    Morey has nothing to do with this, not his fault that Paul would not resign here.

    Stop being a tool.

    This deal never made any sense for the Rockets.

    Expert. haha I said it.
    Na Kobe's the bigger hog but Chris the second
    You thought Lebron was the ball hogging villain until you saw those two

    If it's Pau and Odom for Paul then the Lakers just ****ed themselves.

    bingo like i have stated for the third time..... :eek: how you fans liking the deal now? still like being mediocre? awesome but i applaud morey for trying to revamp the team cause we are getting nowhere. Say bye bye to any cp3/dwight in houston. and to gasol (top 15 player) and too whoever we could even remotely get now. Hooray for being a late lottery team!

    I can't even believe the Lakers could get Paul for Pau & Odom.

    Unreal.

    they have tons of money invested in the front court now (pau, odom, west, ariza, okafor).

    they will have to make a move for a guard. form the rockets POV i'm not really interested in any of them. we need to build around young players, not guys in their 30's.

    This is different. Gasol goes to New Orleans is good for us. The Lakers get smaller and Chris Paul and Bynum are not the pictures of health. Lakers did not get better losing Odom and Gasol to get Paul unless they end up getting Dwight.

    Gasol was the best player on the 2010 Lakers. 6-24 Kobe didnt bring in that title.

    Good luck on defense with no front court.

    Also the Hornets put themselves into luxury tax while helping the Lakers reduce theirs. I can't see Cubes being too happy about that.

    CP3 and Dwight were never going to come here, you can make it happen in your NBA 2k12 game, that's about it. I'd rather be mediocre than feel like I built a Laker dynasty.
