Why are ya'll saying you feel bad for NOH? NOH=NBA, if Stern runs the franchise into the ground that's his prerogative... I think they will make moves that will insure the books in NO are cleared by the end of the year... I would not be surprised if Kaman ends up on this squad and Emeka & Trevor are bounced on the ave....

(...and the Hornets will get a top 3 pick in the lottery)

the clippers would absolutely have to surrender eric gordon to get this trade even considered...because how in the hell can you justify that trade not getting vetoed....aminu, bledsoe, kaman??? please...scola, martin, odom are 1000000x better than that

Agreed, especially if you don't know if CP3s gonna resign.

 

[ill steelo]

Howard deal has to be coming up for LA or that salary dump makes absolutely no sense.

They could've just thrown Odom into the deal though. I don't understand this move at all

The lakers are turning into the Isiah Thomas Knicks.

edit:

Nvm, Kaman is an expiring. I still ask for Gordon + Aminu + Kaman.

Bledsoe is out with a lateral meniscus tear.
I dont see the Clippers trading Gordon, + the Minnesota pick is more valuable than a guy going into RFA in a year 3-4 teams in better and more attractive markets for him have cap space. You would wind up giving Gordon the max almost no matter what he did this year. + Minnesota and NOLA both sucking monkey balls means 2 top 10 picks in a deep draft. + being able to find out if Bledsoe is a long term answer at PG.

NOLA is operating under the guise that young high upside talent is what they want.
You all are crazy to imply that Gordon being included in the deal is A. Better than that pick, B. Necessary to go along with that pick.

I feel the need to correct myself  Houston would have no shot at a Deron Williams deal without Kyle Lowry.
But that is a deal they need to explore post Dwight sweepstakes.
I honestly think that Paul is the only one of the 3 who goes to true free agency next year.

The LO trade is a loss looking at just the surface, but it improves their shot at Dwight if the only offer on the table is Lopez, and 2 first rounders.


Boston should step in. They have a good deal on the surface of things on the table.
Rondo Green + pick for Paul, and Ariza.

But 3 things
1. Orlando has no leverage with a Howard trade.
2. If NOLA were to get Rondo they would have to imo find a way to pair Scola and Martin with him.
3 NOLA has no leverage either.

EXACTLY. Stern shouldnt have been a big ++#$@ and let the owners bully him into vetoing the trade

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

this whole CP3 situation couldn't of happened to a better fanbase

 

[menacin methods]

Adrian Wojnarowski is saying Stern shot down 2 potential trades. Chris Paul should just play out the season and sign with one of the big market teams and say *@+# you to Stern.
And when he leaves the NBA will have a hard time selling the Hornets.

 

[8tothe24]

, David Stern has ruined the Lakers!  He needs to be fired on Monday!

 

[pmatic]

Green signing that one year deal effectively takes Boston out of the running. Unless New Orleans agrees to a Paul for Rondo/picks swap.

 

[buc em]

I think the Clippers would also have to do something with Mo Williams if they got CP3. He's not gonna want to come off the bench. He could start for a number of teams that need point guards. There's no way that the Clippers give up Gordon AND Jordan in the deal. Since Kaman is an expiring and Jordan is about to get a big contract I think the trade would be something like Gordon, Aminu and Kaman coming from the Clips.

The Minnesota pick has more value to NO than any asset the Hornets could possibly acquire.

Also, uhh, how were the Celtic's going to pull off that West deal? Would be funny if they got BOTH of them.

*looks at thread title*

raiders don't play in the NBA.

 

[knightngale]

Anybody notice how the NBA League Office approved the Odom for nothing trade in less than a second?

 

[gangsta207therevolution]

Did the Lakers offer to take Okafor? Was that ever realistic without trading Bynum?
I always thought the Owners tripped about money, and Stern was mad about the lack of young players which is a combination of no upside, and money.
We could see the Clippers take some of NOLA's long term money like Ariza or Okafor, and trade back MO Williams instead of a Bledsoe.

If the Clippers get Paul without giving up Minnesota's pick, and Gordon that's a ski mask deal.

Dallas isn't owned by the NBA.

Don't you think the Lakers keep him if it means improving their chances of getting Dwight? If they traded him now for cap space then Magic must have been cold on LO...

 

[upptempo8387]

The biggest winner in this whole ordeal is E! Network..You know they were doing the Birdman hand rub when they saw all the drama that Odom got involved in the last few days..They're about to get PAID for Khloe and Lamar Season 2

Not true at all. Clippers have said numerous times that they want to use the Minny pick if it means they can acquire a superstar, and that they would not trade it for someone who isn't (like, say, Iggy).

Clippers would much rather give up the pick than Gordon. Hornets would much rather have the pick than a guy who they'd be paying close to max dollars starting next season. Perfect match.

 

[SneakerProSr.]

Dear Lakers fans,

The NBA owners own the Hornets If they don't want you trade you CP3 for 3 expensive players who are at best the 3rd or 4 wheel on a championship team, tough @@@*.

David Stern would love nothing more than for you to continue to win.

Please stop whining like a bunch of females dogs.

Sincerely,

Every fan of every other NBA team.


PS You bastards are about to get Dwight Howard which is a better movedthan Chris Paul's bear trap wearing !+% anyways.
