Butler/Aminu

[QUOTE=Fiasco]I hope New Orleans makes the playoffs, wins the lottery, and Eric Gordon becomes the 2nd greatest shooting guard of all time.

I also hope Blake Griffin breaks his legs and CP3 shatters his knee caps. This is what this franchise deserves.[/QUOTE]

Dude, you're crazy.

Clipps gave a lot but they got the third best PG in the game.



If he stays healthy they'll be a playoff team. They just gotta get that player that will take over in crunch time cuz CP3 ain't it.

So all of this is theoretical right now? How close to an agreement are they realistically?

[QUOTE=ihatetimthomas]You are tripping man. The Clippers got a legit superstar. They get to pair up Griff with CP3 and you are pissed? I will admit, they gave up a lot. But you now have 2 legitimate superstars. You get a guy who will make both Griff and Deandre better. AND you get a player who will likely keep Griffin around for an extension.

Clippers are now a legitimate playoff team. No doubt about it. They have holes, but they are going to be filled because now players will come on the cheap. You get the superstar players and then worry about the rest.

CP3 is a guy who can finally dig this team out of the ground. Losing Gordon hurts. But he was also injury prone and no way of knowing if he was going to turn into a superstar.[/QUOTE]

Chris Paul is coming off a bloody knee injury, and he's only got 2 years ensured on his contract. We get to pair up CP3 and Blake Griffin, but where the hell is all of our depth now? Did you not see what happened to New York this year?

Eric Gordon was on the cusp of being a star. Not to mention his injuries are not the result of chronic problems in his ligaments, but they're just unfortunate incidents that happen during games. Not to mention he is younger, cheaper, and would have been had for at least 5 years if he was resigned.

Now all it takes is for 1 of our best players to get injured and we're an instant lottery team. Fan-****ing-tastic.

I gotta be in the Twilight Zone reading dumb-ass posts like this one.

SMFH... I'm done posting in this thread.

I guess David Stern was vindicated. Much much better deal than the Lakers one.

[QUOTE=Kobr]Dude, you're crazy.[/QUOTE]

I'm just pissed everyone is downplaying what an absolutely rape this was by David Stern.

Does anybody else not realize the Clippers were betting against themselves?

Wait a minute, so paul is signing the extension? how many years is this extension???

[QUOTE=Collie]I guess David Stern was vindicated. Much much better deal than the Lakers one.[/QUOTE]

Yup. It's hard to hate on the guy now that he got what he did.

[QUOTE=macpierce]Wait a minute, so paul is signing the extension? how many years is this extension???[/QUOTE]

No he's just not going to opt out of his contract. He'll be a free agent in two years.

[QUOTE=macpierce]Wait a minute, so paul is signing the extension? how many years is this extension???[/QUOTE]

He's not signing an extension. He's just picking up his player option, which is for 1 extra year. Then he's a FA.

[QUOTE=Fiasco]Now our starting SG is Foye. We have no back-up center, no back-up small forward.

Zero depth. And Mo Williams + Bledsoe are 100% going to be traded for crap players.

We absolutely got bent over. The Hornets had NOBODY ELSE BIDDING on CP3. And they took all of our best assets for a guy coming off a knee injury with a 2 year contract.

**** this squad.[/QUOTE]

STFU, you have Chris Paul & Blake Griffin, you will win go like 45-21 and then win 55-60 the year after.

You are now elite, you were crap before.

Clippers gave up more than what the Knicks gave up to get Carmelo.

I know that Paul is a great player but that package is outrageous for a guy with shaky knees.

Stern fleeced them badly. The Hornets are set up well for the future. Awesome trade for them.
