    Bucher tweeted Pau didn't want to come to Houson. My thoughts are good we didn't want you anyway.

    Honestly, if you were on the Lakers, would you want to come here?

    i did..... the trade made so much sense and if you can't look past martin and scola being role players/assets... then i can't help you on this one.

    Obviously, he wouldn't want to leave a championship core when they still believe they can make a run at the title THIS YEAR. Especially after their stinker against Dallas.

    I am pissed off that this deal was blocked.

    I'm sure if we would have signed Nene Houston would have been a lot more attractive

    Trading Heart for Soft would've not been good. I am glad the trade is not going through. Morey needs to get a C before the season starts.

    3 players and 2 draft picks makes sense for a superstar not an all star!

    NEWS FLASH: No one wants to play in Houston!!!

    You truly have to get them in he door so they can see it's not the dump it's perceived to be.

    If anyone can name more than 5 (don't think anyone can name 5) players that aren't currently on the Rockets roster, have once played on the roster, or wants to die here of old age that wants to play in Houston, I will give you a creamsicle. Even if you can name 5 they are probably garbage.

    I think I can name 2-3, maybe.

    And people thought he would improve this team.

    He most likely would have been disgruntled and half assing it.

    The trade made absolutely no sense. Building your team around a very soft over the hill center was where we were headed. Not only that but you'd be left with a HUGE whole at Sg & Sf. So basically we get older & slower and collectively less talented. TERRIBLE trade
