    Had great meeting on getting an NBA team back 2 New Jersey. Our state should have an NBA team & I look forward 2 working to make that happen >>>>

    I've said it for a while that if Seattle doesn't build a new arena they wont be getting another NBA team. With too many teams as it is, the talent level is watered down, other cities are already making plans to bring a team to their city.

    Well, if the Sonics don't come back within the next 10 years I think the Blazers should start marketing this team as a regional team like what the Seahawks do.

    Demps is a fool.

    He agreed to trade CP3 for three aging players on big deals and mediocre young players (if that).

    There was just an article about someone buying up a bunch of SoDo south of the stadiums to put in a basketball arena. I'll try to find the article.

    Does the NBA need a third team in NY/NJ? They already only support one.

    I've got to agree that these teams are just lowballing the Hornets. This is Chris fucking Paul! On one leg he got the highest PER in the first round of the playoffs. They think NO is desperate, and yes, NO is desperate, but NO also knows that teams like the Clippers AREN'T going to get Paul as a FA, so they better up their offers. Stern is actually negotiating like any GOOD GM should.

    Compared to what Denver and Utah got for their stars, it is not a bad haul.

    Kaman was an all-star not too long ago. Not that high on Bledsoe, but Aminu is a decent prospect. Very raw though. The pick should be high and the draft class is loaded.

    If NO insists on Gordon, I would only do the trade if they are taking crap contracts back and nothing else of value.

    Oh yeah? If CP3 is so good then why did we choose to trade down and get Martell Webster?

    :pimp:

    two things:

    The last things Chris Paul did was punch someone in the nuts during a game.
    New York Schoolboy PG Legend (tm) Sebastian Telfair was taken with the 14th pick 1 summer earlier.

    A team has claimed Chauncey Billups and it ISN'T the Nets.

    Who could it be?

    Kaman or Mo Williams will likely be amnestied.
