CP3 "think about" Signing with Cats in '12

[Porn Shop Clerk]

Hopefully there will be a hard cap by then and that would be financially impossible.

Of course, if the Fakers were to cut/trade Kobe to bring in Howard, I would consider that to be poetic justice.

I don't wanna hate the Lakers, but its become painfully obvious they are the most souless fanbase in the history of fanbases.

The Fakers eh....your jealousy is showing through....

[Porn Shop Clerk]

Nah, not really. If there's any team I'm jealous of its Miami or Boston.

I don't pull for or identify with rapists.

You're jealous of a team whose 3 superstars have one collective championship....grats....

Everyone has their opinions, but a hard cap would be the worst thing for the NBA IMO.

I hate the lakers, but I love to hate them because they are a good team and carry that laker legacy with them. They are a great team.. I can name the starting 5 and the bench....

There's a reason TV ratings are extremly up this year... Great teams sell on TV. Most people do not want to watch one star surrounded by okay to mediocre talent... where the 4th and 5th starter is noone you need to know. That's why ratings where horrible back in early 2000's... no great teams... Spurs fundamental, and pistons... that was the best showcase they had in terms of teams.

People don't watch Chris paul and the hornets, or Williams and the jazz or nets. But put one of them with another star, and role players = ratings huge increase.

I am going to enjoy watching great teams in the NBA playoffs this year because I think this may be the last time I see team play on this level in the NBA. When you spread talent around even in the NBA you get mediocre team talent and mediocre play compared to what we have now.

And those three guys have been on teams where there was no true # 2 star on the team... and when one had a star, he got a ring.... No different than Kobe.

Kobe + Shaq in his prime = Rings

Kobe alone= No rings, pouting in the playoffs, not shooting in playoff games proving a point, dis respecting teammates, and demanding a trade..

Kobe + Gasol = More Rings

MJ + Pippen... and it goes on and on..... There is no player in recent memory who won a nba title with no other star on the team. Just facts.

As long as he doesn't go to New York or LA, I don't care where he goes. I'm kind of rooting for him to stay with the Hornets, though. Big fan of the "small market team", and I want him to pull a Reggie Miller. Wouldn't mind him coming home to NC, though. Would make our team much better

So Lebron's supporting casts were somehow good enough to have the best record in the regular season and get him deep in the playoffs but they weren't good enough to win a championship. Sounds like excuses to me, Kobe's supporting cast during the time he wasn't winning was way worse then Lebron's by the way. They had Smush fuging Parker and Luke Walton playing significant minutes for fugs sake smh.....At least Lebron had Mo Williams who could light it up and take over games and AV who was a good presence in the paint on both ends of the floor. Not to mention acquiring Jamisson last season....

We ALL Know that PLayoff basketball is different beast combared to Regular season basketball.... Hence why the Celtics could blow the regular season off last year, but come to within a quarter of beating the lakers in a great series.

True but it's still an excuse to say his supporting cast wasn't good enough when they were good enough to be the best team heading into the playoffs. That never happened with the Lakers after Shaq left....

Also not to mention you can not name any player who won an NBA title recently without another star on the team…. So your wanting LBJ to do what nobody in this era has????

Detroit really didn't have any stars....you might be able to argue Billups and Rip but were they really stars....

[C47]

For that matter was Shaq a star when the Heat won the title. I'm not so sure Dwayne Wade wasn't the only star on that team....

[HeatCheck]

Yah wish we coulda unloaded Jack instead of Wallace. :(

Then people would have hated the trade even more. There's not that much value in Jackson and we definitely wouldn't have got 2 first rounders for him.

But CP3 is the only star player I can see signing here.
