Poll is still 2:1 against. Ppl may be sweeting on the deal out of faith more moves are coming through, but I don't see it. This trade scares me. Kobe increased Gasol's value but he still disappeared last year. He's still soft. He never got Memphis anywhere. Are we that hard up for a center that Gasol is worth thinking high playoff seed? Don't see it.
Word is the Hornets would be receiving Montiejunas and Parsons from the Rockets is what is being speculated on the Hornets boards.....
Sounds like the Rockets are doing everything to keep the players involved under tight wraps. Good for them. Before this, Morey always did a great job not unveiling trades until it happened. My guess is.... HORNETS - Martin, Dragic, Patterson or Budinger, Knicks 1st round, & LA 2013 1st round pick ROCKETS - Pau LAKERS -Paul, Ariza -or something similar. Works for the most part on ESPN trade machine. Keeps enough on the books that LA will have a much harder time signing DHoward. Also good for Houston, because obviously Nene is still in play, and Scola will stay here in Houston to add depth and contend for a playoff run NOW. Houston Gets a lineup PG- Lowry, Flynn, Lee, Twill SG- Lee, Twill SF - Twill, Morris, Parsons(possibly keeping Budinger) PF - (Nene?)Scola, Morris, Hill(possibly keeping Patterson) C - Gasol, Hill, (-Thabeet in Amnesty) -Looks like a team that will be 5th seed in the West to me. Only make sense if the Rockets can still pull Nene in free agency. My best bet. YES they can, unless he would have already committed today.
Are you serious? You know nothing about the details or anything involved. Tell me, how are we screwed?
Whatever man. Let morey keep the team as it is and add dalembert. Let's get another 14th pick. Its better than this trade where we could make the playoffs and compete.
Typical Raiders fan response. You're used to your team getting raped in trades, the Rockets however are not.
I hope not. Hopefully it's something random like the Lakers sending us a first rounder and we sending Jordan Hill to NO.
We need to keep some young players if some team like the Pacers or Sixers decide to deal Iggy or Granger at the deadline.
htownrox1 really needs to STFU. Besides Patterson and Morris what young guy on our squad has any potential to blossom into an all-star type player. I love what Morey is doing. Out with the old, assets, coaching, and start the decade fresh.
Yeah, what kind of stupid team would want TWO very solid ~7 footers... That's just a ridiculous plan.
Yeah...that's fine. No Patterson, Lee, Lowry, or Morris. I like the potential of Montiejunas, but he's probably years away from contributing.
Well as of know we are reportedly offering Scola, Martin, and possibly 2 younger players for Gasol. Someone please tell me with a straight face that this is a good trade for us.
!!! thats what i was saying....just add dalembert and see from there...dont even see how the team play yet....understand we did already. but K-Mart and Gasol COMBO..plus lowry of course..imagine that man..dats like our 3 Main Players like New york n Miami.
Patterson, Morris and Motiejunas should be off the table. They can have any combination of the other young guys.
People need to chill the **** out. Let Morey do his job. He got us Martin Scola and Lowry! all we are doing speculating and guessing. in morey I trust.
