Yikes, Amare has 4 years and $82 million left on his contract. I can't see cash strapped NOH taking on that contract.

Oh shit really?! Still I'm rooting for NO to accept. I don't want to see Lakers get either Howard or Paul.

Does NO want Amare? If they are trying to find a buyer for the team, I don't think that would be the best move.

Could NO quickly trade Amare for pieces to rebuild? They might have better luck trading Amare because teams wont have to worry about him leaving after one season like they do with CP3.

Well considering the offer was Pau Gasol for Paul, Amare is a better deal. Talent for Talent, Amare is better and has a better contract too.

Um, no he doesn't:

Amare - 4 years and $82 million
Gasol - 3 years and $57 million

This assumes Amare exercises the player option at $23 million the final year of his current deal. He'd have to be an absolute fool not to.

@JCBizkit87 Lakers are still trying for D Howard (That is not over yet-Might just make the announcement with both at same time-Stay tuned)
 
YUCK I guess Paul is a Laker. That totally sucks cause I love Paul. Now I must despise him and wish the worst!

Former Portland big man Jeff Pendergraph is expected to sign a two-year, guaranteed deal in Indiana, according to a source.
 
Who the hell is this incarceratedbob? He has been money with the MLB. He broke Reyes to the Marlins and was one of the first in on Pujols/Angels...

Free agent forward Mike Dunleavy will sign a two year, $7.5 million deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, league source tells Y! Sports.

WTF? Horrible move by the Bucks IMO.

It's not as bad as 3 yrs, 24 mil for a washed up Caron Butler by Sterlin & Co.

How stupid can you get? You give up a lottery pick (that eventually turned out to be Kyrie Irving) to get rid of Davis' contract (when talk of there being an amnesty clause was all the buzz), and you sign on another albatross contract that you cannot get rid of.
 
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
Hornets cooling on idea of Boston needing involvement of 3rd team, considering package of Rajon Rondo, Jeff Green and picks for Chris Paul.
 
Only way L.A. improves is if they can somehow land Howard with Paul. Until then, they just got considerably weaker without any size down low. You can't count on Bynum since he is almost as injury prone as Oden.
 
Rondo > Gasol/Martin & Scola / Etc.

The Hornets would be stupid to not take in a PG like Rondo over the fodder they'd get from Houston.

I agree. I mean, they set themselves up fine to be maybe an 8th seed(Jack/martin/Ariza/Scola/Okafor), but there's no real future to that team, and no building blocks for a good future. A bunch of guys right in their prime that are not good enough to get you over.
 
Anybody know what pieces are moving to get Paul to the Lakers?

So if the Knicks use the amnesty on Billups, he wants over 25 teams to pass on him? Fuck it. If I am Portland I would snatch him up. Or can they?

LOL I just watched on ESPN.com that Phil Jackson hasn't retired. He will be coaching next season. Hmmm, which team will it be?
 
FUCK THE NBA!!!!!

So let me get this straight.

Billups is whining and will only go to the Heat

CP3 whined and will end up with the Lakers

Howard will probably end up where he wants as well


Seriously, this shit is not good for the league
