Cool!!! I was for the trade but when i found out Pat and Lee might have been added I changed my mind. GO TEXANS TOMORROW!!!!!!! POSSIBLE CLINCHER
I'm actually laughing because this is how I think everything played out.... 1. Either Morey has a man crush on Gasol or Les pushed this so Morey added Lee or Ppat 2. The Lakers were like fine we will add a draft pick and couldn't get one 3. Deal stalls until the lakers can get a draft pick (boggles the mind as to why they didn't want to give up their own) 4. Lakers pursue the Rockets to add the pick 5. Rockets say No because we were already getting butt raped so Morey can oggle at Gasol all day 6. Lakers threaten to trade Gasol to Warriors 7. Warriors say F you (something Rockets should have done) 8. Lakers Pull out (Something Rockets should have done)

clutchfans ClutchFans.net Can only imagine how angry Rockets are right now. RT @WojYahooNBA The 3-way deal to send Chris Paul to Lakers has "fallen apart," per source
http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/...pull-trade-talks-chris-paul-according-sources It's over. so..no more talking about Just let it be and worry about our ROCKETS.
This is exactly what Stern wanted. He pushed and pushed for teams to give more to the point where he knew one of the teams would say F it! Stern should have never been involved in the first place. He makes the devil look good.

ChrisMannixSI Chris Mannix Have to wonder if Boston, which has been in a holding pattern w/David West, will try to get back in and try and piece together a mega deal ChrisMannixSI Chris Mannix Clippers are also a realistic possibility to make a play.
It so disappointing when you are on the cusp of something good finally and then... nothing; you're back to the same state: best team not in the playoffs.
Never wanted whiny, so I'm happy about that. Worried about Martin now :/ This whole thing has been one big annoying joke... Stern is pathetic.
WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski ESPN.com is reporting that the Lakers have pulled out of the trade, which a source in the talks confirms.
Not sure, but Kmart already did not like how Morey treated players as assets, after all this bs he probably wants nothing to do with this team.
Hope you enjoy life in mediocrity. Commish in 2 sports screwing over Houston teams. I'm about done with this. Thanks for nothing Stern/Bud.
