Because that's pretty much what Daryl Morey wants to do - amass draft picks and upside ("assets"), and then trade them for superstar players?
Doesn't matter though, if we get the trade, Nene is gone. Slight chance at Marc Gasol, but, the point was Gasol/Nene.
the most logical thing is lakers give a draft pick...thats it...maybe take a player contract..but that sucks for NO The nba veto would basically cost them Ariza lol...how does that help? you can always trade him later
With the way we're stockpiling assets, this is how I feel like the team is right now. It's gonna blow!
I feel like the teams are just going to have a few minor tweaks to the deal and see if Stern would kill it twice.
Not always the best move to accept the first offer. Look at what Albert Pujols just got from the Angels by sitting on the Marlins offer for for a day or two.
The Jordan sweepstakes is still open. GS only offering $42/4 years while the Clippers put out $40/4 years We could put up $44/4 now without the trade.
Because he may be holding out hope that the Rockets can still do the Gasol trade and make him a comparable offer. He'd proabably take (a little) less to play with Gasol and the Rockets than to play for New Jersey. Just a guess.

Lee too, we'd be short on 2-guards if he left. Could use Budinger and Morris too. Jordan Hill it is then!
