    I still think NO is better than Houston , if we dont get Nene. That hasnt been talked about much. NO did great.

    Dragic - Lowry
    Martin- Lee
    Odom - Bud
    Scola - PP/Pau
    Okafor- Pau/chuck

    If it's the Knicks pick it's likely garbage any ways.

    I think Nene is a good possibility though, we are at least better than Denver now, but it makes little sense that we fired Adelman now...

    This is just crazy. I knew it all along that this whole cp3 thing was just blowing loads of smoke. I had a feeling that HOU would somehow be involved with bynum or pau since the lockout was over. Just kept it to myself really...

    HATE THIS MOVE!!!!!!

    One of the worst trades in Rockets history.

    I'm officially off the Morey bandwagon

    We sent them the NY pick, which will be a really low first rounder.

    Fans expect us to have 25 people under contract.

    If Morey wants somebody in the second round, he can just buy a pick for a million dollars or so. That's what he did to snag Landry and Budinger. What's the big deal?

    I don't disagree re: Paul -- by himself, he's dangerous, but he's never been paired with any other real starpower.

    I think the Lakers are positioning themselves for Dwight Howard, using Bynum as bait. And Paul-Kobe-Howard would be a nasty troika.

    This free agent crop is not like last year's. I think we might be positioned to land Nene, but that doesn't really excite me. It's like a poor version of the Lakers - really good interior play (we're missing an Odom, though), but Lowry is not the game breaker on the perimeter that Kobe is.

    I think we might have the weakest perimeter game of any potential playoff team.

    OK..im SURE NENE told the rockets

    "if you give me as much money as the nuggets, ill sign with you"

    with this trade -- we can make a bigger offer to nene

    nene/gasol/lee/lowry

    we still need an all star on the perimeter to win a championship. BOY do i wish rudy gay got amnestied...HED BE PERFECT

    What is with this bizarre fascination here with Nene? The guy is extremely injury prone. He's made out of glass.

    That would be a terrible signing.

    Don't get this, not at all. I know that the Lakers have sort of gone as Gasol goes while the media continues to focus on Kobe as the god of the team. I think that makes Pau a little underrated. But not worth this much, and if you rely on Pau and Lowry for 100% of the offense what the hell do you get?

    If more moves are on tap okay, I'm not going to freak until I see the finished puzzle, but don't like it at this time.

    Dragic would be an epic disaster trying to lead a team. He's unbelievably overrated in this forum. No team would do anything with him as their lead guard.
