    #Rockets tried to get in mix for Gortat, with Kevin Martin going to #Magic, but "couldn't get it done."

    Thought I would start a thread to see what the board thinks about our potential "new direction". why trade Martin?

    lock/merge if this thread is unnecessary

    UPDATE at 3:06pm: Berg backed off of/clarified his report:

    Someone should be fired if that trade even went down.

    I am sure it wasn't Gortat for Martin straight up, Magic probably wanted to dump VC on us and Morey wanted others instead.

    Wow why wouldn't they do that. :confused:

    Glad the trade didn't go through.

    WTH is the obsession with Gortat?! Morey has been trying for a long time to get Martin and then wants to flip him for the Polish Hammer? I know that there was more to this deal probably Carter but still WTF?

    because hes a defensive liability. hes also an offensive liability if the refs arent giving him calls when he initiates contact.

    I got a question:

    Does that attempt mean that Morey may be trying to deal the players he got to build around Yao? I want to know because it seems that way at this point.

    "Since Yao is done, lets see if we can get some good pieces for a different type of squad."

    I think it says something about how much confidence the organization has in Courtney Lee.
