    I don't know. As with most Championship teams so much depends on the role players. Are we going to get the Johny Flynn of two years ago? If so major hit. Will TWill finally play up to his potential? If so Lee could be back on the bench. Will Morris push Bud for the starting spot and will PPat take the next step in his developement? Can the Rockets resign Chuck before he bolts?

    So many question and no answers for you. But at least there is the potential.

    Read Clutch's most recent blog here. No need to sign players to get incrementally better. Play the young guys in a shortened season and take chances with a very deep draft class.

    That seems too straight forward coming from you. Is there some cryptic message in there? Are we getting a free toyota tundra?

    point taken and agreed. if ever a time for a trade like this . . . it's now . . . doesn't mean I have to like it on principle. If we connect on another piece, then i'll feel a bit better.

    I despise the Lakers. I absolutely love watching Chris Paul play point guard. This is a really tough day. I think I'm going to get drunk.

    Whats the point of this deal? Adding Pau and removing Martin&Scola makes us about.... the same.

    Im not sure that anyone has acknowledged that its a possibility Gasol gets flipped in the next 72 hours.

    Not saying I want this to happen. I like Gasol, and he's got a few more years left to build around him as he should age very well.

    How does having Gasol instead of Scola and Martin change any of that? If anything, this frees up 40 minutes of playing time for a young guy. So what exactly are you complaining about then? :confused:
