    I'm sure they will come to some agreement.

    The Rockets really got hurt by this. Our players and GM. They need to throw him a bone.

    Ill say it for all those that may agree with me. I am angry. Not because I thought the Rockets were going to be way better or way worse. Not because what I may have felt as to the winners and losers of this trade.

    I am :mad: because the owners stopped a trade merely because they could.

    To please their petty little egos.

    This.

    A complete joke that the league steps in and does this.

    Gasol (potentially) Nene and Chuck how could any one be opposed to that?

    The owners blocked this trade primarily because all the team owners pay a percentage of the hornets salary cap. Thus trade meant the owners would have to pay more than they were willing to take on. They r justified in felling this way. This also won't apply to other teams making trades

    Anyone who thought landing the best power forward in the league for Martin/scola was a bad trade is beyond delusional. You should all be ashamed. I'm pissed now. What a joke.

    You are absolutely right about disliking Gasol. I have no love for the guy. He lacks the heart of someone like Scola. To lose both Scola and Martin plus draft picks and then have to think about routing for a team with Gasol on it was too much.

    If you're a fan of no defense and 115 ppg and flopping, then you want K-Mart and Scola over Nene + Pau

    At least MadMax got his wish and Scola/Martin can lead the Rockets to another 14th pick.

    DM raging like a mad man. Burned all his Jordans and blaming MJ for this BS.

    I don't get why the NBA bought the Hornets in the first place, seemed like a disaster from the start.

    Broussard is reporting that the Lakers killed the deal because they want a big man back...

    Why... the... hell... were people here upset of the Pau trade? This was our shot at an all-star PF/C. What is up with the love fest that we have with our players. I bet some people here would complain about a Hayes for Lebron trade. I just simply don't understand.

    Why do the Hornets have a GM if he isn't going to be allowed to make any moves?

    THE OWNERS ARE A JOKE.

    Stopping a trade just because you didn't like it? wow, i am sure the owners would have stopped the big 3 in miami from signing together. this league might as well have the final scores written before the game started.

    Because Pau Gasol leading us to the 14th pick is so much more exciting.

    This is all fixed. I am convinced they have a script now between owners on who gets what.
