    Sad to see Scola, especially like this. A true warrior.

    Paid too much. Good player, but just overpaid.

    What funny is Dwight will be playing with the same teammates in Houston, as he did in Orlando. JRich, Duhon & maybe Hedo. Unbelieveable.

    Rockets don't do this unless they have need for 10 million dollars in cap space.

    This is being done because we do not know something. Howard must be on his way here for Morey to do this. I do not think he would just do it "hoping that the trade is complete." Something is up.

    You will be missed Luis. We now MUST keep Royce White to feed Dwight some nifty passes in the paint.

    This is a real sad day. It may turn out to be a good move, but still really hate to see this. Scola really embraced the city. He will be missed.

    This offseason has been unbelievably terrible. Morey has honestly surprised me with how bad he is.

    Ugh, hate to see him go but this is a business move. There are going to be tons of teams that would love his services.

    The Rockets will be paying most of Luis' salary. If the Mavs win the amnesty auction they pay the % of the contract they bid.
