    Hornets will receive Odom, Scola, KMartin, Dragic and the Knicks' 2012 1st-round pick (via Houston). Rockets get Pau Gasol.

    If we saved cap space to resign Chuck Hayes we are screwed. Morey better go get one of those top center guys.

    The only way this deal is even remotely palatable to me is if it means we ARE NOT going after Nene (can you say softest, most expensive front court in the NBA?) we DON'T offer our picks and if this means we are going all in after Deron Williams.

    Otherwise, ughh, I just don't understand this deal.

    So you're telling me BEST CASE scenario we could roll with a starting 5 of:

    Lowry
    Lee
    Budinger
    Nene
    Gasol

    ?????

    Who in the NBA would be scared of that?! WHILE we give LA Chris Paul using OUR assets?

    I just don't understand this at all.

    Your source is using his height and weight from when he was 18 years old.

    But of course you are such an expert.

    Navarro is 6-4 200

    Stick to the actual facts please.

    I like the deal, just because it makes us worse (hooray draft 2012). However, if it's true that we're giving up a draft pick in this deal, Morey needs to be fired. If anything, we should be getting a draft pick.

    Championship runs for the Lakers. Another mediocre era for the Rockets.

    Can someone remind me what draft picks the rockets have?

    We have the knicks pick in 2012, but it is top 5 lotto protected.

    We traded our 2012 pick to NJ, but it is lotto protected.

    We picked up a 2nd rounder in the Thabeet/battier trade? Is it Memphis' pick?

    We have our own 2nd rounder?

    Do we have any other picks from NY from the Tmac trade?

    Holy Cow!! Why are we giving up picks too?? I hope we end up recieving someone else significant in this trade... As of right now, this trade makes us worse... I'm seriously hoping there's another trade in the works..

    We essentially straded for Paul....but difference is, Paul wouldn't stayed here and we would have traded away Scola, Martin, Dragic for nothiing. Atleast we get Pau for 3 years.

    I agree with you. Couldn't have made a trade without Scola and KMart, but I wish we could have traded Budinger instead of Dragic. Dragic's play towards the end of last season looked promising for a future with the Rockets. Budinger, on the other hand, I can't say I've ever felt the same way about his game.

    You should have at least mentioned Juan Carlos Navarro, he appears in every page of the thread.

    Wow. I see the cap space angle, but giving up a pick? This season seems an opportune time to rebuild. I guess Les loves being .500.

    It's a garbage pick. They just signed Chandler.
