wait I found somthin else on ESPN Boards........
Quote: | I doubt many remember me, but I was the guy who broke the Tmac/Francis trade here on the old ESPN boards. I just got word that the Lakers,Magic,Rockets, and Nuggets have completed a 4 team deal that sends Odom and Francis to Hou, Tmac and Kmart to LA, Mihm and filler to Den, and the Magic get contracts they can unload.
Word I get is that Denver is tired of Kmart and plans to keep Nene, the Magic obviously have been trying to move Francis because he quit on them, Houston believe that Francis will play better with Yao and that Odom is a perfect 3rd option, and LA fills both their PF slot and 2nd option slot.
This trade will be announced tommorrow most likely. It could go into Thurs morning depending on specifics of the deal.
Sorry that I can't get more specific, my source only told me this much. |

This thread needs to be locked, and an automatic 3 day suspension for the poster for quite possibly the WORST thread in the history of western civilization... Cites a source without saying so, horrible grammar/writing, confusing organization of his thoughts... I mean, the list goes on and on.

As pipe as T-Mac to the Lakers sounds on the surface, think about what all 3 teams would be getting out of a potential deal: Orlando is going with a youth movement so Francis will be moved for expiring K's and draft picks. Houston is defensively-oriented and their coach isn't the biggest fan of McGrady's lack thereof and a Yao/Odom/Franchise trio is somewhat young/intriguing although not too cheap. The Lakers obviously need another offensive weapon which T-Mac obviously would be.
Is this trade idea all that crazy? Perhaps, but its fun to contemplate nonetheless even if it only has about a 1% chance of actually happening. |

not saying i believe this but he didnt include the fillers which could make it work. We'd have the cap space. _________________ Pain is temporary, at the end of pain is success... |

Okay, so we're getting Kenyon Martin AND T-Mac for Odom and filler? YEAH EFFING RIGHT! Wake up people! Even in Columbia they can't get stuff as good as the pipe passed around LG. Even if we were getting only Tmac for Odom, I'd be very concerned about low price we'd be getting him for. Say what you want about Tmac's dropoff in production, he's still WAY better than Odom has been this season. What I hate even more is that I totally want to believe that he's coming here. Sometimes I feel like being an LG member is me working out my masochistic side. |

If we act now, Tmac and K-mart might get in 5 or 6 games this season in between injuries. |

i was bored and made a trade that worked salary wise at realgm.
trade id is 2984633.
when i pull it up there are so many players involved it doesnt even display.
Here is what i remember doing...
lakers send odom to hou,
mihm dg slava to den
get back tmac n kmart
den sends kmart to la
sends lenard to orl
gets mihm dg n slava
orl send out stevie to houston
gets back derek anderson, lenard, wesley
houston gets stevie odom
sends out tmac, wesley
I think that was what it was...
This trade is so complicated its hard to believe its going to happen. |

Are you saying you don't approve of those two joining the Lakers? |

If Houston ends up with Odom and Francis for moving T-Mac, then it deserves a genius prize, since (if you cancel out Francis) it means that they essentially traded Cato and Mobley (who was 1 year away from FA and would have left anyway) for Odom, Juwan Howard and Ty Lue. Imagine - one year of Mobley and Cato's bloated contract for Lamar and Juwan. It spins pretty easily from a Rocket p.o.v., and actually would make them better.
The first confusing part is Denver, unless it is so desparate to get out of K-Mart's contract (distinct possibility with Carmelo coming for an extension in the off-season) that it doesn't care anymore. Maybe they've even decided to invest in Nene in lieu of K-Mart. They also need a 2, in which case Wesley should end up there.
As for Orlando, there's no plausible reason for it to bother with this deal. There are better offers for Francis out there. A Penny for Francis deal straight-up does more to help it than anythign the Lakers, Rockets or Nugs could put together for them, unless the Nugs want to throw in Hodge or the Rockets put in Luther Head. |
