Count me in as one of the few who doesn't mind including Scola in the deal. I feel Patterson is more than capable of stepping in for him.
sam_amick Sam Amick As has been reported, NBA requested 3-team deal had younger pieces, possibly more draft picks for NO. No word who's in it yet, though.
Well we only need to get the 19 million he is paid now. 12 million from Martin, 5 million Thabeet and another young talent.
Mike Prada: If this trade includes more young players, they're probably coming from Houston. So which players drop out of the deal?
I'm thinking if we had kept close to the original deal, we maybe gave up Thabeet+Hill as well as Scola+Martin+Picks... But if we gave up basically young players, it BETTER not had still included Scola or Martin, as well as our best young players (Lee, Bud, Patterson, Morris AND Martin/Scola) AND picks or I will be very very pissed off!!!
Im Hoping we can Hold on to C-Bud,Patt Patt and Lee. Id like to See Hill,Twill,Thabeet and Flynn heading to "nawlans"
I agree hard to let go patterson....but Lowry/Martin/Scola/Gasol.... thats a win-win...and hard to let LEE go...but i'd rather have that trade but they did want young players they said n picks..
Chris_Broussard Chris Broussard Don't yet have details of changes to proposed trade, but league wanted NO to get more draft picks & youth & maybe for LA to take back more $
And how else do we clear out the PF logjam? Don't forget that DMo will be here next year, wanting minutes. Look at Europe to see how the just turned 21 year old is progressing.
