Chris Paul Thread!

[Yankees2772]

Made up rumor:

Nash back to the Mavs?

Kidd and Rudy Fernandez?

 

[elcheato]

I think the Suns could get more for Nash

CP3 is basically down to the Clippers and Celtics, because the Hornets want Curry, but GS WILL NOT trade him

If EG is offered, CP3 will join Blake.

If Gordon is off the table, Boston may up getting him. It may be harder now, because Jeff Green is ineligible to be traded until March 1, because he re-signed


Rondo, Garnett, Bradley, Johnson, Moore, O'Neal, Pavlovic, 2012 LAC 1st, 2013 BOS 1st for Paul, West, and Okafor

That is Bostons most likely package

 

[bosoxlover12]

The Celts deal is also a basketball move because KG is a very well known player in the league (with a very large expiring contract)

Also, interesting to know, Rondo is 3rd in the league in jersey sales

I don't think Boston trades Garnett. Paul has basically given every indication he won't extend with Boston, so this is they're last oorah to try and get a Championship while they still have Pierce & KG.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

btw - ESPN's Trade Machine is killing me. doesn't have it set up to include FAs who could be Sign and Trade. Ugh, smh.

KG said the same thing, he wont re-sign in Boston. Then we got Ray Allen, and he did re-sign


We got CP3's buddy David West to come to Boston, and CP3 hasnt said he won't re-sign in Boston since we got West (or agreed in principle for a S&T)



And I'd much rather have Emeka Okafor playing center than KG. Dudes washed up.

Get it done Pat lol

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Again, NBA Trade Machine isn't really updated well. Curry signed about $1M.

That would be funny shit, though, lmao.

Heard the Lakers didn't back out, the league rejected the deal AGAIN. Then the Lakers basically said "fuck this."

the lakers backed out after the nba rejected the deal again. the only difference was the lakers getting marcus banks and giving up another first. wow

Didn't see that, but I wouldn't doubt it because the Lakers didn't do shit to make the deal better

With Chris Paul three-team trade talks between the Hornets, Lakers and Rockets falling apart, Dell Demps will need to return to the negotiating table with other teams.

But the way the NBA killed Thursday's agreed upon trade will make it difficult for teams to trust the process.

"My initial reaction is, 'Who wants to go through that headache with the NBA playing God?'" said a front office executive of the situation.

The front office and coaching staff of the Hornets is understandably devastated over what has transpired since Thursday, culminating in their deal with the Lakers falling apart.

The Hornets delivered a reconstructed deal on Saturday, but the NBA still refused to approve it.

Los Angeles was going to receive Paul, along with Jason Smith and Marcus Banks, who would arrive via sign-and-trade.

Houston agreed to send Kevin Martin, Luis Scola and a 2012 first round pick to the Hornets.

The Lakers would send Lamar Odom to the Hornets, Pau Gasol to the Rockets, and the Lakers were pursuing a first round pick to include for the Hornets.

The NBA was clearly dictating terms of the possible trade of Paul to the Lakers.

Clarification: noted LAC would need CP3 long-term to include Minn 1st. Long term is opting in for the 12-13 season. which i'm told he will.

David West signed with the Pacers. Cp3 is definitely not going to the Celtics. Why would he want to compete for a championship for a year and then play for a mediocre team during the rest of his tenure? It doesnt make sense for him to do that.

 

[Mexi]

stern vetoed because the lakers were going to get dwight after

FUCK

 

[jonathanlambert33]

good, I might actually forgive Stern then.

 

[Mexi]

whatever

but i hope this whole mess ends the "stern favors the lakers!!!" nonsense i have to constantly hear

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I think the only thing that this proves is that Stern doesn't favor the "super team" thing like so many people thinks he does. It's terrible for the league.

 

[Mexi]

if the clippers match for deandre, they better go get Chris Paul
time for them to change the culture. now's the time

mavs are old
lakers are old

memphis is good and so is okc, but throw CP with Blake and the Clips could be on their level
