    Pau Gasol did not practice and left the facility early to undergo medical tests on a strained right quadricep. He is listed day-to-day

    We didn't have to give up anything for Hakeem and he was our franchise player and most of all wanted to be here.

    31 is not old, particularly not for an oversized guy who can shoot.

    Scola I would be worried about because of his lack of size and athleticism.

    Not true. We had to give up the possibility of trading him for Danny Manning. ;)

    Gasol may like it just fine in Houston. We have such a good organization, I can't imagine him hating it here once he got here. Wasn't Ariza upset when he was traded here, but then warmed up to the idea?

    Barring catastrophic injury, skilled 7-footers typically age gracefully.

    Link?

    Don't report things that aren't true.

    Just like that bum that said we want Bynum instead of Gasol.

    I think martin just sees this as pointless...practicing with the team when he's almost certainly out, hence his attitude...but if he stays i think he'll be fine. I dont see why he wouldnt want to come back when, like he said recently, houstong ave him the opportunity to get back on track and believed in him. I think he's just down about leaving.

    I'm confused as to why Morey is so hot and heavy on Gasol. I'm assuming he thinks Gasol is just one piece of th puzzle and not the main piece. I also wouldn't think he's in our long term plans.

    I am glad to see Lakers future hinges on what we decide to do for them. Good to see them beg us for our talent to help them get a superstar. Ironic since people keep saying our players arent worth much but the whole trade is made up of our players to get Chris Paul for them while all they give up to New Orleans is Lamar Odom.

    yeah, he's just saying they leaked it out, so now it's out in the open, more likely to happen than when its just rumors, but it doesnt mean Martin is upset at the team/morey.

    LOL this reminds me so much during the lockout patiently waiting to see if the Owners and Players had agreed to a new CBA or not.

    It's exactly that. Martin doesn't want to leave because he loves where he is at! He's not upset because he has to come back to Houston!
