    Also, kinda of sucks that Marc Gasol is restricted. I'd imagine the Gasol's would love playing on the same squad. Gasol, Gasol would be a cool frontcourt combo.

    Jarret Jack will start over dragic and I don't see Ariza shifting around either.

    This deal needs to be finalize already before we get left out and Murray leaves us with nothing again.

    Lowry to Gasol will be the sh^t. Can't wait!!! :D

    Chris Bryant is not going to win one this year with Mike Brown.
    I see the ZEN master giving it a shot later

    Crunching numbers doesn't always translate into winning basketball. Thabeet, Hill, Twill, and all the rest of the garbage he's collected has really worked out....

    This X 1000. Everyone thinks they know what they are talking about. It's so funny. Everyone just shut up and enjoy tweets.

    How the **** is this trade in win now mode if the Lakers get CP3? I doubt this team has a better chance of making the playoffs.

    irony strikes but I think Gasol will be playing better once he thinks he's alpha again

    i think the only reason the rockets move scola and martin for pau is to make room for patterson at the 4, and lee at the 2, while acquiring a legit 7'0 with game.

    still don't like this trade as it doesn't clear cap or give us young pieces to build around. plus we are giving up a lot of talent for one guy.

    It makes perfect sense if you think Les wants a name he can use to sell tickets. It doesn't matter if tanking is a bolder and smarter strategy, because Les needs to fill those seats this season. I cannot think of any other explanation that makes sense. With this trade, the Rockets are officially Fool's Gold.

    Martin gives up just as many points as he makes so in essence he has zero impact; Lee on the other hand can lock a man down, finish and has a good shot... then gasol is an upgrade on Scola (be realistic); then sign a Center like Sam Dam or Nene and you have a stronger team all around. It's simple math.
