    The nets have nothing to offer. Their whole trade depends on SnT.

    There is nothing more to get from the Nets, thats why the Nets needed a 3rd or 4th team to help get them more trade assets!

    What?? The Nets have already offered everything they have. Brook Lopez, MarShon Brooks, and their first rounders are about as good as it gets from them. If anything, it's the NETS that are being used as leverage....not the other way around.

    You talk out of your ass.

    Im not acting like we have diamonds that nobody knows about...but when you consider all the rookies (at least 4 of them coming up) as well as two possibly high lotto picks for next season...There is potential there. And not accepting that fact is pure stupidity on your part.

    After 7 NBA seasons, Bynum was healthy for the first time. Is it that irrational to maybe, possibly, want to rebuild the real way, rather than give up all of that for a center that you hope can stay healthy for 5-7 more years? Bynum isnt a once in a blue moon star. The guy has knee issues and major attitude problems. And you dont need a dominant center to win in the NBA. The list of champions should prove that to you. Does it help? Of course. But its not a prerequisite by any stretch of the imagination.

    Bynum, until we can get a solid supporting cast around him, wouldnt help the Rockets do anything. Like I mentioned...he was teamed up with Kobe and Gasol and still couldnt do much, in terms of winning. By the time the Rockets can surround Bynum with the appropriate talent to win, who knows if his knees could hold up or if his attitude could keep him out of trouble.

    You cant just go into every situation as naive as youve shown yourself to be. Like Ive stated, im torn between the two options of trying to get a potential star or rebuilding the correct way (Like the Thunder). Both options are viable and both options should be looked at.

    Your point of view, with blinders on, is similar to how a 6th grader looks at the game of basketball.

    Anybody who says that we dont need Bynum, or dont him on the Rockets(because he is immature), even after Bynum says he is intrested in signing a long-term extension with the Rockets. Is not a true Rockets Fan, or is an idiot

    If Bynum becomes the focal point of an offense, he could easily score 24-28ppg. That coupled with 11+ reb/game give him superstar production. No more second fiddle.

    Really? I was thinking the opposite. They're using the Nets to get us to raise our offer.

    The Nets would give them anything they asked for short of Deron Williams. It's not like they have a boatload of assets over there. That's why they have had to con teams into giving up #1 picks for Marshon Brooks and to take on Kris Humphries.

    If the Magic don't deal the Rockets out of their cap space we would have enough to sign him. His agent does not want to deal with Portland and it would be pretty dumb for Phoenix to tie up over a third of their cap space with two good but not great players.
