    @Chris_Broussard: CP looking to join Clippers since NYK and Lakers look unlikely. Clips and Hornets talking trade.

    @Chris_Broussard: Hornets asking for E Gordon, Kaman, Bledsoe, Aminu and 2 1st round picks, sources say

    @Chris_Broussard: LAC willing to add Gordon 2 deal if Paul commits 2 "opt-in" to the final year of his deal, which would assure LAC of having him next 2 yrs

    ^^^ Give Martin and Dragic to any of the team and Rockets get back Okafor or Kaman and Aminu

    Rockets new lineup
    pg: Lowry, Flynn, Lin
    Sg: Lee, T-will, Bud
    SF: Aminu, Bud, Morris
    PF: Scola, Patterson, Morris
    C: Okafor or Kaman, Hill, Thabeet

    Our team is so versatile

    IF we want Okafur I am pretty sure the Hornets would like to give him to us. To them he is a bad contract for a rebuilding team. I am pretty sure we could get him for next to nothing.

    I'm fine with getting Okafor, but no reason to get rid of Martin to do so when we can just sign Dalembert.

    Okafor is no better than Dally. Like others said, might as well sign Dalembert and keep KMart but then again that is at best a first round playoff team going nowhere.

    Morey doesn't want Okafor. Nobody wants Okafor. Why do you think no one has tried trading for him and his toxic contract?

    If he doesn't get traded, they're going to have to amnesty Okafor to sell the team, right?

    Those tweets don't mention or hint at the Rockets. Why don't we just get involved in any Dwight trade as well.
