    Lakers have clearly made decision to focus on trying to acquire Dwight Howard. Lining up rest of their assets to duel New Jersey for DH12

    The Lakers backed out of the deal when the "new price (was) too high," source says.

    I can only imagine how pissed Morey is right now.

    Won't be surprised if he murdered Gasol, because if he can't have him, no one can.

    Yep. Now with a disgruntled K-Mart. Lets try to package him in a deal elsewhere. Now the league knows what kind of "assets" we have.

    I feel bad for Morey and i hope Stern gets sued by paul.

    I wouldn't doubt it if we end up being the third team with ORL. They will want to rebuild, Bynum is still young but they would probably prefer young players and picks.. We might be able to get Gasol way cheaper this way then what we were paying.

    No one can call this a blessing in disguise. A blessing in disguise might be if the Hornets laughed at our offer 4 days ago and hung up. This...is Houston going out on a limb, then getting kicked in the balls and falling off the limb. It's a crappy situation for Morey, Les, and the Rockets players alike.

    I hated the alleged revised trade too, so I'm not upset we didn't do that. But damn you Stern.

    Rockets have to be fuming right now. Dream of Gasol/Nene front court likely dead.

    David Stern just completely ****ed the Rockets.

    We lose Hayes for nothing.

    Completely piss off Scola/Martin and Dragic.

    Prevents us from signing Nene.

    Complete and total bull****.

    It didn't happen for a reason.
    Hopefully Morey can get something better going before the season starts.

    I think they will cave and Chris Paul will be just thankful to go to any team now. Hell. I would.
