    Unfortunately, not happening. Seems like Demps is being paid by Jimmy ******* Buss. I still can't understand how the hell the 29 owners left the old GM there. Phewwww :rolleyes:

    F, no Bynum, we can't afford another injury prone center in Houston. From now on it has to be completely healthy players/

    So we give up Kmart (22+ ppg), Scola, a first round pick, Jordan Hill, Goran Dragic for ONE ****ING PLAYER? Are you serious? We should be the ones getting a 1st round pick.

    Gasol and cap space is worth more than Martin, Scola, Hill, and Knicks pick.

    We give up no D, no D, no D, no D and one pick for one of the best players in the NBA and clear huge amounts of cap for future signings. I'm good with it.

    Rockets were giving up that same first round pick and a second round pick in original deal.

    You may have a point there but I believe his contract would be easier to trade in a year or two if things don't work out. If the Pau/Nene frontcourt doesn't work out( which i have my doubts) we are stuck with Nene's untradable contract. Besides, you always have to give something when making a trade. Ariza's contract would be the lesser of two evils in this particular situation.

    It's only worth it if we get Nene nor Marc, or Dwight

    That's the face value of it.

    Miami didn't lose out when they traded Beasley for a second round pick.

    Kmart would be a bench shooter in any contender. Scola has been bullied by Gasol so many times.... Dragic? Let's wait for the final deal.

    This deal gives cap space to sign another big, aka Nene or Marc Gasol, and have Twin Towers in the paint. Scola is no Tower, he's a tree.

    one player who happens to be a top 15 NBA talent and is enough to make it worth while for either Marc Gasol's or Nene.....

    Other than that, yea man....OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!

    Gasol is worth it. The Rockets also get cap space.

    Nene's contract will only be 4 years, Pau is three years I think. They will both be in their primes here in Houston.
