SMH Having to hear Shaqs nonsense ON TOP of Barkleys is one thing I'm NOT looking forward to this season...

Still doesn't mean you don't take the chance. I'd rather have the chance of keeping him then not have the chance of getting him at all.

It still does not make sense, to me, though.

You take your chances with your young man that you just drafted and build the team that way then trying to go Knicks.

You better hope it works out or the franchise will be set back several years for you guys.

Yup and then Chris Paul somehow winds up playing in a Knicks Uniform. Don't understand what about it doesn't make any sense but I'm not gonna bother beating that dead horse again lol

But who are people going to flock to see:

CP3, Melo, Amar'e playing in the Garden fresh off a playoff year or the Derrick Favors led Brooklyn Nets coming off of 4 straight years of suckiness in Hell aka New Jersey? Not a hard choice if you ask me lol.

And if he doesn't come back, we still have cap room in a BETTER FA Class and we still have our draft picks in a DEEPER Draft(which we'd still have if/when we don't get Duhwight so we can still build our team while being competitive). I'm not saying we're in a win/win situation because that'd be foolish to even consider because you don't get guys like Deron that easy or that often. But it definitely won't be the sky is falling all over again.

But again, there hasn't been not ONE indication from him that he wants to be anywhere else whereas Duhwight and CP3 have openly said they want to play somewhere else.

@paulcoro Paul Coro Lopez said he has regained athleticism but said his health was no excuse for his play. He & twin Brook paid to work w/Olajuwon this summer.

So we can expect Brook Lopez to 'Dream Shake' someone this year?

[a_maz_ing]

So the Lopez's are latest Hakeem pupils...wonder who is next? I don't think it would hurt KD to go. And i think Lebron already went but he should definitely go again.

SMH at Shaq.

This whole CP3 situation is partially why I can't get into the NBA...I hate how all these guys dictate where they will be traded to or will go and I hate that because of this, the same teams will be good each year and the same teams will be bad each year. What's wrong with playing in Orlando/Toronto/Brooklyn/Denver/San Francisco? Is the 6 miles between the Barclays Center and MSG seriously that much of a problem?
