    They use a third team to give them some value for Paul while that third team gets Gasol?

    They should get a team like Indy involved with all their cap room. They would probably be willing to take martin and his last 2 yrs just for being there.

    Sounds like all sides are now against us, trying to hustle us with BS rumors like this. Stern has let himself get bigger than the game; I'm starting to entertain the idea that we just need to walk away as soon as possible.

    Morey has the Lakers by the Basketballs. He's not as desperate as the Lakes are for CP3.

    He will just wait them out.

    I think they want to wait till next off-season to spend on players like Eric Gordon who is from Indianapolis.

    How bout a package involving Granger + Collison back to New orleans while Indy receives Kevin Martin/Pau Gasol??

    Idk haha

    @paugasol: No matter what ends up happening, I'll always be the person & player that I am. Everything will work out.

    This reassures me.

    The Lakers, Hornets, and Rockets sent an updated deal to the NBA for approval on Saturday night, and there is no timetable yet for a decision.
    We're waiting for the news to crawl in here, but the league is so painted into a corner that the arm-twisting is taking time. Their 'big' additions so far have been Devin Ebanks, Patrick Patterson, and Courtney Lee to the Hornets, with the Lakers taking back Jason Smith and Marcus Banks to reduce Hornet expenditures. The Lakers are also said to be looking to acquire a first round pick to offer to sweeten the deal, but they're not going to give up the farm when many believe they gave up too much already. The Lakers are still in the Dwight Howard hunt, as well. Stay tuned.

    I guess already having David Lee and Biedrins's contracts in the frontcourt made the decision for them.

    Yeah, I get that. But it sounds as if some teams are ready to take the gamble - and it sounded like GS might be one of those teams. It seems like they are doing the smart thing: don`t give away all your young talent for a 31 year old star. They would`ve went nowhere. They have more and better young talent than we do - they might be one star away from competing, but they don`t panick. Hard to believe I say that about the Warriors...
