    Rockets should do this. Nene is worth it and is better than Marc Gasol

    Bringing in Marc would equal a happier Gasol.

    That's the confusing part. If the Commish really wants more youth and better picks and Houston isn't providing the additional youth then I don't know what could change. The Lakers don't have youth or picks. It may just be a $$ grab. Maybe the teams are just being stubborn/hopeful or trying to gather more proof for a lawsuit. Who knows.....

    Even though Hornets know Odom doesn't want to leave LA. Their preference is keeping him but sense is they'll trade him on if they have to

    Media aren't thinking straight in their frenzy over Stern. Knicks pick was included in original deal.

    doesn't affect the rockets.

    those guys will be old by the time we are contending for a championship.

    At least we have a starting C?

    We had neither starter nor backup the last few years...

    I am not sold on Nene, especially not at the price tag he will come with. I'd rather amnesty Thabeets get a stop gap and see what D-Mo becomes. At, least this gives Morey a star player and I believe a good starting base for something better than where we are now.

    He isn't worth it and he isn't better than Gasol. Gasol is a true center and younger.

    Marc Spears(Yahoo): Sounds like a trap to me. Nene has to be careful about going to New Jersey. Money is getting better but he could be used in getting Dwight Howard.

    Gasol will slide to center when Nene is out if the Rockets get both.

    If Emeka isn't in this trade, and with NO taking back so much salary, I'm having a hard time believing they aren't waiting on the David West S&T so that the Lakers will eat J.Oneal's salary.
