    #Rockets' aggressive stockpiling of picks could finally consummate longtime pursuit of Pau Gasol. #NBA


    Ken Berger thinks I am right:

    Is Plan A constructing a Howard/Gasol front-court and hoping that can attract D-Will or Eric Gordon?

    THe only trade thhat would involve the Lakers Rockets and Orlando...is if Howard goes to Lakerland and joins Pay, and Kobe, Bynum comes to Houston, and ORL gets their picks...

    But that wouldnt happen, bc the Rockets will want Howard with the High value picks...just imo

    i'm not a huge fan of pau.. i still think his best years are behind him so i'm not sure why houston is so ready to give up a lot to get him. his days in memphis proved he's not fit to be an alpha dog.

    if we can somehow get DH *and* gasol in the same front court, that might be something worth salivating over.

    I don't want Pau. Only way I take him is with a few other pieces being brought in. He can't be our main guy. No way.

    Atlanta wants Gasol.

    LA - Howard
    Atlanta - Pau
    Houston - Bynum, Josh Smith

    Don't merge the Rockets trade & Pau Gasol trade stories together. Rockets not pursuing Pau Gasol according to a source
