    That actually doesn't look too bad. I doubt any non-rockets would want this trade to happen. I still like Mobley though. He can win a games by himself some nights. Only problem is that he trys to do it every night instead of picking and choosing. Ultimately, I wouldn't do this trade. Mobley is a Houston guy. He gave a little money to stay here. I'll keep em'.

    I like Q Richarson, but what does he do that the Cat doesn't? (maybe rebound) Cat needs to cut down on bad shoots and play within the offense. If he does that, he would be heaven sent again.

    richardson and miles are a killer combo for the rockets
    miles being a sf might be a problem for houston because we have so many options there
    plus, richardson is a great team player, something i notice that mobley lacks sometimes...he just seems like he doesnt have the heart to play here

    yet another horrible trade proposal. why on earth does houston do this???

    q is a good player, yes, but not for the rockets. first of all, his outside j is not nearly as consistent as we would need from the 2 spot. secondly, his most comfortable position on the floor is in the post... and i think there's 7'6" asian dude that deserves that spot a wee bit more. thirdly, q's defense is far from stellar. in fact, it's below average. fourth, q's passing is not his strong suit either.

    darius miles??!!!

    why do we need a small forward that cannot shoot???? given, darius miles is a great athlete and can jump out of the gym, but do we really need that on a center oriented team? isn't being able to hit an open jumper a wee bit more important? when you factor in miles' reputation as being a "slacker" around the league, i say not "no"...but hell no!!

    This is simply a combination of the dumbest words assembled to form a sentence ever posted on this forum. Thank you

    if you would read the entire sentence, it said that mobley lacks the ability of q being a team player....

    Q RIch is not a bad shooter from the outside. Q Rich plays tough in the post... like verse stated, and I'd have to agree with verse in that Cuttino deserves to be here, now only if SF and CB can play within JVG's offensive system... CB is a keeper.

    Can't we just trade away all those who wants to give up on Mobley instead?
