This is pissing me off. I hate the fucking NBA and what it has now become. As a Hornets fan this is like I am being stabbed in the chest repeatedly by a rusty machete. I am a Hornets fan 1st and and CP3 fan second. CP3 is my favorite player, but if he leaves I am pretty much gonna not support the NBA ever again. The Hornets front office and injuries is the reason the Hornets are in such a hole. After next season they get so many contracts off the books that they will be able to afford to pay someone in free agency, but this is really fucking me up. :crying:

Just be happy the Saints won the SuperBowl this year. What has Cleveland won lately?

yes he does

I don't give a fuck about Cleveland. Only reason the Saints finally won something because Rita Benson(The old farts daughter) knew you couldn't be a cheap ass like her father and went out and got the pieces together. George Shinn is the same way. He needs to finalize that sale of the team so someone willing to dish out cash is in charge.

:jonesy:



:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Considering they won 46 last year with a far shallower and inferior roster as they are headed into this year with, I'd say 50 games is more than attainable.

Jennings
Salmons
Delfino/Maggette
Gooden
Boget

with CDR, Ilyasova, Mbah a Moute, Sanders off the bench.

>>>>>>>>>>>

Jennings
Salmons
Delfino
Mbah a Moute
Kurt Thomas

with Stack, Ridnour, Bell, Gadzuric of the bench.


Plus factor in that LeBron is no longer in Cleveland and the Central is wide open now.

 

[Primetime]

The only problem I see happening with the Bucks this year, beyond injuries of course, will be players fighting over the ball too much. Salmons and Jennings will have to shoot less than they did last year to keep Maggette happy. Once Maggette touches the ball, the rest of the team is lucky to touch it that possession.

Agreed. Alright, back on topic.

 

[KNUBB]

If he gets traded go ahead and put me on suicide watch

 

[Point Blank]

Make something happen Mark Cuban!

 

[Juggernaut]

I actually like that trade a lot for Orlando and the other teams. Horents would probably get 2 1sts form the Magic though.

I feel your pain(my team's owner is a joke too), but you can't blame David Stern and the league for inept ownership.

 

[EmpireWF]

For the Knicks to acquire Paul, they'd almost definitely have to take Okafor as well.

For the cap to work out in that situation, they'd have to give up a slew of guys (Curry, Azubukie {sp?}, Chandler, Galinari, Douglas) according to RealGM's checker.

Knicks would then need a SG unless they wouldn't mind starting Bill Walker.

Here we go again, Empire. For two years, I kept telling younger Knick fans there was no chance in hell LeBron was coming to this shit franchise. Now these knuckleheads are getting their hopes up for a NYK 'triumverate'.

Yes I can blame the whole league. CP was just fine until Lebron and those other guys teamed up. Now that it is a viable solution to team up and make an all star team every player wants to do it to dramatically increase their chances at a ring.

EDIT: Every player except Kevin Durant wants to team up with other superstars. Durant has been dogging those guys since Bosh and Wade announced. Once Lebron followed he has been goin in on them

 

[Primetime]

Here is the thing I don't get. Why is CP3 really taking no heat for this, yet LeBron gets as much shit as he does? I realize LeBron is the better player and has more expectations, but the man honored his contract. Chris Paul demands to go to a team to make them a "superteam", is dishonoring his contract, and he gets hardly any criticism.

I have to respect the guy that honors his contract and moves to another team as so many players have done and always will do, rather than the guy that dishonors his contract to get to a contending team. This really doesn't change my opinion of Chris Paul as a player though.

 

[FedEx227]

People don't think Chris Paul is on the path to being one of the greatest players in NBA history.

That's cause he has already solidified himself as one of the best PG's the NBA has seen since maybe John Stockton. That is no knock on Steve Nash, but CP3 before his injury(which should be heavily looked at) was on pace with Lebron as a triple-double machine.

 

[Primetime]

Going to Miami and joining superstars isn't the point though. Cleveland fans are simply pissed because he left, so why don't NO fans do the same thing? Unless of course they're waiting until he is actually traded.
