    Goddamn, where is our GM when we need him? NOH and Orlando are rumored to be close on a deal that would send Chris Paul to Orlando. Orlando is looking for a team to take Okafor. Hey NOH, how about talking to a team that will take CP3 AND Okafor?? Let's expedite things, simplify it all by dealing with one team, rather than 2? Hey, GM, get in on this... Where you at??

    Oh, that's right. Fuck Paul Allen!

    I read it. It was an article in an Orlando rag, but I can't remember what it was.

    Sorry, Fams... With all that happened to day, I'm a bit heated (and e'r'body gettin' tipsy). Go to hoopshype. Orlando local media starting to pick this up. Hey, HCP, what time will you be home? I need to know what time I should leave by.

    Orlando doesn't have nearly enough to get Chris Paul without moving Howard. Which ain't gonna happen.

    It's bogus. It says they can do it if they can find a taker for Okafor, which is not going to happen if Paul is not attached.

    Our offers are far better.

    I'm sure our guys will continue to feed NOH offers for Paul and SA offers for Parker... with or without KP.

    Now you see we had a GM that couldn't get this done. I liked KP and all, but he couldn't get these deals done

    Larry Miller may not know shit about talent, but after running brand Jordan I hope to god he can negotiate a deal ... hopefully with Buchanan and Born at his side to help give input on value.

    What are you talking about? That deal was a huge win financially for the organization: 110 million over ten years.

    How huge is it when up to 50% of your fans can't watch the games? Eyeballs = $$$$ as well.
