Right, but are they really star studded?

I would say no.

Idk, I guess I just don't see anyone even remotely considered a star past Blake, CP3.

If you're gonna call LAC star studded, I could call a whole bunch of other teams the same thing.

I don't know about that one. They have two bonifide all stars. Caron if healthy is a hell of a third option. He was the champs number 2 before being hurt. Then you have Billups as your backup PG. No other team in the league can say they have to multi-time all stars at PG. Then you still have Mo who some might argue if he should have been or not who was an all star just two years ago. They are weak at the two spot but not to many can say they have the star power the Clippers have. Now we just have to see if they can put it all together and win.

Blake aint a superstar yet, but come on guys he did more than jump over a car

He threw a ball into a basket over a tall, Russian dude harder than I've seen anyone throw in recent memory.

Does that count? (pause)

Not mad at all. Just stating facts.

Billups, Mo, Caron... ehhh. Nice veterans, but I don't consider them anywhere near stars at this point of their careers.

They have an exceptionally talented team, I like that better than "star studded" team.

I don't like just throwing star studded out there lightly, I guess is where I'm coming from.

Please don't put words in my mouth because that is not what I said nor implied at all.

So is playing out your contract and leaving not simple?

Simple Yes or No question.

Simple?

Whether it's simple or not is irrelevant. You're IMPLYING that Paul asking for a trade is wrong, when it's within his rights as a player. Players don't have a "no-voice" clause.

Oh I agree I wouldn't call them star studded either. But there isn't many teams with more talent than them.

I imagine that team is like 6-7 years younger than him, he's gotta be able to run with them . Plus, this could extend his career a couple years and actually give him better movement and flexibility on offense.

Believe it or not, Kendrick Perkins just turned 27 last month. His face and demeanor just made him seem like an older guy.

Didn't Ric Beucher say he would quit his job if Kobe ever played in a Lakers jersey again when he actually demanded a trade in his throw everybody under the bus tirade?

How can anyone even give clowns like this espn hack a time of day

You are completely missing the point of what he is saying. He is saying the simple way to go about it is to play out your deal and then leave. Nowhere did he say or IMPLY that Paul or anybody else for that matter shouldn't have asked for a trade or that they was wrong in doing so.

Most rookies average 22, 12, shoot over 50% and make the All Star Game their first year....

**** ain't special.

Yeah that's where that discussion was rooted in, I really don't think they should be characterized as star studded, but I did say they have exceptional talent.

Hopefully Blake's either been working on his short J and/or post game. He's pretty much the key to how far LAC goes.

Yeah it is because that's ALL I asked. Notice in my post(which you probably didn't but it's ok)that I didn't say it's the ONLY way to leave, I said it was simple. Never said he was wrong either nor did I say asking for a trade is wrong.

Anything else or you still wanna put words in my mouth and make comparisons that make no sense?

In college he hit my favorite player in the nuts.

Legal play, he got all ball.

I agree it isn't.

Doesn't make him a superstar just yet however.
