SpearsNBAYahoo Marc J. Spears If the Rockets land Gasol in 3-way trade, expect them to make a strong run at Nuggets free agent center Nene, source tells @YahooSports.
Ok, I checked the numbers. This would put the Hornets over the luxury tax while having to add several more players to meet the minimum roster. Broussard was the one who started the whole Dwight & CP3 to the Lakers rumor. So...
Twitter didnt say whose picks were going to NO. Still, i wouldnt even do Scola and Martin for Gasol unless we are getting something else helpful.
Morey always surprises. Martin+Scola for Gasol makes little sense, means something else would be coming back to the Rockets.
Kevin Martin and Scola plus picks for Gasol is one thing... But the Lakers essentially landing CP3 for Gasol is sickening.
I am torn on parting with Scola AND Martin for Gasol. General convention is you give up two good players for one great one, but I don't know.
Wow, we are really giving up a lot for Gasol..... And even if we get Nene, who is going to be our shooting guard?
If Morey trades Martin and Scola for Gasol I'm done with him. You have to be on some good crack if you do that deal. No ****ing way.
I expect the Martin part is more about dumping some salary in order to drop more money for Nene. Lowry Lee ? Gasol Nene that's a darkhourse for contender.

Courtney Lee, of course....doesnt make the trade a good one, but we do have a capable SG on the bench.
If we trade Martin and Scola, it would mean we keep a lot of our young players. So I'm assuming it would be Courtney Lee with Terrence Williams backing him up.
