Dash Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Per Feigan. In addition to Rockets' top scorers Kevin Martin and Luis Scola, the Hornets wanted the Rockets to replace Goran Dragic in the deal with starting point guard Kyle Lowry, to add one of the team's top young prospects and to add a pick to the Knicks' first-round pick they had already offered, according to a person familiar with the talks. That was a non-starter for the Rockets, but the deal died soon after, anyway. The time lost, however, also cost the Rockets several moves planned based on either landing Pau Gasol or knowing they could not. Most obvious was the hope to sign Nene using the added cap space from the deal and the promise to play with the seven-foot center. And I'm guessing the top prospect from Houston would have been Patrick Patterson. Ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htownborn Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Stern and anyone who asked for this many assests can [expletive] themselves with that deal. So basically he wants the Rockets to trade half of our stating 5 and some of our best young talent plus draft picks not from the Lakers but from us for just a 30 year old Pau Gasol. Seriously what kind of cocaine has Stern and the rest of the league been snorting lately. So glad this deal didn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
