Chris Paul Trade Discussion

Houston got Gasol not Odom

I thought that was always the case. Was there some confusing about this?

makes me wonder if they are still working the Bynum to Orlando angle then too? I really like Bynum...thought he was going to be the future face of the franchise, but I'd take Howard in a heart beat, the guys a beast.

No hard cap = lockout failed.

Think of how exciting the NBA could be if there was parity.

Maybe here, but the ratings from last season suggest otherwise...

I am still a Bobcats fan and still support the team, but it's hard to support a team that you know has no realistic shot at ever winning a championship... I thought Jordan might be able to convince a guy like CP3 to come home and play for us, shame on me.

Think ima be sick...

Can't stand to see my favorite player in a f**k a** Laker jersey. This crap aint even fair. It's gonna be a Laker-Heat final. I'm about done with the NBA

ESPN CP3 trade latest: Trade with Lakers will NOT go through Friday and Chris Paul is expected in Hornets camp, according to sources

WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski

NBA owners have pushed commissioner David Stern to kill the deal sending Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers, sources tell Y! Sports.

Owners were irate in Board of Governors meeting with Stern, livid that the league-owned Hornets were allowed to make Paul deal, sources say.

ghey, so the small market owners get on board with a cba that doesn't have a salary cap then push for a trade that is completely legal under the cba that said small market owners agreed upon to be axed....weak....

To each their own... with a hard cap I would not be spending nearly as much $$$ on the NBA as I am now. As I said before, a star surrounded by blah mediocre players is not exciting to me.

Very true... last year me and dome of my friends watched and talked about the NBA like never before... Never would I have imagined ordering a NBA league pass a few years ago, but there were just some teams I had to keep up with and watch...

This year I am trying to see the bobcats, heat, lakers, NY and OKC play at the least live also

I am still a huge bobcats fan also, they are one of the teams I elect to follow or request on my league pass... That will be true this year also... I just watch them with different expectations, but you watch, hope they play good and improve... Then 1 year maybe we get a lottery pick and a young star... who knows.
