It's frustrating how Otis runs things. It seems like there is nothing going on from our side. It could just be that Otis runs a tight ship and keeps everything under the radar, but it makes it hard to be a Magic fan right now.

SpearsNBAYahoo Marc J. Spears
Names talked about in CP3 3-way are: CP to Lakers, Gasol to HOU & Kevin Martin & Luis Scola and possible picks to Hornets, source tells Y!


OMG! really!?

Freakin let's get on the ball... Houston is getting pillaged in that deal

How stupid are they to help LA... NOH gets an all-star in Martin back, so I'm sure they are happy

sickening

Almost as bad as the Kwame for Pau deal :nonono:
Part of me isn't surprised that the Lakers get their way.

Ok now i'm starting to doubt the validity of that rumor because if Houston trades away Scola and Martin then why get Gasol????? A Gasol/Scola Frontcourt is pretty good and with K-Mart there would provide Perimeter scoring but if they trade Both away plus young talent and picks then what would be the point? You would really be giving LA a Christmas present at that point...Totally Lopsided

That would be a dumb, dumb, dumb deal for Houston. Seriously, that doesn't help them at all. It might actually make them worse. Scola is almost as good as Gasol for them, and Martin is their top scorer. It's not even very good for NOLA.

Well, we are pretty quiet about trades, maybe Otis has something in his hands.

He never talks about trades before it happens, but i dont see we getting CP3, maybe Ellis or a 2nd tier wing player.

If LA gets CP3, you can bet the house that Dwight will go there (we wouldn't trade him there, out of pride and anger), but he will walk and sign there... can't believe Houston is even helping them

I'm praying that some other team steps in and intervenes with NOH and HOU

I can't even understand why the Rockets would toss Scola and Martin for a broken Pau Gasol on a massive contract. I don't believe this rumor. Somethings gotta give.
