NBA Trades -and- Free Agents...

[Krokus]

Alright, NBA fans....I'd like some opinions on these matters...

1. Tracy Mcgrady going to Houston for Steve Francis, Cuttino Mobely and Kevin Kato.... (personally, I think francis can't hold a candle to T-mac, and that yao and t-mac would give houston a shot at a championship, they would be the most dynamic duo since Shaq/Kobe)

2. Shaquille O'Neal to Dallas for Dirk Nowitzki, Antoine Walker and an as yet "undecided player" (while I think Dirk is the best guy going for dallas right now, they desperately need a center, and shaq is the best center of all time...I think this might actually happen, mavericks owner mark cuban says he is thinking about it)

3. Kobe Bryant. Where do you predict him ending up? Will he stay with the lakers? Or will he go elsewhere?


....Also, what type of impact do you think the Charlotte bobcats will have on the league next season? ....*sigh* ...I already miss the nba...🙁

McGrady and Yao,now that would be sweet.In my opinion,he is just as talented and a good a ball player as Kobe is.I say go for it Houston.And,Francis is mediocre at best.

Shaq to Dallas,could and probably will happen.He wants out of LA,and Cuban can afford him.In my opinion again noone can handle Shaq inside,he is dominant.Now,Yao in a few years can compete,but now Shaq is the man and none is better.

Who knows Kobe could be playing for some prison team,but since he has all that money he has he will get off and prove again you can beat the system if you have enough money.Now,he will stay in LA even though he opted to be free agent,once Shaq is traded that will be one less ego and he can be the big ego on LA and him and Gary Payton can sit and whine together why thay didn't win another championship.

The only thing good about the Bobcats,is the cheerleaders they will put out their first year.Because,they will win no more than 15 games next year.

It's official, T-mac is now a Houston Rocket.

The rockets also got Juwan Howard

Derek Fisher has opted out of his contract and wants to play for Houston, as he knows with Francis gone he will get the starting position at PG. Houston is gonna end up with a championship caliber team, im lovin' it!

Shaq to Dallas is looking like it's gonna happen....


I find it interesting that the Celtics are thinking about trading Paul Pierce.....

Anyhow.....GO ROCKETS! Houston in 05!!

It appears that Steve Francis doesn't want to go play in Orlando...I don't blame him, but he has no choice. I predict that he will be traded when he gets to orlando, maybe after one season....

The Magic also appear to be interested in Shaq, but they dont have the money nor the talent that the Mavericks do. LA would trade with Dallas over Orlando any day of the week.

It'a gonna be interesting, the next couple of weeks....very interesting. I'll keep this updated as info is released.

I hear the Nike is looking to double the contract of Kobe if he signs with the Knicks. I can't see how the Knicks can do it under the cap. Although I don't like him personally, he will add a new dimension to the team. Frankly, if I had a choice btween Kobe and Shaq, I would choose Shaq in a heartbeat. That pair reminds me of Pippen and Jordan.

Lakers will be dead meat W/O Kobe and Shaq.

Yea, and it's about time... Now we can see some real teams get the job done. TEAMS.....not 2 man armies...that type of play can get the job done, but when you come up against real team basketball like the Pistons, like the lakers now know, you will fail. It's going to be a very interesting off-season.
