    Pau Gasol didn't even want to be here... I'd say this is a blessing in disguise.

    See that is smarter anyway, Paul and Kobe don't fit on the court, and with Stern calling the shots, the guys they are dealing with are not the decision makers, where in Orlando they are.....

    That trade I couldn't see but Bynum and Gasol for Howard and Turk could be a reality.

    Do you need a third team? :(

    The NBA is a joke. This is utterly ridiculous. This is what makes people HATE the NBA. I am a die hard rockets fan and will continue to support them regardless who is playing, but this is BULLS**T! David Stern needs to jump off a bridge to save everyone the headache and time

    Deal Off ... Again

    The CP3-to-L.A. deal has broken off -- again. This time, the Lakers ended things, and will instead send Lamar Odom to Dallas

    Could it be that the Lakers figured out that we were going to flip Gasol to Orlando for Howard and were thinking "why don't we do that deal ourselves"?

    Of course they are. League can't stop it either. But hey, at least the Rockets didn't let them get a 6 ft. point guard. We can all be happy for that.

    The CP3 trade talks disturbingly mirror the labor negotiations. The NBA pushed for too much, tried too hard and it blew up in their face.

    So what is the benefit of the trade exception for LA?

    They can't give NO what they want, are they now going after Dwight directly?


    Will they still try to trade Pau, now that Odom is gone?
