Adding Bledsoe is too steep???? lol
In addition to everything else they're offering, yes.

You're missing the point. I'm saying that there comes a point where you realize that no one else is going to give you a better offer and you compromise by giving a little back. Be it not taking a player, giving one back, top 10 protecting the pick, etc.

If I had Paul i'd keep him for a while...look at the offers you get, no need to make a rash decision.

Okay, hold on to him. The more you wait the less likely teams will want to trade with you. Just like the Lakers and Clippers pulled out.

In fact show us a better deal, from any of the other teams that are rumored to be interested, that is within the team's reason. For example, you can use Rondo from the Celtics because he's been involved in rumors but you can't include Bynum from the Lakers because they made it clear they weren't going to use him in this trade.

I can't wait to hear how the media spins Dan Gilbert into this, this time.

Thats so not true. lol

People want Paul??? Right???? Yes, they do. People will continue to make offers until one clicks...or sue the league to get one accepted.

if they see big time offers getting declined they wont be offering. its going to be so hard to top this offer. it offers youth for the future and money for the future while staying decent as a team.

Even though I think he's as credible as a 4 year old, Broussard made a good point on ESPN.. The only reason that makes sense would be the Hornets (Stern) won't accept a deal for Paul because they want to contract the team once he leaves via free agency.

Obviously people want Paul. People want every star player. Doesn't mean they're going to give up their entire team for him.

We'll keep waiting. And if they get better value for Paul, I'll admit I'm wrong. Gonna be hard to top that offer though

David Stern is like the dumb GMs in our FBB league. Just because a team has other assets doesn't mean they need to give everything up. Fair value is fair value, doesn't matter what the team has left over or can afford to send.

Clippers won't do Gordon and Minnesota's first; have told NO to pick one or the other. Hornets say they need both for their franchise player
