Pay attn to the WHOLE trade people... This trade would also free up additional cap space to go after another player (Nene). If Martin goes Lee can fill in for him. Patterson can fill in for Scola. This will not be the only move Morey makes. Just wait!
I am off the Morey bandwagon, another move to keep us on the perpetual mediocrity treadmill, not good enough to win it all, not bad enough to win the lottery and rebuild.
thank you for keeping your brain turned on while all of this is happening, it seems like everyone sees PAU GASOL for scola martin and dragic, and their all mad but what happens when you team Pau with a big man like NENE or CHANDLER or even HAYWOOD. Then you have the best front line in the whole league.
Morey is a genius! "Morey is a genius!" Ever since Morey has been the GM of the Rockets, people here have been declaring Daryl Morey a genius. STOP IT. Morey is one of the worst GM's in the NBA and a joke. He just helped the Lakers get one of the best players in the NBA and got fleeced in the deal. But yeah I'm sure he'll find a way to get Dwight Howard.
As much as it pains me to agree with the OP. I just dont understand the logic of trading Kevin Martin, and a solid backup PG( did we get any draft picks back) SMH
gasol is a more valuable piece than all of the players we gave up combined. he may not produce as much as all of them combined but it's not about winning this year. we are rebuilding. we got extra cap space, a TE, and a very valuable piece that can be moved for something good later on.
FIRE MOREY'S ASS NOW! i don't like how we just gave up Scola and Martin for Gasol. that's BS! Morey is an *******!
Morey had a couple good moves which have over shadowed his many bad moves. People would hang on this guys nut sack, and I've never understood it. Now people are starting realize he's not god, and I'm laughing. If we do give a draft pick, he needs to be fired.
I am praying you are right and Morey is not done. It will interesting to see if Morey can get another player. A center is still what the team needs.
Consolidation of "assets" Scola + Martin to get a legit top 15 player in Gasol. As for Dragic - Morey was interested in Johnny Flynn for some time, so he must think he can pick up the slack at the backup PG position. Plus, for the future we have Sergio Lull. But if we give up our pick next year, that makes me sad panda.
