Brook Lopez, bleh.... Can you say NBA's worst defensive team?
Wish it were the Clipps as the front runner.

[QUOTE=Kobe 4 The Win]Get over it? I'm happy. That was a bad deal for us. What I'm worried about is Pau and Lamar's mental state after this shit. Will it affect their play?. I still think it's not over.[/QUOTE]
That's what some of you don't understand (mainly the select few of you who have a few screws loose in the head). This is a much bigger issue than just Lakers/Rockets/Hornets.
Re: Nets have emerged as favorites for Dwight; Howard expected to ask for deal there.
Still don't think it's gonna happen.. Nothing this good ever happens to the Nets. :lol
We'll strike out, have a poor regular season & Deron will bolt to Dallas. Not gonna believe it til it's 100% confirmed & I see Dwight pulling on a Nets jersey.
Re: Nets have emerged as favorites for Dwight; Howard expected to ask for deal there.
I don't think it's the same as the CP3 situation. I think were all stupid for not realizing how difficult it was going to be for the Hornets to move Chris Paul. I kinda had it in the back of my head like what if but never actually put it into play when thinking where he'd end up.
The NBA owns the Hornets. Makes shit ridiculously complicated. Wouldn't have been blocked if the Hornets had an owner. Simple as that. Didn't block the Pau trade. I think if it was ANY big named team this would have happened. Any team with a piece like Kobe on it. NY, Miami etc. Doubt it would have happened if Paul wanted to go to Milwaukee witch is a shitty double standard but a reality. Can't let Paul demand where he wants to go be traded when it's a contender when the NBA owns the team. Esp when the deal your getting back is making the Hornets pay MORE money and not really improve to a significant level.
Howard's situation is completely different. He can demand whatever he'd like and it's up to the Magic owner. Chris Paul can't because clearly that temp GM doesn't have the power to give the final say on things.

You sir are a true Net fan, always a cynic until something is concrete :)

I'm sorry what's the issue? That Lamar has a bigger vajajay than Khloe?
Kobe Bryant straight up is on Youtube saying "trade his ass" about Bynum a few years ago ... did Bynum cry about it?
This is a business, you have a job to do and you get paid a lot of money to do it. Suck it up you two princesses. Trades fall through in the NBA all the time.
Re: Nets have emerged as favorites for Dwight; Howard expected to ask for deal there.
It is not the same as the CP3 situation because it is not the LAKERS, we're talking about the lowly Nets. It is apparently the Lakers fault for working their butts off to win multiple championships. It is okay for Stern to screw with them because they are not a shitty team like the Nets. So many hypocritical losers...not a word y'all say will ever have credibility again.

Its one thing for us to all sit around and talk about it, but the reality is....we all watched Pau Gasol get sensitive during the playoffs last year, and play horribly. And Lamar? Dude practically damn near cried in an interview today with Stephen A....
The reality is, things like this do hurt chemistry. And that is something NO fan wants to see happen to their teams.

I'M GONNA CRY I'M SO HAPPY, PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN!
Re: Nets have emerged as favorites for Dwight; Howard expected to ask for deal there.
Everyone seems relaxed, and calm.
How the sh*t will hit the fan, and everyone will be enraged again if Dwight turns up on the Lakers.
Basically a league cannot run this way, but everyone excepts it when the Lakers are the ones that get sh*tted on.
HIL-AR-IOUS.

What's so unfortunate about it? Let someone else contend for a title for a few friggin' years.
It's not like the offer the Lakers made was that great, odds are New Orleans wouldn't have any of those players on their roster in 2-3 years time.
Martin is overrated big time, Odom would bolt the first chance he gets.
Get some legit young players that you can actually build something around, I'm sure the Clippers would oblige. If not, Danny Ainge is a gambler, he'd probably ship Rondo, who is a much better player to work with going forward than all this salary junk the Hornets were getting.

What don't you understand? The NBA owns the Hornets. It makes shit reaaaal complicated obviously. Something everybody seemed to forget when talking about where Paul was going to end up. NBA didn't cancel the Pau trade? Didn't stop the Heat from ganging up. Let's not pretend the NBA is out to get the Lakers, because that's downright silly. Just found themselves the winners of a shitty situation and got screwed.
Howard can go anywhere he wants, demand it. Be it NJ, L.A, NY and the NBA can't do shit because there not the owners. Seriously the NBA couldn't have done what they just did to ANY team with Howard.
Chris Paul is going to be like free agency. The NBA will dictate who can do what and when.
Re: Nets have emerged as favorites for Dwight; Howard expected to ask for deal there.
I think even Dwight knows he can't demand a trade to the Lakers because he knows damn well that Rich DeVos will have nothing to do with sending another big man star to the Lakers after Shaq.
The Lakers made life long enemies there with alleged tampering in acquiring/courting O'Neal in 1996.

Im not a lakers fan (ThunderUp), but the reality was that if the NBA did not own the Hornets, CP3 would be a Laker, no matter how good/bad the trade was.
Hence unfortuate for them :P
