That is about as good as its going to get in Houston unless Les finally gives in and rebuilds, wouldn't mind being a perennial top 3-4 seed out West. A star is never going to come to Houston, I've come to accept that. We have all these assets that are supposed to get a star but so far we've had no luck. We could have Chris Paul right now if we wanted to but Morey instead went for Pau, which might mean that he believed Paul would never sign an extension here. Neither will Howard or anyone else. Why play with Kevin Martin, Luis Scola and role players when you can have Deron Williams or Dwayne Wade? Our only other option is Dalembert and he is seeking a big payday from us or else he'll just go to Dallas. I would be happy if we were never involved in this deal in the first place. We're 2-3 days into free agency and no clue what we're going to do.

No, we lost our starting center over this and a Gasol/Nene would be one of the best in the league even though they would be overpaying Nene. A strong frontcourt like that would be something to build a team around unlike Scola/Martin. The first two original deals were great for Houston (they kept all their young assets besides Goran Dragic and the Knicks' 2012 first round pick), its the third revised deal where Houston was going to end up giving too much and where Morey probably began to back down.

^So we can tank? Never gonna happen with Les as our owner.

I have no clue where this team goes from here. Overpay Dalembert? Amnesty Thabeet and then overpay for DeAndre Jordan and hope Clippers don't match? Chuck isn't even an option anymore since he signed with the Kings. So confused and frustrated.

Morey should just deal for Chris Paul directly, Stern probably only wanted so many assets from us because Paul was ending up in LA. Doubt many teams object if Houston were to land him.

Houston was giving up everything in this deal, glad Morey didn't cave in like Stern/Lakers were hoping. Anyways our offseason plans are officially [expletive]ed. Thanks Stern.

Rockets giving up more value for Pau than Lakers are for Chris Paul. Edit: I'm out.

The [expletive] is this shit?

Alright I'm about to head out for the night. If Patterson is traded you guys DO NOT want me around.

No they haven't been involved at all in the original two deals.

:lmao:

[expletive] YOU STERN.

[expletive]ing dammit.

daldridgetnt David Aldridge Source: revised CP3 deal has not been submitted yet to league, is "still being developed." Rockets still in deal, per multiple sources.

Should I be concerned with Pau not wanting play here? http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_/id/7338172/sources-chris-paul-los-angeles-lakers-trade-resubmitted

Already posted in the other thread and yeah this is old.

This can't be serious...

Speculation that Odom wasn't in deal began with this tweet: I guess Woj just forgot about him or something.

Nvm Odom is indeed in the package.

Sorry I thought it was confirmed but its not yet, there is speculation that he isn't in the package though.

Lamar Odom isn't in the Lakers' package. Wow.
