    If we flipped Scola to a team with cap space, then amnesty'd Thabeet, would we be able to offer Nene a max deal? (I realize he probably no longer has interest in coming here)

    I guess we can start Patterson at center now...hey, he's more proven than Thabeet, at least.

    But yes. I echo the statements of the rest of this board. **** you, David Stern.

    In other news, the Rockets are downed again as Nene signs the multi-year deal with Nets... :( that would really suck if that happened... I've lost hope that we'll get a superstar here named Dwight Howard, Deron Williams, Chris Paul of that stature... We'll just end up with Dalembert and that will be the best we'll do, and then at the trade deadline, we'll get Gerald Green and that will be it! :grin:

    Any exception created by dealing Odom isn't big enough to take in Turkoglu. I'm not seeing LA's endgame here, nor why Dallas would help.

    Yep. It's going to be a long 3-5 yrs.

    Unless we trade Martin and Scola for an all-star big....

    Yeah because this is Morey's fault and not Stern's...

    Morey must be exhausted and now he has to start from scratch. Hopefully he has a backup plan.

    So Mark Cuban complains like a little b*tch about the trade and then he snags up Lamar Odom?

    Is there any way to do a sign-n-trade for Nene'? Martin & couple of fillers should be enough. Thabeet would work, but he could be used to clear more space for someone like Dalembert.

    Nene is worth the money regardless of deal or not. But Gasol is probably the best chance we had a true star power and Stern blew it.

    I just hope that NO's just takes our offer with how much we threw at them in the trade and accepts it.

    Nene isn't worth it without Pau...

    Trade Scola and Martin for picks... Start Thabeet.

    There has never been a better time to tank. Morey gave it a great shot, but what can you do If the league turns down your trades?

    NBA source tell me the Lakers did not approach other teams with cap space or trade exceptions before making the deal sending Odom to Dallas.

    This doesn't sound right. Something fishy is going on?
