    No one thinks that.

    Instead of labeling everyone else as a homer, maybe you need to think of yourself as a hater?

    What does West do better than Aldridge?

    He appeals to non-homers. That's what he does better.

    This has nothing at all to do with Chris Paul, right?

    Yeah, the same skill Jamaal Magloire once showed. That's an awesome skill...scoring, rebounding, passing and defense are shallow areas of analysis.

    LaMarcus and West are pretty similar in talent. The big thing West has over LMA is simply his contract because it's pretty small compared to LMA's. If LMA were to play with a player the caliber of Chris Paul in terms of being able to create easy buckets for big men, LaMarcus would be an all-star as well.

    Not a whole lot, but he does face the basket and can attack off of the bounce. :dunno:

    And in the end 64% of Aldridge's attempts are jumpers while West is at 62%.

    They're basically the same player. I'd say they're equal.

    What part of "not a whole lot" do you not get?

    I wasn't trying to prove you wrong, I was adding to it.

    Calm yourself.

    I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that people are having a problem distinguishing LMA from David West.

    I guess, I don't think NOH, if the situations were reversed, would have a problem "headlining" a package to get Roy with West. It seems as if people in here wouldn't add LMA and Batum to get CP3. :dunno:

    I'm not going to get worked up if we can't close on Chris Paul and if we don't make a major move today. Zero great players have moved so far and I trust we are involved making deals that make sense. Adding two more good young players or some Euro talent will give us more depth and make a consolidation trade(3 for 1 or 4 for 1) easier to take in the near future.

    At least KP isn't swinging wildly and offering the house to try and save his job. I give the guy credit so far as he has been involved in moving for a lottery pick and Chris Paul. Not one other team has landed a all-star or great blockbuster trade. No team in our division has improved, so I won't panic. There is still time and I will still hope we land a all-star next to Roy. As far as we know, we offered a good deal for Chris Paul and maybe this trade talk will be revisited in the near future. Go KP! You won't be unemployed long if Paul makes a mistake anyway.
