Morey would be GOAT if he could pull that off.
Who'd be SG though? Salmons?
A source with knowledge of the situation in Chicago said the Bulls would likely insist on getting either Luis Scola or Carl Landry in a trade, making it a four-for-two deal. The Rockets would get James in addition to Miller, Salmons, and Thomas, while sending McGrady and a forward to Chicago. The Rockets are very high on both Scola and Landry, and that could make this a deal-breaker. It remains to be seen.
One thing's for sure - the Rockets aren't going to let McGrady sit and stew in Houston. He won't play good soldier, as we've seen in the past. He'll complain and stir up mess until he gets traded. The Chicago Bulls have some pieces that would greatly benefit Houston. It seems a solution to Houston's McGrady problem may be close at hand. The Rockets get the young star-quality player they seek, the Bulls get cap space to chase Stoudemire this summer.- Hoopsworld

Goddamn itHopefully Morey finds a way to rob them blind while letting Scola and Landry stay
Morey would be GOAT if he could pull that off.
Who'd be SG though? Salmons?
Yeah, Salmons would be the SG
You'd rob them blind by giving them TMac + Landry for B. Miller, T. Thomas, Salmons and J. James. Landry is no better than Thomas, and convincing Landry to stay after this year in Houston would probably be hard. You'd keep a great 2 guard for 2 years, and the rest are expiring and you could convince T. Thomas to stay - a front court of Thomas and Scola would be a good core for the Rockets, surrounded by Brooks, Salmons and Ariza.
Brooks
Salmons
Ariza
Scola
Thomas
Surround that team with some savvy vets and roleplayers, and you could lure a big time All-Star next season.
Yes, yes he is and by a big margin.
Landry has a brain. Thomas doesn't.
What type of game does Salmons have?
Salmons is a slasher........If this trade goes down Bulls GM would have to be the most re ed ers out there....
That'd be a nice trade for Houston.
this move will really affect the first round of the playoffs nobody watches. 2 teams going nowhere fast
Last year Salmons had a 0.418 3 point field goal percentage... that would work wonders on our offense,
And Miller would essentially be a much better version of Anderson.
Not to mention the two have been coached under Adelman before.
TMac + Landry
for
Salmons + Miller + Ty Thomas + James' expiring?
Get it done, Houston! You'll be the deepest team in the league.
Just heard on the Radio that the Bulls aren't going to trade their core young players including T.Thomas Rose and Noah but if they were to pull of the deal they said the most likely trade would be Mcgrady for Salmons Miller and Jerome James.
I'd still make that trade.
Landry is MUCH better than Thomas. But the Rockets already have Scola anyways so this is a good trade for them. It gives them depth, a reliable outside shooter in Salmons and they get rid of their headache in McGrady.
Yup. I'd be even more inclined to make this trade so I wouldn't have to give up one of those talented pf's.
Alot of people forget that before T Macs injury the guy was averaging 27+ppg.........
No Scola or Landry needed?
Gogogogogogogogogogoo
That's an even better trade for the Rockets. Damn.
Landry is SO much better than thomas it isn't even funny and only people that watch him regularly know why, on 8 ING shots this dude puts u 20+ points he is so aggressive and doesn't play out of the offense. Shooting 60% most of his games and he gets paid 3 mil.
He is 2nd in PER for all PFs and is one of the most valuable assets in terms of his salary and production
Unlike most here, I don't think it's a bad trade for the Bulls. If TMac can come back and stay relatively healthy, he's exactly what that team needs.
Almost everything is better for Houston than nothing, which is what they're getting from McGrady, the thing is would you make that trade and sacrifice the cap space at the end of the season which could be needed to sign a guy like Bosh?
Besides making moves could be dangerous for a squad that has "team chemisrty" as one of their biggest strenghts.
I noticed that too, he reminds me of Manu on that regard.
You're not undersanding the point. We ARE getting something if we let his contract expire , thats a crap load of money we can throw at an all star or super star to guarantee them here. We have an AWESOME core, we need an all star big man and we will be the kings of old.
there is no way in morey trades landry away.
i think a tmac/filler for miller/salmons/filler is pretty fair for both sides.
Miller is an expiring, and Salmons has an option to opt out..Both should be able to fit in well with Adelman's system , if this trade goes down
