The person I feel the worst for by far?

Monty Williams

Great guy and does not deserve any of this mess.

He will be fine. He is getting paid and when his contract is up he can always come back to Portland. Let him learn his trade and be ready to take over in a few years.
 
That's the advantage bigger markets have.

Smaller markets don't have that luxury, unless if you have a guy that only cares about playing ball. Such as Aldridge. He just wants to play ball, doesn't care about the big city lights.

Yeah I basically agree. But then its stupid for you to blame the Hornets for being in a position where Paul doesn't want to sign long term. You said "He doesnt want to stay because they suck." while I think he doesn't want to stay mostly because he thinks the city sucks.
 
The NBA is taking back the League from this era of superstar buddies who collude years before they're free-agents to eventually join up.

Viva La Stern!
 
And this is why we love nba more than survivor! This is a much better reality tv!
So true. I fucking love this. Egomaniac players arguing with rich owners. David Stern getting involved. D12 getting scared off of the Lakers. Tweets. E-mails. It's incredibly fascinating. It's like toddlers with billions of dollars not getting along in the sandbox.
 
I say that the NBA should approve the Paul-to-the-Lakers trade the second that Howard is traded to NJ.

Do you honestly care if they team up on the Nets? Would you complain if Derrick Rose and Blake Griffin demanded to be traded to the Bucks?
 
wait a minute, i thought dwight was only going to LA! WTF?

maybe cp3 to la had nothing to do with howard?.............

I think you're being intentionally obtuse. If Lopez+2 1sts is even remotely doable, you don't think Bynum and taking a bad contract would be? Especially since it's been reported that Buss has been trying to do that for about 3 days now?
 
not at all. But I don't think what happened was fair to anyone involved. The Hornets are the real losers here. That trade made LA worse this year.
And positioned them to get much better with subsequent deals, and likely to get Howard, so not necessarily. The NOH owners nixed the trade, not "the league" just like the NOH owner nixed a trade of Paul to the Blazers a while back. Once Howard is a Net, I'll feel much better about CP3 to LA, because I also don't think it improves them, but I don't doubt they'll be able to use the trade exceptions, draft picks and other assets to pull of another sweet heart deal. Seems like some of the owners are as sick of it as the fans. Also, someone said the Hornets would also have to lose West to make it work? If so, not such a great deal for NOH?

Dwight Howard met with NJ owner Mikhail Prokhorov & GM Billy King Thurs night in Miami, sources say. Orlando was unaware if meeting
 
Chris Broussard @Chris_Broussard
Meeting was violation of NBA tampering rules.
 
Alan Hahn @alanhahn
This Nets tampering story is devastating, if true.
 
The Nets should get hammered for that if true. That's worse than the Joe Smith fiasco in Minny and they got several draft picks taken away.
 
Russian mobsters give no fucks about this "tampering" you speak of.
 
To TOTALLY contradict this, IBN's incarceratedbob chimes in again:
