    Let's be the Lakers facilitator again...

    Houston Receives: Pau Gasol
    LA Receives: Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu, Luis Scola
    Orlando Receives: Andrew Bynum, Kevin Martin, Goran Dragic, Knicks 2012 1st, Lakers 1st.

    Exactly because like I said before, Gasol did NOT want to come to Houston... if that trade happened, he would had been the bad egg out of the bunch, being a bad influence in the locker room and showing little work ethic... So I am kinda glad it fell apart... :rolleyes:

    martin isn't piss he knew the hornet wanted him in the deal. and he know we need a CENTER so he understand he was just hurt seem like odom emotions but held it in u can tell..he played it off. like really hurt not mad. but he said thats what they want "hornets" i dun think morey would of just threw him in there...esp our top scorer.

    Things are being broken in the Rockets front office as we type.

    Thinking about the Lakers possibly ending up with Howard and CP3 and having to deal with them in our conference for 8 yrs.

    Thinking about Pau coming here and not being happy.

    Thinking about Nene not signing with us.

    Thinking about a backcourt with no real proven scorer.

    Thinking about their being plenty of other teams in the league to make trades with.

    Thinking about getting a high pick this yr and drafting a superstar.

    too bad it was never about NO getting decent stuff in return... it was about not letting LA get CP3

    Exactly. This is a perfect case of 1+1>2. Nene and Gasol combined makes for top interior D. Each player by himself is much less potent.

    Convincing the #Hornets ownership group - the NBA - on CP3 deal seems to be the biggest concern now, and not necessarily NOH GM Dell Demps.

    THE WORST THING ABOUT THIS IS LES WILL NOT ALLOW THIS TEAM TO TANK.,,

    IF WE GET ANOTHER 14TH PICK AGAIN, IM GONNA HAVE TO KILL SOMEONE.

    You know the funny thing is?

    Cuban always whines and gets his way. Whether it was about Yao or whatever else it is, now he possibly gets Odom for what?

    The original deal should have went through. The NBA is sitting in the middle of the deal trying to dictate who goes where...that is just horrible.

    Have you ever thought that this situation could motivate him to have a career year? To really lock down on defense and score with more authority?

    Morey needs to learn from Cuban. He gets Odom for nothing and still saves his cap space next year while our GM was about to overpay for Gasol and Nene.

    Pau = Do NOT want

    CP3, Howard = Want!

    Screw the Lakers! Lets get the top-notch superstar player! Why should we continue helping L.A.? What good did they ever do to us for us to be helping them out as much as we are?! :mad::mad::mad:

    I don't get these continuous comments that the team with Gasol would not be a contender. Please name any other teams besides LA, Oklahoma, and Memphis and possibly S.A that are heads and shoulders above the Rockets.

    They would easily have been the 5 seed and depending on other factors possibly the 3rd seed in the west.
