Rockets, Lakers, Hornets trade now dead

Most people don't want him but isn't vince carter a fa?if we are trying to win now, he could be a good fit. However, I hope we don't have to give up martin and lee

 

Gasol

Doesn't Anyone remember this ? One Year Ago (I know he faded a bt in the Playoffs - But - personally, I Love Gasol)

It's 23:36 in China now, 13 hours earlier than you guys.
still, it seems nothing new. I wish when I wake up tomorrow morning, the deal is ratified.
So good afternoon, you guys. Go to bed now.

 

seriously, that article was written 2 weeks into the season.

 

Max,

You are nailing it, how can you build anything with constant turnover? Sometimes a group of players deserve a chance to find their ceiling as a team.

That is not happening in Houston under Daryl Murnover.

What I meant is that if you look at it the way that guy did in his tweet, we would be clearing $ 62M by trading Martin and Scola, but what matters is how much we clear per year by trading them (about $ 20M this season).

 

3 years left on Pau

He's signed through 2013-14

 

So you would have preferred to stand pat? Is last year's roster a contender?

 

What was that last year?

 

The roster hasn't been a contender for years. I think that's the larger point here.

 

Odom, Scola, Patterson, Dragic, Williams, Hill, and NYC's pick to NOLA
Paul and Okafor to LA
Gasol to Houston, who then cuts Thabeet and signs Nene

PG: Lowry/Flynn
SG: Martin/Lee
SF: Budinger/Parsons
PF: Nene/Morris
C: Gasol/Motiejunas

 

I really hope we don't give up Patterson.

 

I dont like this deal for the Lakers.

Kobe and Paul will have to share the ball on the perimeter. Paul runs a great pick-and-roll, Kobe is great at iso. It's not like Kobe needs a great PG to create for him. They are both creators on the perimiter.

All they will have on the interior is Bynum, who is pretty darn good, but gets injured all the time.

 

I think come hell or high water, we are holding on to Patterson.

 

i understood you...i'm trying to figure out how much do the lakers clear per season by moving pau and odom.

 

this really makes the most sense.

 

I agree, but Pau gets us closer.

 

again..the lakers aren't making this deal for next year alone. they're adding a player they can build around for the next 7 years or so. paul will have no problem attracting players to play with him.

 

apparently it's a collection of parts.

 

Not sure if exactly accurate, but should be close:
