    Ya but if Paul is not traded, he will bolt next summer. Everyone, including potential owners, know it. I doubt they'd be more valuable with Paul now.

    And lose $40m in the process.

    His only hope is to either re-sign (ha!) or a trade. But he acted like a typical AAU brat and started demanding.

    Where is he going to go? What large market team will have enough cap space to afford him? I love what the NBA is doing. They are using Paul as an example. No player is going to dictate where he's going. Not even Howard, hopefully...

    uh. Portland, of course. :wink:

    But seriously, though, the Clips and Boston (if they decline some options) will have space this upcoming summer.

    The ironic thing is... We will be able to afford him this summer.

    They also lose their second best bench player in Shannon Brown.

    More Walton and Ebanks for the Lake Show.

    ^I swore I saw that Walton is retiring because of his back.

    I'm not sure I buy that theory though. Kobe's best season was at 27 years old, or his tenth season in the NBA.

    Age is much more important in predicting future production.

    It's part of the NBA season ticket on Directv.

    What was said exactly?

    Broussard said that they are talking to the Clipps again and something could get done as early as Tuesday.
