    Kevin Martin is a luh-ooooozer. There's a reason Sacramento dumped him.

    I wouldn't base anything on that loser of an organization.

    With the new rule that the arm-sweep is a non-shooting foul seriously affects Kevin Martin.

    ;)

    I know you guys hate the lakers but i thought it was a fair deal. Lakers were giving up a front court that won them two championships. While Paul is a star, I don't think he would be a better fit than Pau/Odom

    Sacramento had a fine replacement for Martin in Tyreke Evans. Evans filled in for Martin two seasons ago when Martin missed 60+ games and put up 20/5/6 on .458 shooting. Evans is 6'6, Martin is 6'7". There wasn't enough ball to go around.

    Tyreke Evans is a loser too. They're both volume scorers that do nothing to help a team win. These type of players are called "Shareefs" in honor of the paradigm case.

    Absolutely. Take away the "Lakers" and "Paul" and substitute anybody else and the only thing you're left with is David "Bonaparte" swinging his dick.

    I know everybody around here is going to love this because it cuts the Lakers off from getting what they want, but this is a BAAAAAD precedent being set.

    Re: Chris Paul is now a Laker . . . FML

    Where is Paul going to leave to? The Knicks are getting Chandler, the Lakers will be over the cap. Paul can sign the mini-MLE if he wants to go to one of those contenders. Or he can get a huge deal with a small market team that has cap room, maybe a team like NO.

    Thinking over this some more, I gotta give it up to Cuban though for helping block this trade, now with other contenders over the cap Dallas may be where Paul signs next summer. Did the Lakers get Cubanslapped?

    Boston will have cap space and could put together a team, the Clippers will have cap space and a future centerpiece in Griffin, Dallas will have cap space too.

    Who can't do what? Are you seriously suggesting that Hornets shouldn't be allowed to engage in normal personnel business because the league holds them in trust?

    LAL wasn't even his first choice. the fact is New Orleans just screwed themselves because now they will get nothing for him.
