    I can't possibly speculate anymore. I am just going to wait and see what happens...I know DM is always thinking a step or two ahead

    Doesn't NJ own our pick this year if we make the playoffs?

    Source confirms framework of revamped trade agreement sending CP3 to Lakers has been reached, pending approval of the commissioner.

    The key changes, as @WojYahooNBA reports, involve the Lakers and Hornets, source says. Rockets' role "virtually unchanged."

    @clutchfans With Nene seemingly priced out of Rockets' range, the delay caused by league's veto may actually have directly cost them Chuck.

    Nobody is factoring in the effect on our defense. We would improve from around 24th to 10th or better. I don't think McKale is going to put up with serious holes in defense on HIS team.

    The fact that Nene ahs yet to ink a deal with the Nets makes me think that he's also waiting for us.

    Am I alone in this?

    Nene is going to be another Carlos Lee for our town.

    Rockets would still get Pau Gasol and send Scola and Martin to Hornets, source says.

    Unclear how league directive that New Orleans get younger, with more valuable draft picks, would be satisfied.

    I just don't see NJ offering that kind of money, but who knows.

    Yep. Hoping it's a crappy pick for either them or (hopefully not) Orlando.

    Grizz won't match an offer if Marc says he wants to play with brother Pau. As simple as that.

    Don't act all ignorant smartass because they weren't the problem. Our problems last year were:
    - no true center
    - no discipline on defense, which is partly RA's fault
    - AB distraction
    - no good back-up SF
    - Yao unfortunate injury

    If we amnesty Thabeet, we wouldnt be far from it... And if NJ signs him doesnt that knock them out of the DH12 sweepstakes?
