    Sorry @Wizard Mentor , I had to change my post. I misread the results. Instead of 2-3, they're 3-2.

    What I like about this is I'm desperately trying to justify this to Blazer fans because I think it looks one-sided IN OKC'S FAVOR.

    Well, I WAIT for other people to do it for me, but sadly they seem reluctant.

    What Paul and Monte Williams have done to turn around the Suns who were in last place just a couple seasons ago is amazing! We just lost to the Nuggets in 6 games and the Suns about about to sweep them.

    Guess it shows even more the MASSIVE changes we need here in Portland.

    you have to credit James Jones as much as Monty or Paul

    Really hoping it sends a strong message to the Vulcans that we need significant change.

    Exactly. We were beaten by a team missing their starting backcourt and that team is getting absolutely thrashed. If NeO things this is just coaching and 'not the roster', and makes nothing but more periphery changes, he is a bigger idiot than many people think.

    And I understand their owner is kind of a jerk / nutcase.

    For the record @Rastapopoulos never had Paul's people call my people.

    Shame you didn't warn the Suns.

    After reading the entire thread again, I have nothing new to say; will just repost this:

    Bump. You can all tell me what a genius I was now.
    Yeh, basketball-wise it would have been a good move. Not so much financially. Surprising how many people on here opposed the trade for non-basketball and non-financial reasons.

    Did the Suns already have a superstar pointguard? Maybe I'm missing something.

    I am shocked, shocked, that you should impute such motives to me. ME, the most modest person in the history of the universe!

    True, but would a Dame/Paul pairing be worse than Dame/CJ?

    I was actually trying to imply that I am quite intelligent!

    Would Paul/CJ be better than Dame/Paul?
