    I think the Laker's play is now for Howard. If they don't have Odom and Gasol to include in a Howard deal then what do they have to offer other than Bynum? I don't think that Bynum alone gets you Howard.

    Difference is Pau wanted to stay but was willing to man up.

    Martin wanted to leave and is now "stuck" in Houston.

    Apples to Oranges.

    Rockets need to be gifted a top three pick.

    Then maybe Demps should get some investors together and buy the team. You don't do what the GM wants to do. You do what the owner wants to do. It appears that Morey wants to tank but the owner says otherwise.

    Being speculation on both our parts, it's all just bananas.

    You can't read a man's heart and mind via twitter.

    Even reporters were mostly speculating the entire time ... Any chance the Odom trade was done so LA would have a first round pick to include in the Paul deal? ... Creating more cap space also to be able to absorb salary coming in?

    the worst thing about this for us is how by the start of the season, every good game Martin, Scola or Dragic has.. we'd be hearing the LOL I TOLD U SO WE DONT NEED GASOL

    Fair enough but without Chandler's defense they don't have much chance of repeating. Ultimately they may have killed their own chances for repeating and could end up with none of the big 3 actually being available next summer.

    Even with the Odom trade the Lakers are still way over the cap and have zero cap space.

    Who's first round pick is it? Dallas? If so, I can't imagine that that would make or break the deal. Picks in that range have routinely been available to be purchased every every year. Did Dallas have someone else's pick?

    True, but they weren't going to commit big $$ to Chandler anyway. Can't say I blame them. The Knicks are overpaying IMO.

    Yes and that's the problem. He doesn't have the lateral quickness that Chandler has which enables him to play a one man zone.

    Agreed. All of the big guys are going to be overpaid but in Dallas' situation if you have a realistic opportunity to win another title then you go for it. Those opportunities don't come along that often and Chandler gave them the best chance to repeat so I overpay.

    Teams often roll the dice but you don't trade 6th Man of the Year & key trade bait to Mavs for a trade exception unless you HAVE something.

    I'm telling you guys, something is fishy about this.

    I don't like this at all.
