Nice to see the Lakers give someone great away for nothing, oppose to the other way around.

Stupid, Stupid Move. I think Odom has taken a while but had finally reached his stride.
 
It's on par with Rush Limbaugh chanting 'We are the 99%" and meaning it.
 
Dallas just got Odom, who's been starter or 6th man on championship teams and he's healthy.

The league should nix this deal, too, since the defending champs just got an elite player for nothing (basically).

It does seem a little strange, but

The League doesn't own either team (and trying to sell it) and Odom isn't on par with Chris Paul.
 
If I was OKC I would take Westbrook over CP3. Paul has some serious health concerns and after watching Roy retire at age 27, I think I'd be wary of taking anyone who has gimpy knees.
 
Apparently CP3 has a "short list" knowing that NY and LAL are not possible.

and it included 26 other teams. You'll never guess what the 4th team is that isn't on his list...

The Clippers with CP3 are alright, but not a playoff lock by any stretch of the imagination.

I'd offer Batum/Wallace/Camby/Babbitt/picks for CP3/Okafor. HUGE salary dump for them and some productive talent that doesn't hurt the franchise's balance sheet.

CP3/LMA/Matthews/Okafor is a strong for for the short term.

I would rather take a gamble on D12 than on CP3. We don't need another gimpy guard.

At least one Clippers player is telling people he's headed to New Orleans, according to source who has spoken with him.
 
When the Clipps are contending again how many Laker 'fans' will convert?

I'd guess at least 1/4 of 'em will hop on the CP3/Griff bandwagon.
 
fuck, there go the cheap fucking seats for blazers/clipper games.
 
Kobe will slow down. He has 40145 minutes played under his belt. To put that into perspective, 18-year vet Mutombo played 36000 minutes. Kobe is an old 33.
 
Sounds like Gordon isn't in the deal.

PG: Chris Paul
SG: Eric Gordon
SF: Caron Butler
PF: Blake Griffin
C: DeAndre Jordan (?)

They are better than the Lakers THIS year if they stay healthy.

Supposedly, Gordon is going to NO as well, along with Kaman, Aminu, and Minny's unprotected first round pick.

That's a nice haul for NO, but it does make the Clips better. CP-Blake is gonna be a fantastic duo.

That's a much nicer haul for NO. They get Gordon AND that pick from Minnesota. That should be a decent pick when it's all said and done. I think Paul would have been worth ten times that three years ago, but now that's a pretty decent deal for him.
 
So to recap the difference b/w the two proposed trades:

In one, NOH gets older, gets 2 30-something PF's as their two best players, add $50M in long-term salary and get draft picks in the late 20's.

In the other, NOH gets one of the better young guards in the league, a serviceable C on an expiring contract, a young project and an unprotected lotto pick.

You wonder why the owners said "no" to the first one?

And to be honest; I doubt Minny does well this season. That pick should net them something nice. Personally, I would love the Clippers to eventually be better than the Lakers in the next 10 years. Hopefully it happens. Clipper fans are pretty loyal. Well shit they had to be with Sterling as their owner. Hahahaha
 
The league wants Gordon AND Bledsoe in the deal, IMO just getting Gordon, the MIN pick , Aminu and Kaman is plenty fair.....
 
I agree. But NOH has to address the PG spot somewhere after that trade, so if they can get Bledsoe in it...

:dunno:
 
I don't feel bad for either team. Both have such an entitlement complex. Especially the Lakers.

So...

I was just looking at that. Kobe has been in the league almost as long as Camby and Thomas.
