I hope the trade between the Raptors and Pacers wont happen. That would just be big waste to us

At the time, both were reasonable deals, JO was coming off a season where he was in MVP voting if I remember correctly and ZBO had just averaged 20 & 10on the Blazers. Overreaction by GMs = Adonal Foyle & Ericka Dampier deals
JO being injured just happens, thats bad luck, but as for ZBO the character issues should have been obvious. Now he's a black hole on the Knicks

I've read on Houston message boards that Rockets front office people have said... The "Most polite rocket" will be traded this week...

Am I the only one who thinks it'll be rediculous to possibly give Bynum 5 years $80 Million?

5 years 50 million is more reasonable. in 5 years, dude will still be a baby and be in his prime = 5 years, 100 million.

5 years 80 million for a guy who hasn't done anything besides show potential. smh 5 years 40-50 mill is a bit of a reach but a lot better.

5yr/80 million? That's goddamn ridiculous. 16 million a year who hasn't had a consistent injury-free season is preposterous.
As for JO, he was at one point in discussion with the best PF's in the L, up there with TD and Garnett. At one point I thought he was more polished thanKG.
Also, I really like Battier, and I think he's good for Houston, I hope he doesn't leave.
A couple rumors, Morrison and the 9th pick could be shipped to Minny for the 3rd pick.
TJ Ford, Rasho, and possibly the 19th pick could be shipped to Indy for JO.

Bynum already said he doesn't care if he doesn't get a max deal and that he's willing to take less money to help the team. All he cares aboutis being a Laker.

^no offense or anything...but i don't buy that.
any nba player will say that to look good for the public. it's not because it's bynum or the lakers. i just don't buy the fact that an nba wouldleave like 20 mill on the table for winning. especially someone as young as bynum.
but hey, i could be wrong.

Say word?
The Rockets are in a catch 22.
They could roll with their current lineup into next season, which is good, but maybe not good enough come playoff time as we've seen, or they could tradeShane (Houston's most tradeable asset, as T-Mac and Yao aren't going anywhere) and try to move up in the draft/get an offensive minded player.
The thing is though, the Rockets win because of their defense for the most part. Consistently one of the best teams in the league defensively. Shane is theglue guy, the Rockets best defender..
I don't think he gets traded, but if he does, I think it's to Portland..

Could that be the trade Portland makes for the #13 and Martell? Battier is exactly what the Blazers need if they're deciding not to move up in thedraft. A quality guy that can will give them veteran leadship, defense and perimter shooting. I know Houston would hate to loose Shane that but to add a guylike Martell Webster and possibly another young big or athletic wing to help provide some more athleticism on the offensive end, I think it's a win/winsituation.

Houston would probably want Outlaw and 13... i know its more of a stretch than martell, but battier is arguably the best 1 on 1 defender in the league...he's worth a lot. I could see the trade going down if rush is available at 13...
Rockets get outlaw and draft rush
Then trade SJax and Francis's exprings at the deadline for a SG/SF (mike miller)...
Rockets end up looking
Rafer/Brooks
Miller/Rush/Head
T-mac/Outlaw/Novak
Scola/Landry/Hayes
Yao/_____?
i like it better than now..although we would need a better back up PG...

Since Houston excels defensively, losing Battier would obviously hurt. Defense wins in the playoffs.
Honestly, I don't think Shane gets traded. With Rafer improving his game and Scola having a year under his belt, Houston will be primed for the playoffsonce again. They don't have to trade Battier but if Houston's front office feels they need to, then they better get a piece that fits.
