    You're reading way too much into that. Morey says that all the time to make it known that he's not avoiding the questions, he's just not allowed to answer. If anything, it's a habit, far from an indication that something is brewing behind the scenes that has any significance

    i did some research looking at salaries and assets on realgm and hoopshype, and NO team has the ability to make a better offer than the Rockes to new orleans involving expiring contracts, cheap young talents and number of draft picks than the rockets. morey will definetly get something done this summer.

    I doubt CP3 or Melo would come here. Granger and/or Iggy would look great in the ketchup and mustard garb.

    I agree, we are basically the only one that can offer young talent plus probable top 10 picks with the Knicks picks. (sorry they just aren't going to be world beaters with Raymond Felton and Amare)

    I've always said this needs to be Okafor and Paul for a collection of expiring contracts, young players, picks, and cash.

    Just wanted to point out the irony in this quote. First, the challenge of playing with Yao is making a good entry pass and actually getting the ball to him. Secondly, Yao is not typically a great target on the alley-oop. Try Chase Budinger instead.

    So, don't actually try that line with CP3 as he may be sorely disappointed with the reality. Now, there ARE plenty of other selling points... that's just not quite accurate...

    Nice read, however this goes down I hope we can kêep AB, Yao, Martin, Ariza and Scola. I'd offer: NY picks, Jordan Hill, Jared Jeffries, and Battier (they nêed big men).

    Although I realize thats unrealistic and that AB would proibably have to go, I really liked him too.

    It scares me that so many people are putting a lot of pieces around Yao Ming....

    I would be ok with this if this was his second year coming back from the surgery; but know one has any ideal of what or how Yao will be.

    Are articles like this bad in the long term?

    Will teams stop dealing with Houston at fear of getting swindled?

    Yes....I would like to see that too. I would also like to see $5,000,000.00 magically appear in my bank account.
