Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)
I have no problem with the deal, since the lakers got smaller, and now if bynum gets hurt their screwed download. The problem with the deal is that the NBA owns the hornets and they just had a lockout saying the league needed competitive balance and the first thing they do is trade CP3 to the lakers!!! are you kidding me?!?!Comment

Bad deal for LA.
Kobe and Paul are not a good fit; they both operate best with the ball in their hands. Bryant and Howard would have been great, but I don't like Paul on the Lakers.
Are the Lakers acquiring superstars just for the hell of it now?Comment

Pump the brakes on that. NO would still be formidable. A potential lineup of Dragic, Martin, Odom, Scola and Okafor can definitely get you in the playoffs. You still have Ariza coming off the bench. A couple more pieces and they'd be straight for at least 3 years. Not a real long-term solution, but solid for the time being.Comment

This is such bull****. I guess the plan is to contract the Hornets within the next few years?
Oh, and just LOL at this:
The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to surrender Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom in a trade for New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul, sources tell ESPN.com's Marc Stein.
Sources close to the process tell Stein that the Houston Rockets remain part of the talks and are trying to complete a deal that would send Gasol in Houston and the Rockets' Luis Scola, Kevin Martin and Goran Dragic to New Orleans along with Odom.
In Paul, the Lakers would be getting an All-Star and U.S. Olympic Team member who has averaged 37.1 minutes, 18.7 points and 9.9 assists per game in his six seasons.
Just hilarious. Thanks for wasting our time with that lockout, NBA.
EDIT: Also, I bet an infinite amount of fake internet money that Phil is back behind the bench before this season ends.Last edited by BlueNGold; 12-08-2011, 08:22 PM.Originally posted by bradtxmaleI like 6 inches. Its not too thin and not too thick. You get the support your body needs.

Kobe doesn't operate efficiently with the ball in his hands. Let work off the ball, crash through D12 screens, and have Chris Paul working the magic with the ball. Will let Kobe get free from those same screens, and have a guy who can actually get him the ball and/or score on his own play making. + it lets Kobe get into post position as opposed to having to try and iso through someone, or take a ridiculous turn around, or have to try and fight while handling the ball to get into the post.Follow me on Twitter@DrewGarrisonSBNComment

When a superstar not named Chris Paul or Dwight Howard is moved, I'll claim this CBA fight was for nothing.
Once again, the NBA gave up on helping the Magic and Hornets. They want Love, Rose and other younger superstars to stay in their towns.Too Old To Game Club
Urban Meyer is lol.Comment

I disagree about Kobe being a ball hog, although I'm not arguing he likes to share. But to your point this was why i just wanted Howard, because I didn't want another all star guard or ball handler that Kobe would have to share the ball with yet.
And Bynum being injury prone is why i hope we trade him for Dwight...don't trust him as the main big man.
That'd make it way worse. I still just don't get why all of these guys are talking about cities like Brooklyn/Toronto/San Francisco/OKC/Milwaukee as if they were these middle-of-nowhere places with populations under 500.
AT BEST we might see a team like OKC have one year where they put it all together and win a title, but it will be almost impossible for any team other than LAL/MIA/BOS/NYK to have a sustained run. We went from in the 90's/00's having teams like the Magic, Sonics, Nets, Rockets, and Jazz reach the Finals multiple times to now these superstar players acting as if they're too good for these cities...no idea what changed.
-Had better help (karl Malone and john stockton had each other)
-experienced more success early ( Hakeem was in the finals his second season and only missed the playoffs once b4 winning it all.)
I really think your sleeping on OKC, the BUlls, Boston, and the Grizzlies. Not winning multiple titles won't make them suck...it would make them like the 90s Jazz or Magic.
Besides the NBA finals have never been like the NFL playoffs it is usually the same 4-6 teams.Comment

They'd be a smaller, less athletic version of the Atlanta Hawks and what have they done? 1st and 2nd round exits every year with no improvement in sight.
That lineup scares nobody
Please for the love of god, can we not build up the Hornets for more than what they are LOL#RespectTheCultureComment
