Haha Stern is nuts, he's basically saying: good deal for us, lopsided deal for LA and ok deal for Rockets. Let's make it a great trade for us, a good trade for LA and a terrible one for the Rockets! I am dead serious, if Morey falls for this he's the dumbest, yes even worse than that redneck CD, GM ever!
we would b giving up guards and maybe one sf or pf for a center den we would either trade for another big or sign a big we would b getting size in return
If okafor goes anywhere it will be LA. That should satisfy Dan Gilberts need for the Lakers to stay in the luxury tax area.
why would HOU give more when everyone else in the league with what happened are going to only give lowball offers?
Just forget. Seek legal action on the league and try to get draft pick compensation for the last deal that fell through. Who cares if the Lakers and Hornets get Paul? Time to look out for the Rockets and not others.
This is getting ridiculus. Now WE have to sweeten the deal? Really? We, who are already giving up two borderline all-star players that are on very reasonable contracts and a first rounder? And we aren`t even getting the best player of this trade, but a 31 year old star on the decline? Please Morey - please... I know how desperate you are to get a star, but take a look at the numbers and be reasonable. IF we have to include our young talents (PPat, CBud, Morris), you better make sure we get something in return. Even if it "only" is Okafur. That guy is on a bad contract, but a good defender and decent at the boards - would play great next to Gasol. And in the end, not nearly as bad overpayed as Nene is going to be. Still, I hate to bet on the next 3 years with Pau - especially if we have to give up one of our young hopefuls. With what`s going on elsewhere in the league, we are going nowhere with this team. Try to develop or draft a superstar and quit this madness with aging stars.
if we do give up more we all dont know wat morey has up his sleeve in morey we trust after this deal wer goin to do something big and i aint talkin about signing nene
Some of our CF posters were kissing mucho Maverick butt when the Mavs beat the Heat in the finals. Some of us where acting like we should cheer for the Mavs as is we were winning something last year! How ya like those "classy" Mavs now! Cuban & Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert have screwed our whole off season with their whining & b****in!
