    If it happens anyway it's more than likely cause they need to clear more cap space to match Nene's offer from the Nets.

    Direct cut and paste. But I still don't believe it. The only thing Morey has ever paid too much for is Ariza who he immediately flipped for Lee.

    Where the younger assets would come from was still being negotiated early Saturday, with potential candidates to go to New Orleans being Patrick Patterson, Courtney Lee and an assembly of draft picks, according to an executive briefed on the talks.

    Saying "wrong side of 30" really makes it sound like you know what you're talking about, much more so than simply saying "31". I'm much more likely to give credence to a post that points out that a player is "on the wrong side of" 30 years old, over a post that simply tells me a player's age. In fact, I'm ready to put anyone who simply tells me a guy's age on ignore, because that doesn't automatically let me know whether or not he's on the right or wrong side of 30. If you don't know whether or not someone's on the right or wrong side age-wise, why should I take anything you say seriously?

    It still might be Patterson and Lee instead of Scola and Martin - we`d only have a 15 million salary problem that way...

    It's a fantasy sports update which links to a blog post as its source which doesn't say what the fantasy sports update says it says

    If Denver offer Nene a 5th year that could mean Houston is forced to offer $70M/4yr.

    Might be the best news of the night... but remind me again: why do the Lakers get Paul, when they have nothing that NO actually wants?

    I don't see morey giving up lee AND pat!

    And it shouldnt set the deal back any either.

    These three teams don't want the time they've spent to go wasted, not adding one of those guys shouldn't be a deal breaker...

    Lol. The warriors want Chris Paul and have Lee so this must be a funny threat to Morey so he can add more of his pieces.

    Lakers asked all over before to see who want Gasol and the Rockets were the only takers.

    He didnt turn words around. I don't know his reputation, maybe he embellishes? :)

    He copied and pasted text from one article, that wasn't part of the link he provided.
