    Some of you are acting like the league is looking out for Houston as well. They aren't they just don't want the Hornets to get screwed and could care less about the rockets.

    The amnesty goes away in a few weeks I think. I don't think it stays for long or will be an option in the future.

    trade begins trending, people look on doubtful, denial, outrage, accepting. Wait, deal axed. People rejoice, people mourn. David Stern becomes super villain. Chuck Hayes leaves

    Sounds like though that in addition to all we are giving up in this we need to add more as well as LA. Would we do this deal straight up for Pau? or are we only doing this deal because Morey is desperate to get something done? his Jedi mind trick persona that everyone says he has.....has gotten other gm's afraid to trade with him and thats where i feel we are.

    I wonder how much more "value" the Hornets franchise has with Jermaine freaking O'Neal? What are the "basketball reasons" behind this sign-and-trade?

    Apparently people want LA to take on some more salary and I think this is that extra salary.

    LA needs to take back more salary than they did in any CP3 deal... Thabeet and ONeal make a lot of sense...

    This has got to be wrapped into the 3-way, most likely Okafor going to Lakers.

    Spoke with a source close to #Celtics Jermaine O'Neal who said if he were to be traded to the #Hornets, JO would "never make it there."

    O'Neal contemplated retiring before this season, but came back for at least one more run at championship. Won't happen w/the #Hornets.
