Hope we can get this done in time to get Nene or Dalembert
"I always keep a ball in the car. You never know."
-Hakeem Olajuwon
Nene is looking like he'll be in New Jersey if I recall what I read.
It’s Dalembert, pay high on Jordan or Gasol, or nothing.
My beingadick-butnotbeinganannoyingdick skills, they're impressive.
-TCWIR paraphrased
Agreed
We gotta go big on this one
"I always keep a ball in the car. You never know."
-Hakeem Olajuwon
I'd love to pay high on Jordan
I’d like him more than Nene or Dalembert honestly

Also please dont trade P2
He could be big for us
"I always keep a ball in the car. You never know."
-Hakeem Olajuwon
honestly
I think Patrick Patterson as a throw-in makes the deal happen, along with an LA pick.
Wafer . . . again. (Marv Albert, HOU v. CLE Feb 2009)
-one of the FEW at Toyota Center who has the Wafer jersey
I do too
I hope we can somehow get them to take Hill or TWill if we must give up someone younger, I believe Patterson can be better than both.
"I always keep a ball in the car. You never know."
-Hakeem Olajuwon
And if its between TWill and Marcus
I think TWill has to go
"I always keep a ball in the car. You never know."
-Hakeem Olajuwon
Agreed, I think Morey has a thing for his own draft picks
he traded Landry and Brooks but only for good deals and at a good time. Pat/Morris are his babies and he wants to try out T Will, Hill…eh

I don't think there would be any way to outbid the Grizzlies.

I can see them giving up a first rounder, and their second rounder
"I always keep a ball in the car. You never know."
-Hakeem Olajuwon
I have a feeling
this might be why Nene has yet to sign the big-time offer that New Jersey has made to him. Also, no word on Marc Gasol or Deandre Jordan. There has to be a way this trade is made to work; I imagine LA giving up a pick, and Houston or LA adding another young player to the deal has to satisfy the criteria for acceptability for David Stern.
Wafer . . . again. (Marv Albert, HOU v. CLE Feb 2009)
-one of the FEW at Toyota Center who has the Wafer jersey
We signed JT here, do you think any chance of including TWill in the trade?
"I always keep a ball in the car. You never know."
-Hakeem Olajuwon
I think the chance of including any guy on our roster other than Lowry
Is very high. It really comes down to who Demps thinks is a solid player that is young and has room to grow. I’m leaning towards Patterson.
Wafer . . . again. (Marv Albert, HOU v. CLE Feb 2009)
-one of the FEW at Toyota Center who has the Wafer jersey
I sure hope you are wrong
Oh please oh please oh please NO take Hill not Patterson if you must.
"I always keep a ball in the car. You never know."
-Hakeem Olajuwon
Well you have to keep in mind
that Patterson, at best, will be coming off the bench to back Gasol. I imagine DM wants to keep him because he thinks whoever we sign in FA now (like Nene), paired with Patterson and a pick (+ whoever else we have) will be enough to get ORL to trade Dwight Howard to Houston
Wafer . . . again. (Marv Albert, HOU v. CLE Feb 2009)
-one of the FEW at Toyota Center who has the Wafer jersey
I just really believe in Patterson for some reason
I think he could be a Josh Smith type of player for us with perhaps better rebounding, he is the same size, which helps.
"I always keep a ball in the car. You never know."
-Hakeem Olajuwon
Definitely, he was ridiculously impressive last season
probably the most underrated draft pick of that class

We couldn't trade Nene right away anyway
By the time we could, he is gonna be a Net.

Unless Nene is waiting to see what is going to happen with the CP3 trade
It is unlikely by now though so bring on Dalembert!
"I always keep a ball in the car. You never know."
-Hakeem Olajuwon
That's a transaction
that I imagine would be attempted closer to the trade deadline. I think ORL is going to let offers pour in over time, unlike New Orleans.
Wafer . . . again. (Marv Albert, HOU v. CLE Feb 2009)
-one of the FEW at Toyota Center who has the Wafer jersey
I think the league feels we gave up plenty
they were all pissed LA didn’t give up enough. I bet they are going to be the ones who are going to have to give up more.

With all three teams reportedly re-engaged I like the message it's sending.

There is so much backlash to the NBA I am pleasantly surprised by it
I think a new deal could get everything done.
"I always keep a ball in the car. You never know."

If they veto it again
you have to think everyone involved calls total bullshit. There’s no way they can come back with an even better offer and then get vetoed, and then the NBA repeats “basketball reasons” without looking like total fools.
If they do and Stern blows it up again
it should make for one hell of a legal action. I think you could prove due diligence.
You drink some nasty punch

The only way this trade still makes sense for us to do in my opinion is if Morey is able to sign another big man
By dumping Scola and Martins contract
plus use amnesty on Thabeet’s contract, and some creative financing. It can defiantly be done
Amnesty and if this trade goes through we can (or at least get close enough)
Then it’s up to him. Play with a top 3 point guard or form the twin towers with Gasol, which has been proven to work.

It's their ridiculous wishful thinking.
No way in hell. I thought it was too much yesterday. We can’t add a bigger piece to this deal without downgrading one of the others…
No way.
Only way that happens is if WE get CP3…….but…..we’re not…..so….back to mediocrity…aaaah! I hate it!
If the Knicks amnesty him
We would put in a bid and they would pay the rest, not sure if they are going to trade him or amnesty him though. At least I think thats right.

After sending an email to the nba, this is what I got back
Dear Daniel:
Thank you for writing to the National Basketball Association with your concerns about the proposed three-team trade between the New Orleans Hornets, Houston Rockets, and Los Angeles Lakers. NBA Commissioner David Stern released the following statement:
"Since the NBA purchased the New Orleans Hornets, final responsibility for significant management decisions lies with the Commissioner’s Office in consultation with team chairman Jac Sperling. All decisions are made on the basis of what is in the best interests of the Hornets. In the case of the trade proposal that was made to the Hornets for Chris Paul, we decided, free from the influence of other NBA owners, that the team was better served with Chris in a Hornets uniform than by the outcome of the terms of that trade."
We appreciate your interest in the NBA.
Sincerely,
NBA Fan Relations
Thanks for nothing NBA
I could’ve just read the Stern statement myself

reminds me of the letter I got from FOX monday about the Texans game
“Eat shit, fans, we’ll do what we want.”
Downright laughable
If Stern doesn’t let a deal through and stays by this “basketball reasons” crap, I’ll lose whatever shred of respect I have for him. At least man up and say that you don’t want to allow a super team to start up a day after you made a CBA that theoretically would stop that. The Hornets got a darn good deal, a deal that 3 veteran GM’s agreed to.

I'm hearing a possible Morey exit
a rumor that “if he doesn’t get this deal done, he may retire” via 610
I'd be pretty discouraged, too
You work for years to get yourself into a position to make a killer move, then the lockout happens, and then when that shit’s finally over, it looks like you have everything together (trade for Pau, amnesty Thabeet, sign Nene, rock the world), and then Stern and co. comes along and fucks you right in the ass.
Enough to make you think the league is actively trying to destroy your team.
The Rockets side of the trade should be done
It already could be disputed that the Rockets have too much going out in this deal. Maybe add another pick or two but I think no more players should go out from the Rockets side at least.
Follow me on twitter: @Super_Stud2100
Word is Union said by Monday or we sue.
Houston is doing this deal to make room for Nene. Do you think he’ll still be a FA by Monday?
Here's hoping he is
Cause that would mean he must want to come here
Follow me on twitter: @Super_Stud2100
Actually...he might be
He might want to come to Houston over the Nets and Denver, maybe he was just seriously considering the Nets because he thought Houston wasn’t an option.
by twinkilling0303 on Dec 9, 2011 4:15 PM CST up reply actions
They have to hope
I think if Nene really wants to come here for a huge deal over the Nets, he’d wait a couple of days to see how this resolves.

I think it's interesting because when this deal got killed it killed a lot of activity among front offices.
Teams and free agents are interested in the fallout to see just what the implications are. Their livelihoods and options hinge on how this gets resolved now that precedent has been set.
My beingadick-butnotbeinganannoyingdick skills, they're impressive.
-TCWIR paraphrased
Why wouldn't he?
His only worry is that the Nets trade for Dwight. That doesn’t seem likely to me.
If I were him I’d sit on my hands for a while. Wait it out. Can’t hurt (unless Howard gets traded and the market falls apart, but again….).
yes...
but at this point he’s like the real old guy from pawn stars

Dammit David, what do we have to do to get you unconstipated!
Id love it
And It needs to be a Big time team in the West, so Dallas or Spurs need to also jump on board just to piss off the league.
That's funny
Mark Cuban was one of the most against the original trade, but if it benefits his team, he’ll be just as vocal for the other side.
One of the reasons to love Mark Cuban as an owner, even though he’s being a hypocrite, he is passionate about what is best for his team.

too hard to get a third team involved
would be interesting, though. Lakers maybe go ahead and trade Bynum (they’re not going to get Howard, so maybe they’ll do it. Probs not though) to fourth team, fourth team sends player back to NOLA. Any suggestions? I can’t think of any.
That's actually a great plan
to go ahead and trade Bynum in the deal, but I don’t know if they would do it.

Thank you David Stern, you really did the Hornets a favor. Now this asset which was far to valuable to trade wants absolutely nothing to do with the Hornets.

I can't blame Martin or Odom for their reaction
Kevin I think was clicking with his Rockets teammates, and Lamar was truly at home with the Lakers. Both players feel betrayed with this trade, but the most tragic thing is now the chemistry of these teams are shot as they have to deal with the fallout of a failed trade.
I can’t imagine being fired and then told: “Oh hey never mind we thought we could get someone better than you but that fell through…welcome back pal!”
Trades are an unfortunate, but necessary part of the NBA, but this is just another reason why Stern’s meddling is so disastrous and uncalled for.

I’m not sure that he would be an upgrade over Dragic to the Hornets given the problems he had had. I’m betting we will lose a Rookie or Sophmore (Morris or P-Pat perhaps), I would be crazy sad if we lost P-Pat though.

I’m not super high on him, but I am curious to see what he can do. P-Pat would be horrible to me though, not only is he very talented, but he also just has such a good head on his shoulders, I feel like he fills the void left by Battier.
by Aging Dominican on Dec 9, 2011 5:30 PM CST up reply actions
My theory with Morris is the Rockets just drafted him
That did that for a reason. Lets see what he has first.
Follow me on twitter: @Super_Stud2100
Like Pat Patterson young?
Because I remember them talking about whether or not NO can take on all of these contracts.
If they want more youth that means we're most likely going to keep Scola or Martin, my view, Scola.
But what does this fanbase want? Everyone was so distraught to lose either of them because they’re clearly NBA superstars and now we may get to keep one at the cost of losing yet another 6’9" player when we just drafted another one? We may want Morris at the 3 but he’s a 4 bodied guy with experience at the 4. We have Motie overseas, Llull overseas, and Jordan Hill knocking around for 4/5 AND free agent cap space we’ll be getting. If anything the Lakers will be forced to deal some picks and youth like Caracter. If all goes well we might even be able to get our hands on Okafor or something, and hell, what about the idea of the Lakers getting Okafor in the deal and shackling up their long term financial flexibility?
I’d love for the Rockets to say f*ck signing a center, we’ll take Gasol and Okafor, give up another young PF, and be done with the offseason. Trot out a starting line up of:
Lowry/Flynn
Lee/Williams/Taylor
Bud/Williams/Taylor/Morris
Gasol/Hill/Morris/Scola
Okafor/Hill/Thabeet
How does that not get you a little excited in the pants?
My beingadick-butnotbeinganannoyingdick skills, they're impressive.
-TCWIR paraphrased
I am pissed at the thought
of losing youth over those two dudes. I’d rather have Martin in that roster then Scola, simply because of the money issue with redundancy. I have stated already I think the only way this trade goes down is if LA gets shanked more, not us. I would love Gasol and Okafor frontcourt. I know Okafors contract is a little beastly, but you gotta give to get. Package Scola in another trade for an SG or picks and take a flyer on R. Jefferson. Wouldn’t have to pay too much for him. Think about that lineup. I would rather dump Hill and Morris then PPat. I think he is more then likely going to be “that guy” for us. Either way, I like your moves.
"Listen here you beautiful bitch, I'm about to fuck you up with some truth" - Kenny Powers
Like you said man. Gotta give to get. Which means if you want it done, good bye Patterson.
If Scola gets left on the roster we still get the option to deal him in a later deal. To me, not a bad insurance piece if need be though.
My beingadick-butnotbeinganannoyingdick skills, they're impressive.
-TCWIR paraphrased
Make no mistake
I am not a homer or unrealistic. Just sucks that the previous trade didn’t go through. My biggest concern now is we get screwed over trying to improve our roster through no fault of the GM or owner, and actually nothing substantial materializes. That is the worse case scenario to me, other then getting herpes.
"Listen here you beautiful bitch, I'm about to fuck you up with some truth" - Kenny Powers
Also, I don't think the league is looking at us
to give up more. I think they will only be happy if the Lakers have to give up Bynum and Gasol, or something ridiculous like that.
"Listen here you beautiful bitch, I'm about to fuck you up with some truth" - Kenny Powers
I said it somewhere around here.
It’s most likely that the Lakers are being told to give up some more.
My beingadick-butnotbeinganannoyingdick skills, they're impressive.
-TCWIR paraphrased
I think if that ends up being the deal
you do it, but it’s the last option. He has to try everything in his power not to give up Morris and PP, unless he gets more in return. But ultimately, you do it.
by twinkilling0303 on Dec 9, 2011 5:50 PM CST up reply actions
it seems like a conflict of intrest with the league owning a team, making the schedule, assigning certain refs to certain games
setting up the lottery, approving or rejecting trades. seems like it wouldnt be that hard, with all that power, that they could shape things in subtile ways to benefit themselves.
"Lets go rip the mothafu#kin heart out these haters!"
Even if the deal gets done
David Stern gets to bask in the self satisfaction in “getting the best possible deal for the Hornets.” Trust me, if the trade happens, he will release some smug statement making himself out to be a hero.

One of the dumbest moves for a GM to do.
These teams don’t have to trade any of their players and their players are under longer term trades. Lowball all you want, doesn’t mean the guys will be moved. The only one butthurt in all this is Martin and it’s more likely he’s moved in any revised deal anyhow.

Kevin Martin had some unkind words for Daryl Morey today
“Yeah the guy took me out on the town to make up for this trade debacle.” The flustered guard reluctantly went along with Morey for the sake of peace, but the night did not end well. “He got me plastered, I think he may have even slipped me a rophy, I woke up next to a disease ridden Tranny. He’s a sick man who not only has shown his cards, but shown that he is playing with a stacked deck!”
Martin refuses to attend any Rockets practices and is demanding a trade immediately, to which commish David Stern has replied with a simple “No, deal with it.”

Me too
Scola is almost redundant with Patterson around. Martin still has a lot to give, but man it’s just risky keeping him here after this.
by Aging Dominican on Dec 9, 2011 5:50 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah
Out of Martin and Scola, I would be sadder to lose Scola, but that might mean we will lose P2 and im not sure how I feel about that, would Hill with TWill help?

I mean instead of Patterson, would TWill and Hill be attractive?

I think last year was damaging for our young players.
I’m well recorded of my disagreement with Rick Adelman over screwing over the young guys in PT and T-Will got boned, hard, and the move to the 5 caused a recreation of Hill’s rookie season. Hard to extract value out of guys who you may really believe can be great when they were never put in a position to excel.
If you’re the Rockets you’re almost forced to offer Patterson, especially considering the Hornets are losing David West. Fortunately, like I said below, I feel that Morris is a capable 4 to play in a 3 style that we want to convert anyhow.

I think Hill can be good
We say a lot during his first year with us. I think PPat might be a step above him thats why I would hate to see him go. I can see your point though about them losing west. I hate that we cant give up Scola and Martin.

-Hakeem Olajuwon
Hill could be good
But the question is, do other owners see him as having much potential anymore?
by Aging Dominican on Dec 9, 2011 5:51 PM CST up reply actions
Maybe someone but it not as likely the way things went last year
"I always keep a ball in the car. You never know."
-Hakeem Olajuwon
I don't know about Hill
A lot of us Rockets fans see something there, but I don’t know if other teams consider him to be anything other than a bust. I think to get this deal done, we will have to throw in a younger player which has a decent amount of value such as P-Pat. :(

I see something too
I just see more in PPat but I will root for whoever is left in a Rockets jersey.

seems like this is borderline illegal. their damaging the value of players therefor franchises aswell. how can he represent the best intrest of the league and the hornets?
whats good for the hornets is not necesariily good for the nba.

Possible posturing or a caveat for the Rockets to consider:
@Mike_Bresnahan: Gasol not talking. He has a strained right quadriceps and was sent for a medical test. That’s what Lakers are saying.

Yeah, his give-a-shit is broken now.
Great.

The whole situation reeks
By the time everything is said and done, I believe this whole ordeal is going to be a black mark in NBA history.
I'll bet that It's going to be talked about for years to come

Anytime you have every reporter and commentator in the sports world saying fuck you Stern as politely as possible

Breaking: Blazers determine center Greg Oden has suffered setback, and restructure his one-year deal for a lesser amount
Seems like a whole lot of suck going around for the Blazers as well

Funny how similar our two teams have been throughout the last few years.

At this point is even considered a setback anymore
I feel like an injury for Oden is as commonplace as morning coffee (I’d be more compassionate, but he’s a Buckeye)

I think the problem is
they don’t want the Lakers to have the $20 mill cap space after the deal. Maybe they hold onto Odom and add picks, and someone younger on their team….but I don’t know who
Is he worth it?

Told a scout that DeAndre Jordan’s deal could be close to $10 million a year. His response: “That’s crazy.”

Do you think David Stern and Bud Selig hang out...
And talk about how fun it is to torture Houston sports fans?
BS: I make them play home games in Milwaukee
DS: I tamper with their trades
BS: I EXTORTED THEM INTO CHANGING LEAGUES!
DS: Hey, that’s not a bad idea! Jane, get Les on the line.
