That Chris Paul trade has to be one of the worst ever

[RagaZ]

Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, Al Farouq Aminu and the Wolves pick who turned out to be Austin Rivers.

I think it's way worse than the Gasol trade. At least Memphis got Marc Gasol and made 2 nice playoff runs, something they never did with Pau Gasol.

Funny part is .....We lost Chris Paul so he can lose in the Playoffs on The Clippers.

If only David Stern would have let the Lakers get CP3

Holiday
Evans
Granger type player
Davis
Gasol

Legit contender

It helped NOLA land Anthony Davis, so I'll call it a wash. Rivers has been pretty serviceable of the bench lately. Also, Pels are 6-1 with Eric Gordon inactive this season. If NOLA can flip EG for a decent 3 or 5, I'd cream my pants.

By the way, CP3 just lost to the Pels last night when the Pelicans only had 9 active players and DARIUS MILLER was playing some point guard. Went something like 2 points 0-12 from the floor.

Gordon was a 22/5 with good D on the Hornets and without trading CP3 Hornets would never have had the chacne to draft Anthony Davis. Chris Paul did not manage to get far in the p/o and with results in hand it was a good deal because now NBA managed to sell the team and Brow was drafted..

The Hornets would not have been bad enough to get Davis if the Laker trade had gone through. They would have been in the 6-10 pick range.

[Brizzly]

Chris Paul also wanted to leave, when he says that out loud there is nothing to really do, their alternative was getting Pau and Lamar, which sounds even worse.

Only God knows that

Why do people pretend like this is true. You think Scola, Kevin Martin and a disgruntled Odom is leading the Hornets any where? Hornets could have still easily tanked the season and kept Dragic as well.

[no pun intended]

Could've got

Lamar Odom (from LA Lakers), Kevin Martin (from HOU Rockets), Luis Scola (from HOU Rockets), Goran Dragic (from HOU Rockets)

LMAO at people still crying about this.

You really think a tanking team would have kept those guys? They would have been flipped for future assets and picks.

Dragic/Martin/Ariza/Scola/Davis

Is pretty formidable.

You hear me?

FORMIDABLE.

This team could have been battling it out for 10th or 11th seed and not have drafted Anthony Davis. Such a shame they missed out on a stacked team with that original trade.
