    TRADE ACCEPTED

    Before i get burned for this, i know this will not happen
    but it seems to work for every team. and its always fun to wish.

    Denver: must trade Van-Exel. McNugget said if Nick is tradded he is next. this trade gives them an overall better team.
    Deke, Mo, Posey, Maggetty, McInnis/Avery

    Us: its pretty clear - Raef, Kt, Rice, Cat, Wink

    Philli: this part of the trade is an actual rumor, and i don't understand why they want to move Deke, unless they just want to get younger. either way, McDyess and willis is a nice package.
    Kev, Mc6er?, Harpring, AI, Snow

    LAC: the clear cut winners of the deal -
    CandiMan, Brand, Odom, Richardson, Van-Exel

    First, I don't believe any team would trade for a player out for the entire season with an injury. There may even be something not allowing this in the CBA.

    Jeff, Ratliff was traded last year while he was out for the year. It is depended on the team that will receive the player, if they are willing to see it as a long term player or not.

    Some people with this real gm cracks me up. First of all, if the Clipps were smart, which we are talking about the Clippers, Van excel isn't a bad choice at the point, but Mcinnis is fine with them. The Clippers could probably wait and get Jakson from Golden ST. for Kandi man and that alone would probably propel them into the playoffs. Now if they want Lafrentz and Nick, they would have to have some salaries to make up for that, but I don't see Denv trading McDyess nor Philly trading deke. I know we want the best for the Rockets, but thinking someone is going to take Taylor off our hands this yr is wishful thinking. Since he was injured before the season, it would be a real stupid team to take that contract with the mediocre player. The thing about Ratliff is that he had a wrist injury not a lower leg injury. There's a big difference.

    All you guys dreaming of making impossible trades, you all need to chill with it. Just because the Rockets are losing right now doesn't mean that we complitly suck. All the Rockets need is they're star players(Francis,Rice&Taylor) an they'll be fine. But anyways who am I to say, yall' can continue....
