First; Melo to the Knicks is apparently now a forgone conclusion - to join Stoudemire (Sic).
I know it was joked about on here when the NBA acquired New Orleans; that Paul could head to the Lakers; but did anyone see the stat line for assists the Hornets hung up yesterday: FOUR! NBA record low. From a team led by CPIII, who at one time got assists just for thinking about passing. Dude is devaluing quicker than a 1981 Peso. In another month or two (at the trading deadline) "filler and some picks for Paul" will be sold as plausible.
After the Gasol trade, it is obvious the league has no shame when it comes to rigging line ups; now it seems that damn near ALL marquis talent is headed to prime markets (or is already there).
Three seasons ago, the Lakers were up and coming; looking solid; then Bynum went down; creating a glaring weakness up front. That was inexplicably rectified by the most imbalanced trade in modern history - the Lakers have not missed a finals since.
The Laker's GLARING, exploitable weakness now is at Point Guard - I think the NBA is going to rectify that situation.
