    Right. That's the pick I'm talking about. Not our pick, but the one aquired from the Knicks... top 5 protected.

    Uh, Gasol is pretty clearly better than Amare Stoudemire. Probably Carmelo too. Here are a pair of recent top player rankings from NBA analysts who watch quite a bit:

    RT @daldridgetnt: Source: revised CP3 deal has not been submitted yet to league, is "still being developed." Rockets still in deal, per multiple sources.

    Join date 2010, huh?

    And that is not remotely true....I liked all of those player for specific roles, not as central pieces...

    It is like trying to explain calculus to a bunch of single celled Amoebas.

    Stern wants younger players to make it easier to sell the team but they kept Scola & Martin in the trade and Demps supposedly considers it important to get Odom as well.

    It could be rejected again if Demps is being stubborn and locking horns with Stern. He's not building a contender and it's short-sighted.

    It's certainly your right to have an opinion.

    But numerous well-connected people who follow this game more than you and I combined would disagree.

    Does Gasol actually have a 15% trade kicker? Someone please tell me that he doesn't!

    By believing you know nothing, you are admitting to believing you know nothing, meaning you know something :cool::cool::cool:

    Rockets will have changes to their part of proposed 3-way deal, league sources tell Y! Sports. They'd be sending more players to Hornets.
