    but do would you guys rather acquire SAR and Big Country, or take a gamble on Webber during the summer?

    I say do the trade if it's available... If we miss out on Webber, there won't be a good free agent for YEARS TO COME... Therefore making free cap space pretty much useless...

    I would much rather have Webber than SAR, but the chances of Webber coming here are probably less than 10%...

    houston trades: Walt Williams $4,250,000 to vancouver
    houston trades: Hakeem Olajuwon $16,700,000 to vancouver
    TOTAL: $20,950,000


    vancouver trades: Damon Jones $714,286 to houston
    vancouver trades: Bryant Reeves $10,110,000 to houston
    vancouver trades: Shareef Abdur-Rahim $10,125,000 to houston (BYC Value $7,593,750)
    TOTAL: $20,949,286

    TRADE ACCEPTED

    Years to come? As in 2 years? I'm just asking if that's your timetable because 2003 is LOADED.

    And by the way...even if I KNEW we wouldn't get Webber I still don't do the deal, purely b/c of Country.

    BTW, the horse is all but glue right about now.

    lol DarkHorse! I would only do the deal if we can dump Big Country (maybe to Chicago). If Chicago wants Big Country so badly because he is under contract and has potential I would give them Big Country for a 2nd round draft pick or a late first rounder.

    Prempeh,

    I haven't looked at the free agents for the next few years, but if 2003 is a good year, I wouldn't mind taking on Big Country. His contract ends in 2003. If we could then get rid of Cato and pick up some players with shorter contracts (ending by 2003), all the better. It's not ideal, but I could live with it.
