League sources say the Houston has been trying to put together a three-team deal with the Lakers and New Orleans in which Paul goes to LA.

Lakers pushing hard to make Pau/CP3 deal. If they can close, would offer Bynum for Dwight and whatever bad contract ORL wants to dump.

Hmmm. Wondering what package will Houston offer.

What does houston have that NO would want?

So many teams are trying to trade for paul right now, all of these threads just become moot.

i read today the Celtics have 8 different proposals going on with NO right now for CP3. 8!

WTF is wrong with Houston?

Why help Paul get to LA?

That would be like Chicago helping Howard get to Miami so we can land J-Rich.

dammit, wtf why LA giving up the only piece Orl would consider for Howard? I know thats already a pipe but dammit, its not like Paul doesn't come with baggage/injury concerns.

I don't see Hou getting Bynum, I see them getting Okafor for a few more young assets the Hornets want

Not really, Houston aren't contenders. Probably interested in the aspects of building around Bynum.

I would flip if the Rockets are giving up young assets for Pau though and the Lakers still have Bynum to trade for Howard

Are my Lakes' FO confident about Bynum's health now? Or is this a larger Pau-CP3, Bynum-Dawight move?

What does Houston have that the Hornets could possibly want? Houston is just a pile of mediocrity. Mediocre young pieces (Jordan Hill), mediocre veterans (like Martin and Scola), mediocre record.

:lol: If a trade like this goes through, Angry realgmers have no one to be mad at other than the Rockets. Instead ofcourse we'll get conspiracy theories and trashing of the Laker organization/fans.
