TRADE ACCEPTED

No, I wouldn't do that trade. I think Mutombo is on his last legs. He just doesn't bring much to the table to me.
Although Houston is a good player and great shooter, he would make this team smaller and less able to match up with the big teams.
In the process, we lose a horrible salary, which is a plus. But we also lose Walker who gives us a better chance to win that the two Knicks. I think we would lose creativity, ballhandling, playmaking, and even rebounding (since Deke wouldn't get enough minutes to make up for Walker's loss). So, I vote no.
