What? That Houston trade was for Odom, Scola, Martin, and three farts in a brown paper bag
That was for Paul. Rumors were that Houston was offering assets for Gordon in a S/T this past summer- to land that star they were looking for. Theoretically it was for Martin and draft picks (combo of Lamb, Jones, Montiejunas).
No one knows what the offer was or if they even were offering anything.

Exactly. Rumors. No one knows a goddamn thing.
ANYONE that is arguing that the Okafor/Ariza trade was anything but an amazing victory is fricking tard and not worth arguing with. Don't even bother.
Seriously, that is one of the great trades in Hornets history. Seriously, think about it: both of those piece of shite contracts would STILL be on the books for next year, as both are opting in.
Ariza would still be bricking 3s and living off of a past reputation as a defender, while Okafor would be barely dunking the ball and getting dominated. We would have a slightly better record, probably, as they are veterans, meaning we would have a worse pick and further stuck in mediocrity. We don't get Lopez, or Anderson.
If you're doing a rebuild...YOU frickING REBUILD. You dump contracts like crazy, including Jack, Ariza, Okafor, and you start on the process with young players. You get them experience and you take your lumps. You SAVE YOUR OWNER SOME MONEY...even if you have no intention of using the cap space now.
I can't even believe I'm having this conversation.

Thank you. I didn't realize some people didn't know what I meant. But I meant this past summer (after the draft), when Gordon was shopping for teams. Here is a link to one of the articles.. LINK /
It's all in the past now, but I wish they would have pulled the trigger on that trade. If it was offered, which it seems to have been..
