Re: Chris Paul is now a Laker . . . FML David Aldridge @daldridgetnt Two sources confirm reports that CP3 to Lakers three team deal has been put on ice, perhaps permanently. Source: "Chris is really upset.
Re: Chris Paul is now a Laker . . . FML I love this move by Stern. We just end the lockout and this awful trade shoved down the throat of fans?
Re: Chris Paul is now a Laker . . . FML The players just got a dose of their own medicine. They want to collude years before they're free-agents and it worked, but not anymore.
Re: Chris Paul is now a Laker . . . FML I don't know if I'm happy or frightened. Could this mean a deal with Orlando was in the works and stern didn't want the heat for it? I think I would rather only Paul and okafor head to la then Howard for just Bynum and artest.
Re: Chris Paul is now a Laker . . . FML The sad thing is, I thought LA had the bad end of that deal. Unless they had some plan to land Howard too with their remaining pieces, and everyone knew it, the owners just did something stupid. And Stern acquiescing on that shows weakness.

Re: Chris Paul is now a Laker . . . FML I think the owners knew of a Howard deal and flipped their lid. This might be bad news because Howard might still be a laker. Also a sad day for cp3. Basically no deal can be made until they find an owner. I guess you contenders that want Paul better shave some salary because you won't get him unless by free agency.

Re: Chris Paul is now a Laker . . . FML Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA Y! Sources: NBA Commissioner David Stern has killed the Lakers deal for Chris Paul. tinyurl.com/ce3so4r
Re: Chris Paul is now a Laker . . . FML That deal can't be finalized until tomorrow. They still have a chance to pull out. This decision may domino a lot of others.
Re: Chris Paul is now a Laker . . . FML Houston was on its way to creating a frontcourt of Gasol and Nene. LA's front court was Metta/Walton/Bynum.
Re: Chris Paul is now a Laker . . . FML It's kinda funny because it was a decent deal for each team, I thought? NO got a lot, and if Houston wanted to clear room for Nene,they did that as well, and would have had a Gasol, Nene front court.
Re: Chris Paul is now a Laker . . . FML Quality > quantity The Lakers were getting the best PG in the game.
Re: Chris Paul is now a Laker . . . FML I'm glad Cuban got in on this. If the Lakers got Paul and Dwight I would pretty much throw up my hands and say "fuck the NBA". I'm virtually at that point anyway, but this would be the straw that broke the camels back.
