Chris Paul Thread!

Dan Gilbert just doesn't give a fuck lol..

 

[elcheato]

and instead they all burned Jerseys in the street....

And Dan Gilbert is now the most loved figure in Cleveland sports.. I'm sorry, but for a city like this, you can't trade away LeBron and just give away your title chance. It sucks it didn't work out in the end, but that's how it is.

 

[elcheato]

Did he send the email in comic sans again?

I'd bet on it lol

Dear Dan Gilbert: You can't both create a valuable trade exception and pay less in luxury tax. Those are mutually opposing things

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Whatever. I'm not here to argue about trading LeBron.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Cool, most loved sports icon in Cleveland doesn't know wtf he's talking about.

more i think of it, the hornets looked better and better

Scola/KMart/Dragic/Odom and picks

for a player who isnt staying

3 role players, Odom, a guy who was very unhappy with the trade and a late first round pick from the Knicks. Awesome deal

 

[Mexi]

seriously, what the hell were they supposed to do?

make like the cavs and watch him leave and get nothing?

hornets fans are pissed

 

[The Young One]

Please stop it...Soon to be 29 year old K-Mart...31 year old LO..30 + year old Scola and a pick in the 20s from the knicks isn't a great deal.

I'd rather suck and have a shot at Anthony Davis this year or Shabazz Muhammad in 2013 then be stuck with that consistently 35-43 win squad.

 

[elcheato]

LeBron leaving directly resulted in the drafting of Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson. I'd take that package over what the Hornets got.

you're not the hornets trying to sell tickets before they contract you

 

[elcheato]

Trading CP3 is going to result in ticket sales?

 

[Mexi]

they're in trouble either way

go get some talent

I mean who doesn't wanna see Goran Dragic play? I'm ready to buy tickets right now..Stop trolling Mexi. It was a meh deal at best. IMHO if GS didn't offer Curry I would've took the boston deal.

 

[Mexi]

you guys act like the lakers gave up nothing

they gave up their size, 2 of their stars

it was a fair deal all around

 

[elcheato]

Also, Stern didn't have to listen to Gilbert.. He gave reasons as to why he was not pleased with the deal, that's all.. He wasn't the only one.

would this have been nixed if he went to the big market w's, clips or celtics?

such bull shit

 

[elcheato]

Those teams actually have valuable assets for bad teams, who need youth and replenishing.
