    Can anyone give me an update? Are we just giving up what was offered in the first deal or more?

    Screw Gasol, I'd rather do this something like this.

    Rockets get:
    Brook Lopez

    Nets get:
    Dwight

    Orlando gets:
    Scola
    Martin

    Orlando would also get young prospects from the nets and rockets. Rockets sign Nene after the trade.

    Wow, Rockets get screwed by Stern. The only reason we have to include additional players is so Stern saves face by not allowing the EXACT SAME REASONABLE TRADE which he BLOCKED YESTERDAY to go through. Screw Stern.

    That being said, if Morey still wants to get the deal done, he should vehemently oppose any scenario where they have to send out Lee or Patterson -other than those two, I think most of our players are easily replaceable. Lowry is untouchable too, but that goes without saying.

    Other than age, Gasol is far superior to Brook Lopez in almost every conceivable way.

    Supposedly Morey is trying free up more salary in order to match the Nets offer to Nene.

    In this case, I think nene prefers to play with Howard and Dwill in NJ to chase a ring

    Nene isn't even as good as Scola, this is going to turn out horrible.
