Mobley is a great scorer, but he doesn't provide enough good balls for his great Center. Francis doesn't share the ball very much, and Mobley is just a weaker Francis, so they have to go for a strong SF, who is a good defender and rebounder, to have more shooting opportunity for their big men. Jim Jackson will be the starting SG. If they play big, they will have more rebounds and Yao could attempt more shots. This is what will elevate the rockets in the sky... The player of the trade: - Al Harrington or Jonathan Bender. - Ruben Patterson + Qyntel Woods. - Rodney White + Nikoloz Tskitishvili.
Why would the Rockets trade Cuttino Mobley? Mobley is a great scorer, a great 3 point shooter, and some more great stuff. Besides, even if they did trade Mobley, their goiong to need more and better players than the one above
I think they would trade him because there number option is Ming.So they need to pass to ball to him and Francis will also need the ball so there isn't alot for mobley.They should trade for a unselfish player who knows how to pass.Like Ming637 said,if they trade him, they should trade for someone who's as good as him.
I would only trade Mobley for a player like Al Harrington...the other players you mentioned, no...Mobley is one of the best perimeter defenders on the Rockets, arguably their best 3-pt shooter and one of the lone Rockets who can break down a defense...he is a scoring specialist on a team that needs scorers...
I actually like Ruben Patterson or Al Harrington. However at this point of the season, I don't see it coming. Both Portland and Indiana won't need him anyways. Mobley's future with Houston appears bleak and will eventually be traded, but I don't think it'll be for this two. I'd rather see us trade for some draft picks to build around Yao and an improved Steve in the future.
Al Harrington isn't much different from Maurice Taylor. If you get him for Mobley you better trade Taylor for a shooter. I would definitely trade Mobley sooner or later though. His decision-making hasn't improved one bit since he entered the league.

Anyone see the game about a week ago where Mobley ran Franchise over? Franchise fell over resulting in a turnover. Sometimes I swear Mobley must be high.
Would Rockets Fans do this trade? Don't go crazy its just an idea that I had and it woks under the salary cap. Rockets Trade PG- Mike Wilks SG- Cuttino Mobley F- Mo taylor to New Jersey for SG- Kerry Kittles G- Lucious Harris F- Rodney Rodgers I think Kerry Kittles is the perfect guard to play along side steve Francis. He can knock down the 3. Kerry Kittles plays best along side a point who can get in the lane which Steve Francis can do. Lucious Harris gives you a veteran shooter off the bench, who been deep in the playoffs. And Rodney Rodgers give you someone who can play both forward spots. Please rational opinions only. If you dont like the trade idea dont go all crazy. Just state why you wouldnt do the deal.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Henacy:</div><div class="quote_post"> Rockets Trade PG- Mike Wilks SG- Cuttino Mobley F- Mo taylor to New Jersey for SG- Kerry Kittles G- Lucious Harris F- Rodney Rodgers </div> Thats just a downgrade in talent with the same kind of players for the Rockets in my opinion. Rogers kind of reminds me of Taylor, except Rodney can shoot the 3, plus Rodney is a lot older I think. Wilks and Mobley for Harris and Kittles doesn't sound too tempting either, Kittles just seems like an unselfish Mobley, and Mobley has been a decent team player this year anyway. That trade doesn't work for the future salary caps, nor does it improve neither team much, so I think the Al Harrington for Mobley trade sounds much more likely (although I don't think they'll even end up moving Mobley).
Mobley....that's a mistake isn't it? He's like the Sixers Snow for your team. As for getting Kittles, he can score, so can Mobley, plus he's faster and a better passer. Kittles is a pure scorer. Same goes for Rogers, a big man with only shooting capabilities, he's old, therefore he has low stamina and endurance, so once his shot is gone, he won't be worth anything. He seems to board a lot better then he use to though. I don't know much, if anything about Wilks and Taylor so I can't really comment on them. As for Harris, he plays well for the Nets. He's great support, an unselfish scorer. It'd be a shame and a mistake to let him go. If you were to let go of Mobley, I suggest getting a real great offensive player, slightly better, balanced and better overall then say Kittles. As for whom I'd have in mind, I have no idea.
Kittles is actually the same as Mobley, so the Rockets won't be getting much of an upgrade there. Taylor and Wilks for Rogers and Harris is unfair. Rogers is aging and has few productive years left in him, and Harris is a veteran shooter, but nothing like the scoring force Taylor is. If this trade happens, it might do more bad to the Rockets than good.

Cuttino Mobley does not to get traded he and steve are a perfect combo and this team will build around Steve and an improved Yao. Steve has been a 3 time all star he has enough talent to hand with if not beat anyone in the NBA. He takes the most shots so obviously he's our #1 option. If Yao Improves and we relize Steve is on Iverson's level and stop knowing and make him play SG we will win lots and lots of games.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Dom_Sensei:</div><div class="quote_post">Francis in shooting guard would definitely be great.</div> It would have been great had he moved to that spot last season. However, he's playing much more like a point guard this season and why not let him continue to do that? I see him turning into a Baron Davis: an explosive player with a wicked crossover. Mostly importantly, they can both pass and score extremely well.

Dom_Sensei is right though in the sense that Francis is a shooting guard. For now I say, let him play the point guard role. The only thing he needs to do is too cut down on his turnovers.

If you compare Steve's stats over his career and Davis' minus his rookie year, you'll see that Francis is inferior. Davis has excellent court vision and shooting accuracy. Francis needs to improve in those areas.
