Chris Paul Thread!

[jonathanlambert33]

The Lakers should at least be taking back Okafor's contract imo.

From what I remember the Hornets had to include Okafor or Ariza to even make the deal work.

free chris paul

Stop crying.

it's horse shit that 3 GMs made a deal, and the NBA nixed it because stern thinks he knows more about basketball than these 3

 

[elcheato]

Considering Stern said the Hornets need to trade Paul for more youth and picks, he seemingly knows a lot more then Demps.

yea i tried the deal without Ariza or Okafor on ESPN's Trademachine and it failed.


Also, apparently this David West sign-and-trade could kill the CP3 trade talks.

Nah it's something weird, I think the CP trade has to take place before the DWest trade or something like that.

Not sure how trustworthy this guy is but he has a series of tweets:

Of course Stern signed off on the deal. I wouldn't have mentioned it being a "DONE DEAL". More youth goes to NO. #Lakers

MikedupRadiocom Mike Gabriel
Breaking: The 3 way deal is a done deal. Deal will be announced tomorrow morning. Too late for a press conference tonight. #Lakers

It Also looks like Jermaine Oneal will be a #Laker as soon as he gets released from the #Hornets.

MikedupRadiocom Mike Gabriel
The #Lakers have another asset coming with CP3, but I can't tell you who it is. But the deal is done.

Is that a real person?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I don't think it's legit.

 

[elcheato]

Broussard and Marc Stein are reporting they've submitted a new trade.

#NBA - Stein/Broussard: 3-team trade involving @cp3 was altered,
resubmitted for league approval

 

[elcheato]

Can't wait to see they've given up Devin Ebanks, Derek Character and a future 2nd round pick.

 

[DJT]

Nah it will be the Lakers get Lowry and Flynn and Ariza and Okafor as well...oh and the Hornets next 3 firsts.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

In restructured 3 way deal, Houston still sending Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, and 2012 picks to Hornets, sources say.

No Dragic?

There you go Mexi...#FREECHRISPAUL is gonna happen.

I heard Houston switched something up though....

Two firsts instead of a first and second maybe?

Possibly...I wonder why they are hiding the "changed deal" usually we know the terms of the offer....
