Would you trade Anthony Davis or Andre Drummond and a top pick in 2013 for Lamar Odom, Luis Scola and Kevin Martin?

Huh?

Huh?

He's saying would you rather get one of those dudes in the draft and then another good player in the next draft after that or have Scola, Odom, and Martin who are all on the older side.

Why are you pissed?

cause i want chris paul

and im telling you guys, they were probably going to flip scola and odom and maybe martin

 

[Mexi]

lmao what a bitch

Metta World Peace slowed down workouts after Stern spoke of a nuclear winter: "I'm not in the shape I want to be for training camp." Uh-oh.

 

[elcheato]

Don't know why you're pissed, the deal will happen..

 

[Mexi]

i hope you're right

 

[elcheato]

I hope I'm not, but hey, if the Hornets want to stay in 8th seed contention for ever, so be it.

 

[elcheato]

Also, here's a simple way to get the deal done.. Actually give the Hornets your best trade asset (Andrew Bynum), and take back a bad contract (Emeka Okafor/Trevor Ariza)..

Looking at it again, the Hornets really didn't get a bad deal...

Martin is a good scorer, Scola is a solid PF, Odom is a good all around talent and they could easily trade 2 of those guys for future picks/relief. The Rockets are going to suck, and their 2012 pick would be pretty good too...

 

[elcheato]

I'm pretty sure the 2012 pick was the one they got from the Knicks.

 

[Yankees2772]

I just saw it as 2012 Houston 1st.

bad day for the blazers....

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden has suffered another setback and may miss the entire 2011-12 season, according to a report on Portland-based KGW.com.

"Following Greg's most recent physical examination and evaluation, we've determined that he has suffered a setback," Trail Blazers President Larry Miller told KGW.com. "We're hopeful, but less confident that he will return to the court this season. We've stood by Greg from the day he was drafted and we continue to do so now."

The Blazers and Oden agreed to a one-year contract Friday, but not the $8.9 million qualifying offer that he had agreed upon earlier. Miller told KGW both sides agreed to negotiate a new deal, independent of the qualifying offer.

"I'm obviously disappointed with the setback, but I'm as determined as ever to return to the court," Oden said in a statement. "I appreciate the support of the Trail Blazers and our fans and that they continue to stand behind me."

Knicks are in "serious discussions" with Mike Bibby.... ugh.

This isn't 2003.

Let me counter.

If Dell Demps could have gotten that Minny pick + other young guys like Bledsoe, Aminu, + from LA what do you think he would have done? Trade with the Clips or trade with the Lakers/Rockets?

 

[MapleLeaf]

Vince Carter to Mavs
why

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

No Vinsanity in Chicago...

 

[jonathanlambert33]

[elcheato]
