much in this draft this is one of the weakest as far as depth in history. That's why the suns are shopping it so much they think they can get more than it is worth

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">We reported on Friday that Indiana had made an offer and Houston made an offer. When Indiana would not put Ron Artest in the deal, Orlando felt like this offer of Steve Francis, Cuttino Mobley and Kelvin Cato was the best one they could get to put a star player in Orlando and also try to rebuild a franchise</div>

    ^http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=1825839

    In that deal, they get no big man, they lack a guard, and the Pacers were reluctant to add Harrington.. Just a thought.

    Shaq goin to Dallas, how would he fit in with Nash? I mean Nash might leave, but Dallas doesnt need to rebuild, theyre missing the one piece. Is it Shaq? i doubt it, but they could go places. Guess thisll all unfold tommorow, i mean today.. :mrgreen:

    Cuban Is really trying to get Shaq. The lakers said any deal will have to include Dirk and Dallas has apparently Offered him (after saying he was untouchable). I predict that Shaq will be in a Mavs uniform next season. I really think cuban is getting scared into a move by the prospect of Mcgrady in Houston, Just my take but for whatever reason it really looks like Cuban wants Shaq and will sale the farm to get him.

    Brad Miller and CWebb to Lakers for Shaq?? What do you think? I hear he wants to play in Sactown but I don't think the Lakers would want to trade him to their conference rivals.

    Is the McGrady-Francis deal happening then? I read somewhere that Francis has now said he's ok with playing in Orlando.

You just took their best PFs, for an aging star that I dont think can play with Bibby, maybe Christie, Peja? I'm not sure. The Kings like to pass around the ball, but will they welcome dumping into Shaq, and get fed from his very hands? I think Shaq could fit well with Dallas, only because they seem to be rebuilding, Dirk, Nash, Finley, all "reportedly" are being dealt.<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Yea it will probably happen now, and could be finalized tomorrow or sunday, But it wont be official until sometime next month because of collecting bargaining</div> Weisbrod said after the weekend, theyll start turning their attention to it, but Les Alexander said that he "likes our chances."

    Shaq to Kings = Peja going off for 30 every night.. How do you stop the best 3 point shooter in the league when the best big man in the league is in the paint.. and vice versa??

    Grant Hill was on ESPN and said that Tracy will be traded to Houston real soon and that change might be good for both teams.

    Shaq will never go to the Kings... They're like the team that he hates the most, I don't see Shaq ever going to Sac.

    #7 draft this year is Luol Deng, whoever said that #7 doesn't mean much.. umm yeah.. Luol Deng is pretty damn good man, just watch.

    Actually Shaq said in an interview that he considers the Kings to be one of the teams he'd want to go to.

    Chris Webber then went on to say he'd play for the Lakers.

    wow.. I can't imagine Shaq ever saying he wants to play as a "Queen".. I guess business is business for Shaq.

    The trade is officially done and welcome to McGrady who is now on the Rockets, officially.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">June 29, 2004 - Houston Rockets general manager Carroll Dawson announced today that the team has acquired two-time NBA scoring champion Tracy McGrady, forward Juwan Howard, and guards Tyronn Lue and Reece Gaines from the Orlando Magic. The Rockets sent guards Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley and forward/center Kelvin Cato to Orlando in the seven-player trade.</div>
