Yeah, I think so. I think T-Mac's injuries has been bothering him.

i think they should have traded down. they have a good gm and iam sure they put a lot of thought into ths pick , but i think bad teams should trade down. i really dont believe a bad team should spend first pick money on a player who might not be that good. i would have picked morrison

First off, I would fire Zeke Thomas as GM/President/whatever title he holds. He is a horrible talent evaluator. Next, I would not take on that trade. Makes absolutely no sense, in that you have Channing Frye, a budding superstar at PF, Eddy Curry (who they GROSSLY overpaid for) starting at C, and any number of people starting at SF, SG, and PG. Point is, there is no need for Kenyon Martin, who is too injury prone and has lots and lots of $$$ left on his contract. Remember, the Knicks need to stay away from long-term deals on injury prone players, which is how they got into this mess in the first place (i.e. Larry Johnson, Allan Houston, etc).  What they need to do is try and unload Marbury onto the Wolves for Garnett. Of course, you'd throw in any number of additional players for good measure, but moneywise, it makes sense. Couple that with Garnett's desire to be traded, and you have a potential deal. I think something like, Marbury/Quentin Richardson/Maurice Taylor (for cap relief, 9 million next year and then he's done) for something like Garnett/Troy Hudson or Ricky Davis/Mark Blount. It would work moneywise, and then the Knicks could feature a starting five of PG Steve Francis, SG Jalen Rose, SF Kevin Garnett, PF Channing Frye, and C Eddy Curry. Meanwhile, the T-Wolves would field an awful team next year, but would be looking toward 2007/2008 when they'd run into their expected cap relief and be able to look for some Free Agent Help.

maybe a few pitchers they need that and a DH \n\ntheyve already traded Sheff i think theyll trade some guys but not many theyll probably look at free agents\n\ni dont think they wil trade arod this year but if he has another year like this one theyll get rid of him by trade or contract. But i wish they would trade, in my book hes worse than TO

Hell YES it is.  Tracy McGrady is one of the most overrated players out there.  He has never made it past the 1st round.  Ever.  He even spoke about how he was looking forward to the 2nd round against the Pistons in '01 when they were up 3 games to 1.  OOPS!  Pistons won 3 in a row and his legacy continues.\nThere are a lot more good SG's in the league, then PF's.  Especially PF's that can shoot from anywhere, rebound, rack up assists, and play a team game.  KG doesn't need to be on the post like Yao and would guarantee neither KG or Yao would get double teamed.\nIf I were a Rockets fan, I would be giddy at the thought of getting KG straight up for T-Mac.  It would probably be a good trade for both teams as both guys could use a new situation.\nAlso, since the Rockets have the 8th pick, there will be plenty of PG's, SG's, and SF's available at that spot compared to the top 3 picks, which will be big men.\n\nYou can never have enough quality big men.  Especially when they are Yao and KG

I don't think there is any question you take this trade and run with it.  \nJones' numbers will go up for the rest of the season because Grossman has proven his weakness.\nPortis has been hurt more than he played.\n\nAnd Delhomme loves Steve Smith\n\nAddai is getting more touches, but Indy is a passing team.

He is going to stay there. He said he demands that somone be traded away, so that someone new can be brought in. One trade they are talking about it Iverson for Davis and Hudson. If that doesnt work, then they are thinking about Davis and Griffen for Kenyon Martin and Demarr Johnson

It is simple, T-Mac could go out and average 40 points a game if he wanted to. Of course if he did that the Rockets would only win about 30 games! You need to look at their system like Shaq and Kobe were in LA. Yao is only getting better and for the Rockets to join the elite teams out West the ball has to go inside to him and then get kicked back out to T-Mac when the double team arrives. Sometimes they will need to post and re-post the ball in to Yao... this will free up everything for all of the other Rocket players on the floor. I am sure that this been preached to the team in the off season and everyone is trying to give it a chance. Steve Francis would not pass- and he ended up being dealt away. This is a learning process and hopefully it will help Houston after the all-star break.

The Washington Redskins could use him.  Novak sucks.

It's been 20 years since Bird, McHale and Parish won for the Celtics last and few good times in between.\n\nDanny Ainge seems to be forming a nucleus with a view to contending in the next 3-5 years.  If they can't do it within that time frame, time will run out for Pierce and rebuilding will start again.\n\nWhat they need is a 2nd and perhaps 3rd genuine all-star performer, preferably a big man, who can perform at both ends.\n\nThink about NJ.  They have 3 star types but can't get past the 2nd round.  Look at Pistons and Heat - superstars in both lineups.  We need to get past these teams to win it all.  You don't win in the NBA with 1 superstar.\n\nI'm dirty on us giving up on Billups all those years ago.  Would be great to see Pierce and Billups tearing it up together.\n\nA rebounder is critical to get firstly into the playoffs and be more competitive.  We desperately hope that Gomes or Jefferson can be a player that can take their game to a much higher level.  Are they the next stars, we'll see.\n\nWith the no 7 pick, Danny please choose wisely.\n\nGo Celts.

I'm a diehard Rockets fan. Bonzi Wells is supposedly injured, so I've heard, but I think JVG doesn't want to play him for some reason. I heard a rumor that he dissed JVG (such as saying his playbook sucks). I don't know waz sup wit Bonzi, but he needs to get his butt on da court.

It's pretty sad when AJ is your MVP of the series. Nice 40 point effort with no help last night.\n\nI'm for trading:\n\nPeja (knee could be an issue)\nO'Neal (injured often)\nTinsley (always injured)\nJackson (complains too much)\nFred Jones (Why didn't we keep James Jones?)\nDavid Harrison (Could be good but a foul magnet)\nScott Pollard (another back problem player)\nSarunas (Not adjusting to the NBA style like we thought)\n\nI'm for keeping:\n\nGranger (awesome prospect) \nAJ (he's a free agent but we can't pay him much)\n\nI want a dominant PF or C but who doesn't? I would be happy with a great PG in the draft like a Chris Paul or something. \n\nTOTAL TEAM OVERHAUL!!!!!

No.  I think a National League team will take it.  They seem to have made the bigger moves during the off-season.

One word answer,NO.\n The blame is always on the coach but some of the players do not have heart.\n Next year should be his make or break year.

To be honest, if the Sonic manage to trade away Ray Allen and his $85 million dollar contract, they are probably going to get a bunch of bad players in return and head to the lottery.  \n\nI feel that the problem is not Allen, because perimeter shooting is the main strength of the Sonics.  With Rashard Lewis and Luke Ridnour as other perimeter scoring threats and Chris Wilcox taking care of post scoring, the Sonics are set from the point guard down to the power forward positions. (e.g. Ridnour at point; Allen at SG; Lewis at SF; and Wilcox at PF)  \n\nTheir problem lies in the middle.  Seattle doesn't have any bonafied center,  In the last three NBA drafts they have tried to acquire a decent center by drafting Robert Swift in 2004 (out this season with a torn ACL), Johan Petro in 2005 (currently playing but recently diagnosed to have had an irregular heartbeat), and Mouhamed Saer Sene (rumored to be sent down to the developmental league) this year instead of Duke star J.J. Redick.\n\nHope this helps!

A can of luke-warm soup.  That is the value of LaMont Jordan.  I'm sure he was probably a 1st round pick, but you wont get anything for him.  I suppose if someone would accept Jordan for any of those players, thats a bonus for you, but if someone traded either Branch or Clayton for Jordan, then they are fools.\n\nAt this point in the season, if his production is pitiful (which is the case for Jordan) then don't hesitate to cut him and try to pick up someone else.
