NBA Execs - Expect CP3 to be traded

Yep I talked about this a while back. The longer Shinn goes without selling the team, the higher chance Paul is traded. Shinn wants out. He doesn't want to pay the salary of a guy he no longer gives a rats ass about.

 

Give me the game of one Chris of Paul and letteth it raineth threes from the corners. There shall be-eth lobs to Greg of Oden near thine rim and kick outs to Lma for a three cubit shot. Yea and verily there shalt be sweet dishes under the rim to Brandon of Roy. So let it be written so let the trade be done!!!

 

For what? What package do they have? If CP3 is traded to other then Portland it better be due to a better offer and not some bullshit trade to a major media market. In this case Texas as that is the market share of SA when they are the last Texas team.

 

The sick thing to think about is while with Paul, Tyson Chandler, actually averaged nearly a dozen points a game, and he basically only has one offensive skill. Catch Alley-Oops. That makes me wonder what a good player could average with him.

 

Not only that, but the hoopsworld story itself is paradoxical. It says he was fired for not wanting to trade Paul, and for not getting along with him. What is the big deal about getting along with a player you supposedly should be trading?

 

I think the idea was that Bowers was unable to sell Paul on staying (poor relationship) but was also unwilling to trade him. In other words, you need to make one of the two happen...not both at the same time.

 

I'm more inclined to trust Ken Berger in this instance:

As for my theory that all signs point to imminent Chris Paulification:

You also need the player you are going to trade, to keep their mouth shut so you can get maximum value.

 

That's still good news. It suggests that now Paul will really want out.

 

ah that makes sense!

 

I agree with this. It is at least a good time to make a phone call. Same goes for when they hire their new GM.

 

Can I just say fuck this meme of Paul going to an East Coast team? What the fuck is this league just becoming the WWF or what? Seriously, if Paul goes to NY or Orlando its a god damned conspiracy to load up teams in Stern's favor. Boston, LA, Miami. If another god damn major media market team gets Paul for scraps I will go apeshit.

 

Exactamundo.

 

Did someone say Chris Paul?!

 

If you're Portland, you absolutely roll the dice on Paul and bet that the winning he'd experience here makes him stay.

 

Everyone not named Roy or Oden should be made available and in any combination including 3 way trades. Obviously you don't trade EVERYONE but those two, but you offer everyone but those two.

 

Paul may very well get traded but it won't be to Portland.


I am guessing either the Lakers or New York for pennies on the dollar.

Why keep a big name star in a bad media market? It makes no sense in Stern's NBA.

 

So you're acknowledging that Stern has absolute control over every aspect of the NBA?

Seriously if either of those things happens I will agree with you and stop watching the NBA until Stern dies or is ousted. Seriously fuck that WWF style NBA. Utter bullshit.

 

Why would evil only care about big markets Stern allow Seattle to lose a team to OKC? Why allow SA to win the lottery and grab a surefire stud like Duncan when Boston had the chance? Why allow 2 PNW franchises to get picks 1 and 2 in such a clear 2 player draft, when any number of big market teams would do, again, like Boston. Come on.
