Nash is still there, no?

And Brown is highlight reel and he'll come cheap. I can't wait to watch him with Nash


Stern has pulled the plug on the 3 way deal.

Freudian slip I think.

No, Phoenix used to always be a threat but they haven't been for some time.

They were an Artest putback from taking L.A 7 games in the WCF 2 years ago. It hasn't been that long.

I would like to know who the bitching owners who allegedly stopped the Chris Paul trade from happening. It wasnt like the lakers got him dirt cheap, what would be the problem with the deal? Why didnt anyone complain about Miami Heat last offseason or the Knicks trading for Carmelo Anthony?

The trade was fair for all parties involved. What would the problem be.

it goes against everything that they fought for in this lockout

New Orleans got a lot of good players in this deal. Martin, Odom, Scola, Dragon AND a 1st rounder?

The owners bitching are the ones who would have lost out on Paul.

First couple of hours after the agreement is ratified and already they're starting shit again...

Stern

Stern

Whining owners whined to Stern.

I hope Paul leaves for nothing in the offseason.

I wonder if the players union is going to do anything about this. They just fought for months for the right for players to choose where they want to go and Stern is going to try and stop that? Is this collusion?

Odom, Martin, Scola and Houston's 1st round pick? Or nothing at the end of the season? :rofl: I honestly believe New Orleans came out pretty fucking good in his trade.

I doubt we've heard this end of this.

I want to know exactly what the Rockets were thinking when they agreed to give up all their players AND a first draft pick for the Lakers. Something about that seems fucked up to me. Gasol isn't worth that much.

Now Howard wants to go to the Nets.

2 new reports. Chris is weighing the thought of a lawsuit against the NBA. Dwight Howard will now apparently ask the Magic to trade him the.......wait for it....wait for it...........The Nets, Yes the soon to be Brooklyn Nets.

I wonder if Howard will change his mind now that Chris isn't going to the Lakers.

the only logical explanation i could think of is trying to free up cap space to make a run at named free agents. There have been rumblings about them going after Nene.

 

[STDiva]

Houston wanted Gasol, and wanted to get rid of Kevin Martin's contract. Still, they got fucked in this deal. Martin, Scola AND 1st? Who else plays for that team?? Courteny Lee, Chase Budinger and who else?? Bad trade for Houston.

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

In non-Laker news, it seems like the Raptors are finally going to get a new owner. Finally through with this MLSE bullshit.

Lol. First it looked like Chris Paul and Dwight Howard were going to LA. Now it looks like neither is.

For the record, the NBA rejecting the Paul deal was gutless. Though I'm not complaining.
