Yeah WTF... Orlando gives Mcgrady + 3 other players for just 3 players from Houston?

It's called dumping salary.....and, making the deal work under the salary cap...

not the way the fools in the rockets front office are overpaying everyone.



and there is no way shaq stays in the west if LA can help it. good likelihood of going to the nets, i think, especially since the nets are moving to brooklyn, iirc.

Nets don't have the money this year
Mutumbo/Mourning
Maybe Ratner will pay over salary cap to get shaq.
if shaq is added to the Nets, they'd be unstoppable.

JKidd Dishing to Martin+Shaq = Rim Breaking Dunks

Any trade for Shaq by the Nets would HAVE to include Martin, and about 5 other players.

very interesting.

i wonder if T-Mac and Yao will have the same clashes as Shaq/Kobe and Francis/Yao. it seems that the small guys are always reluctant to go inside first.

if T-Mac is willing to share the ball with Yao, Houston could be VERY dangerous next year....

The only way they will get enough talent from the deal is if they trade him to a western conference team. My bet is on Pheonix or Memphis.

they wont have the same clashes... yao will defer to tmac if it comes to it that seems like his personality... hes the the big mouth big nosed idiot like shaq is...

If Shaq goes to the East. Power will be shifted.

Besides, T-mac certainly don't have the same ego that Kobe has.

Hahhahahaah... both of those guys are egomaniacs... T-Mac left the Raptors because of Vince Carter... that would have been one hell of a team... oh well.

My buddy is gonna be so stoked they dumped 38% shooting from the field "Franchise" and got a bona fide star to run alongside Yao (hopefully for the next 7 years).

 

[EvilYoda]

damn, I'm not watching for a few hours and this happens? That's amazing...I can't wait to see Yao and McG play together, assuming it goes through.

derek fisher opted out of his contract and is interested in houston

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

As much as the Lakers want Shaq gone, I don't think it will happen this year. Def. next year though.

So,

Tmac and Yao in the same team. It will rightfully push the Rockets to replace the Lakers among the top teams in the west.

they most certainly will. and the rest of the crew isn't that bad either.

This just in!

Shaq traded to Celtics for Danny Ainge, Jumaine Jones, All the draft picks for the next three years.

Ummm, Yao ming and T-mac. Thats a pretty good pair, just throw a pg in there.
Unless Houston plays t-mac as a sf. They can get a decent sg and pg through the draft or free agency.

Houston will be good next year. (Assuming the trade goes through) They replace Cato with Howard (lose shot blocking and rebounding but gain scoring), Mobley with T-mac (huge improvement), and as for a PG I think they'll probably experiment with Lue, Gains, and their other guards on the roster.
