The Rockets Report: Stro' Won't Go By Bill Ingram for HOOPSWORLD.com Jul 2, 2006, 18:59 The Houston Rockets have hit a glitch in their attempts to finalize the trade that would send Rudy Gay and Stromile Swift to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for veteran swingman Shane Battier. The glitch? Swift told the Rockets point blank that he would not report to Memphis. He walked away from the Grizzlies last summer to sign as a free agent in Houston, but his uninspired play has caused the Rockets to re-think the 17.4 million they have wrapped up in Swift. When the Grizzlies emerged as interested in having him back , the Rockets were only too happy to oblige. So now that Swift is stubbornly refusing to go back to Memphis - and a player has 36 hours to report after a trade or the trade is rescinded - the Grizzlies have revealed that they have a bigger plan in mind. The idea is that Swift would not stay in Memphis, where Jerry West just drafted the highly-touted Alexander Johnson, but rather be a part of an additional deal. Swift winds up somewhere else, while the Rockets end up getting an additional player as part of the three-team package. Enter Mike James. Free agent Mike James has been in Houston hoping for a call from the local boys for quite some time. Several other teams have called, but James has been holding out for a meeting with the Rockets. That meeting finally came on Saturday, when Jeff Van Gundy ultimately resigned to meeting with his former sixth man. How well that meeting went may determine the future of this deal. The Rockets could certainly use the scoring that James brings to the table, but he's too short to start at the two and he's not a selfless enough player to be at the point. The Rockets can't afford James, so the only way he comes is if another team signs him and the gets in bed with the Memphis deal. So the Rockets could potentially make out pretty well on this deal if a third team can be found to make it all come together. Houston sends out Gay and Swift, gets Battier and James, and then uses whatever is left of their resources to grab a true two. Or maybe a three who would allow McGrady to slip over to the three. I've said before and I will say again that Utah free agent Matt Harpring would be a nice fit with the Rockets' style of play. It could also be that acquiring Battier makes it less important to find a two. If McGrady slides over to that position and Battier starts alongside him, the problem could be solved that way. 链接：http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=537072&sid=d4d36b993d49b1c334097707917b24de ───────────────────────────────────── ───── 消息虽然也是转载于HOOPSWORLD.com，可信度有限。不过我觉得还是有可能的 文章大意是说，swift强烈拒绝回到灰熊，所以这个交易现在出现阻滞。 新的解决放方案是变成三方交易，先由别的球队签下跟火箭眉来眼去的假帮主（现在 火箭和mj虽然旧情复燃，但是好像价钱还谈不拢），把swift送至第三队 这样就有可能变成： 火箭送出 swift＋gay（或者再加些什麽） 换来 battier＋mj（或者再加些什麽） 但愿是真的，可以给cd个修正的机会 swift，最後再为火箭做点贡献就继续闹 --
