    Newton's law of motion: To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    more likely than not, we get something in return for those 2 young players.

    I'm so sorry Nostradamus. I'm sorry you can see into the future and see what I can't. According to you, we are getting Gasol, and possibly Nene or Marc Gasol. Ok cool got it. You see the big picture got it.

    I have faith that Morey isn't going to acquire certain pieces just to make a move. There is a method here.

    However, if there isn't and we end up with Gasol and nothing else materializes, then fire him.

    He's spent the better part of his tenure here acquiring these pieces, Les has to at least give him the chance to cash in his chips and see what happens after the dust settles.

    I for one am getting my popcorn ready.

    The more I think about it. Stern said no to Paul going to LA period.
    Because he owns the Hornets and can basically stick it to the Union by not allowing this part of the deal.

    He doesn't need Dan Gilbert or Mark Cuban to remind him of all the lockout BS they just went thru. How much crow they ate. This is personal. NBA has lost revenue big time. Lost fans, season ticket holders. Think about it.

    This is retribution, restructured deal or not.

    lol

    If the Rockets give up Kevin Martin and Courtney Lee without getting a SG in return, then that's the dumbest freaking thing I've ever heard.

    by reworking their end, maybe they mean we get Okafor?? that would consolation if Nene chooses somewhere else. Although I still think Nene is better

    Exactly.

    I firmly believe that If we include Lee and Patterson, we are keeping Martin somehow.

    The more we add, the more the Lakers have to give us. I think they will give us their caproom. (They could take Thabeet/Hill of our hands)

    Worse case scenario we end up with a higher lottery pick.

    Much better than mediocrity.

    Haha. Yeah. I still have faith in Morey to work this out though.

    We'll see. At this point it's just a bunch of speculation.

    If we include them both we better end up with Jeff Green and Martin.

    This would be alot easier if Gasol didnt have a trade kicker.

    Gasol is 31, let's face it regardless what anyone
    thinks of him his best years are probably behind
    him. Nene has a history of injuries. Combine the
    two and we become a solid middle road team for
    a few years and the right back where we started.
    Would rather keep the young talent than give half
    our team away for Gasol. Not worth the trade.

    Morey isn't an idiot. He won't give up all of them. The names mentioned are kmart, scola dragon, lee, ppat, and some picks. It won't be ALL of these. It would be a certain combo. I'm sure morey knows we would need a sg.
