    The Rockets are close to trading Glen Rice and his expiring contract to Atlanta for Glen Robinson.

    I really don't like this trade for the Rockets. They already have problems finding shots for players and Big Dog is a ball hog with no defense.

    He's a major upgrade from Glen Rice, but he doesn't fit this team.

    This trade may look good in paper..but as the hawks found that he was a cancer..and were better without him.I'm not sure this is the best option for Houston to take.On paper francis,mobley,ming and robinson would look good..but somehow i don't see this working well

    that trade rumor is a 6 months old.

    we wont go for the big dog since the emergence of james posey. not to mention, we have nachbar under contract. and we can still match any offer for TMo, which we most likely will.....considering hes 1 of the only players on the team who looks to take the mid range jumper

    the really juicy rumor is the jermaine oneal 1.

    Big Dog is an awful defender and he can barely even move :uh:

    I'd keep Rice, he can still spot up and shoot the three and like it was said here, there are already too many scorers on the Rockets.
