    So I guess we can assume that the Dallas deal would of been similar to the Wizards deal. How would Courtney Alexander and Etan Thomas fit in around here?

    I'm glad we kept Hakeem. I never wanted to trade him. Sure I suggested some wierd deals, but I would have never pulled the plug on them.

    Cool. Thanks for the insight, Clutch.

    I think we all agree that a healthy, active Dream is essential. I would say that his huge playoff experience could be essential also. Now let's watch Dream show the kids what getting to the playoffs is all about. I wouldn't mind putting together a little winning streak here.

    No way would I trade Dream for Steve Smith. There was no chance of getting screwed by Portland again, thats why the deal fell through.....

    Nope. I'm sure Clutch will have it posted by night's end, if not, then he is still extremely busy.

    Abdur-Rahim for Dream. WOW! I'm kinda glad that deal did not go through because I would rather have Webber.

    I wonder if the rockets would still try to get Shareef in the offseason if Webber decides to go somewhere else?

    I think this is the key question. Did the 'Reef trade (if that's indeed what it was) not go through because someone else pulled out?

    Or did it not go through becuase the Rockets feel so good about their chances at Webber that they didn't want to jeopardize it by adding 'Reef?

    I mean, it's all well and good for us to sit here and guess that our chances are "50%" or whatever that we sign Webber, but what does the Rockets' front office think our chances are? That would be interesting to know ...

    I tell you one thing, if we pulled out of the 'Reef trade (again, if that's what it was) because we thought we'd sign C-Webb, and then we don't sign C-Webb ... I'll be pissed.
