I think that mythical NO team would be competitive. See what the 8 spot did last year? Not saying they would be as good as the Griz, but they would have SOME talent to compete with some of the better teams. Not like they are going to get another superstar back in return for Paul.

Don't think it would take that long especially if he files a preliminary injunction. If he goes the arbitration route through the CBA it could be even faster.Comment

Yes, if he files a PI. The minute there is a filing, the NBA may decide it doesn't want to fight that battle especially when the trade wasn't extremely lopsided.Comment

Seriously? Fighting for an eight seed isn't competitive. I think we need to establish what being a competitive sports team is around here. Finishing at .500 or around .490-.480 every year isn't competition, it's being fodder for good teams. If the goal in the NBA is winning championships, then being satisfied with what they got is a big time fail.Originally posted by J. ColeFool me one time that's shame on you.

Just the vibe I've gotten from him in the time I've watched his career. Flopping, whiny. Competitive but somewhat dirty. I remember there were a couple incidents, just can't recall them now. And with this whole setup recently with NY and now with Dwight and then acting like a spoiled brat when it doesn't happen, yeah I definitely am entitled to feel this way about him.
Then again, my favorite point guard has been with his team through thick and thin, poor management and good management, roster overhauls, and anything else you can think of and he's handled it with class, grace, and loyalty all the way through. Guess I've come to expect more out of the people I can root for.
I would be pissed off too If I, after years and years of failure, got to be happy with my job then only to have it be shot down...Comment

How were the Hornets gonna roll into the Western Conference playoffs like the Grizz? Cause that got that monster asset LO? Dude was just crying because he got traded but he was about to roll to New Orleans and ball the Hornets to the second round flanked by Louis Scola and Emeka? Cool story.Comment

I felt that way. All week I had been saying I'd take Dwight over Paul. But with Pau as that centerpiece, the Lakers were going to get Dwight with Bynum.
This veto wasn't a deal stopping CP3 from being a Laker. This was a deal that was stopping Dwight and CP3 joining together.
Guess it's the Lakers fault for having the assets to do this (and Bynum was not one of LA's "gifted" assets. He's homegrown.)

Cool, so now we're going to ignore the post presence the Grizz had last year right? We're going to ignore how they were a bad matchup for the Spurs right? We're going to ignore that Zach Randolph is on that not a superstar, but kinda near it level right?

All jokes aside, he will probably go the arbitration route and report sometime next week unless Stern makes a deal before that.Comment
