Time For CP3 To File Lawsuit Against The League

[Koolaid_Man]

Calm down I know he can't but I feel for the kid....small market owners completely fucked the kid over....the NBA has certainly seen it's better days...Paul should tank the season...I know I would...the owners who hated on us will pay for this...Paul will get them back out of spite....

[Giuseppe]

Count your blessings, Kool.

We needed Paul like we needed another hole in the head.

[skut_farkus]

kool, your balls blue scro?

[Koolaid_Man]

Count your blessings, Kool.

We needed Paul like we needed another hole in the head.

all this time you've been staunch in your rejection of Paul...I applaud you for it...for me it was a gamble...I'm concerned about his knees it could be a blessing in disguise for LA and a fuse for Gasol's and Odom's fire...Now if we don't land Dwight I'll be upset because I can't stand Bynum...CAN"T STAND HIS ASS

[Koolaid_Man]

kool, your balls blue scro?


you've never heard me thumping my chest for Paul...now if we don't land Dwight then you can gloat :lol

[024]

acquiring paul would give the lakers a clear successor. if i were the lakers, i would do it just for the long term benefit of having the best PG in the world pretty much locked in for the next 5-6 years. fuck this year.

[Pelicans78]

This hurts the Hornets more than the Lakers. The Hornets had minimal leverage and this was the best deal they were going to get. The owners screwed them because they didn't want Paul to go to the Lakers. Bullshit.

[skut_farkus]

you've never heard me thumping my chest for Paul...now if we don't land Dwight then you can gloat :lol


yea that wasnt a very good trade for la imo.. now if they had something on order for dwight also then we might as well just of handed them the title

I'm just as stiff in my rejection for Howard. He's a project. No thanks. We already wasted 3 years of Bryant's prime fucking with projects. Howard is a square peg in a business of round holes. Let somebody else pay for it. I wouldn't trade any of those three for him (Odom, Bynum, or, Gasol).

yeah they fucked the hornets real bad...they actually picked up some good players....they did better than LA in my opinion...but the reality is anytime you try to fuck LA it only comes back on you...just sit back and watch :toast

[Giuseppe]

Without him we don't beat the Celtics in '10. Just remember that. And don't forget it. It's easy now to dismiss him because he failed this past Spring. But, he dragged that leg thru the '10 playoff session when Perkins sat on his ass because he couldn't go.

& in the '09 Finals he held Howard to one dunk in The Finals.

Your forget too quick, Kool.

[Koolaid_Man]

and I can tell you for sure the owners that did the Hornets in were lead by MJ, the Cavs, the Spurs, the Bucks, and the other fucking boring ass teams....but mainly MJ and Dan Gilbert those 2 fuckers are insane...and will pay for it for a long ass time

[ChumpDumper]

The way to make the Hornets attractive to owner-to-be-named-later is to trade for cap space next season and draft picks.

Scola's deal doesn't fit the blueprint.

[DazedAndConfused]

What is the Hornets' motivation to do anything?

So the Hornets are not allowed to get better as team? Can you take off your Spur homer glasses for a second and realize what a massive conflict of interest we have here?

This hurts the image of the league badly. A horrible precedent is being set here.

The mechanics of the deal are not egregious. Gasol is an All-Star, Odom was 6th man of the year, the Lakers essentially gave away their frontcourt in the deal. Hell, the original Gasol trade was far less balanced IMHO.

he provided a big body that's it...Howard can do that and more....no one respects Bynum but they wouldn't even want to fuck with Howard....Bynum is too boring for me...he's a poor man's Tim Duncan and that's saying something

[ElNono]

wrong...no one will pay to see that shit team perform on the heels of losing Paul...the offer that was on the table was an offer that would have enticed any potential owner...MJ and Gilbert led a coalition of jealous fucks

[ChumpDumper]

So the Hornets are not allowed to get better as team?The overriding goal is finding an owner for the team.

Sucks for Dell.

And the Lakers.

And lakerfan.

Quelle dommage.

You saying Howard can do it is light years away from him actually doing it. He's never done it in 7 seasons. Bynum already did it twice.

And the players say they don't want to fuck with Howard for the cameras, then take his pants down every chance they get.

[Koolaid_Man]

I don't agree much with you, but you're spot on in this one... :lol

I don't wanna argue with you about it Cully...leave it be

[Giuseppe]

Precisely, Kool. Don't let that snake charm you. He did ya dirt, damnable dirt. Fuck him square in the ass with the old perverbial 14 incher.

I'll watch.

[ChumpDumper]

wrong...no one will pay to see that shit team perform on the heels of losing Paul...the offer that was on the table was an offer that would have enticed any potential owner...MJ and Gilbert led a coalition of jealous fuckslol enticed.

It was a shitty deal from that standpoint.

They should have contracted that team during the lockout.

[Giuseppe]

I don't wanna argue with you about it Cully...leave it be

Understood my fine friend.

[ElNono]

go watch some gay porn you flaming phaggot :lol

Only luva watches Naruto :lol

Regulated and then locked down :lol

[ElNono]

Understood my fine friend. :cry :cry

You're wrong on this one Culby... Bynum is a pussy and an asshole.

[Giuseppe]

You're wrong on this one Culby... Bynum is a pussy and an asshole.

Perhaps, but, he helped put the tired old shit bag Duncan down 5-4.

[LnGrrrR]

So you're saying there's a chance for Paul in Boston still? :lol

[DazedAndConfused]

The overriding goal is finding an owner for the team.

Sucks for Dell.

And the Lakers.

And lakerfan.

Quelle dommage.

Then why was Dell allowed to negotiate in earnest with ANY team for CP3? There should have been an understanding from the start that no team would be able to trade for CP3 until NOH was sold.

The reality is the ONLY reason the owners are against this is because it's the Lakers. Ask yourself this, if CP3 were going to Golden State would the owners have tried to step in and block the deal? Hell no, the owners don't give two shits about the long term success and viability of NOH. They only care about their own teams and how this affects them.

Fundamentally the question the league has to ask itself is this, do we want successful teams like the Lakers to have to play by a different set of rules to level the playing field or not. If the answer is yes, you don't have a fair and balanced league. You have something that is not at all dissimilar from the WWE.

I haven't gotten into how this negatively affects the Lakers now, who have to deal with both Pau and Odom being incredibly unhappy and disinterested in training camp. For a team competing for a ring, this is a nightmare situation to deal with.

From what I am hearing on Laker forums, Buss is going to pursue legal action and this is about to get VERY ugly for the league. They're already being blasted by the media for pulling this shit, and now it's about to get even more public once the Laker brass start legal action.

[Koolaid_Man]

You're wrong on this one Culby... Bynum is a pussy and an asshole.


Bynum is better than Tired old shitbag for sure

[ElNono]

Bynum is better than Tired old shitbag for sure

I will even help Buss with the legal bills...I feel bad for CP3 more than anything...If someone did that to me I'd be looking to pull my AR-15 out NBA superstar be dam...

I also wonder how this affect Kobe...knowing that the leauge is colluding against him...I hope it rallies our guys and makes them play a special passion...but I hope he sues the balls of Stern and I want him to rat out the owners behind this...I'm sure CP3 will stop promoting MJ's shit once he finds out the nasty truth about that guy...pretty fucking sad imho :lol

[ElNono]

tbh, Buss just dodged a bullet... that deal was crazy bad for LA...

[DMC]

Calm down I know he can't but I feel for the kid....small market owners completely fucked the kid over....the NBA has certainly seen it's better days...Paul should tank the season...I know I would...the owners who hated on us will pay for this...Paul will get them back out of spite....

If they had you, consider the season tanked, you sawed off, pudgy little wigger fuck.

Didn't this time. :cry

Contraction and a dispersal draft would have avoided all this.

[baseline bum]

LOL if this trade kills off the season.

[ChumpDumper]

I will even help Buss with the legal bills.You have no money.

The Lakers don't play by a different set of rules. They are a large market team that has the advantage of being able to attract big name players, but that doesn't mean they are doing anything illegal to acquire them. This is the cold hard reality of sports, but it doesn't mean small market teams can't compete if they're smart. You should know Spurs fan.

I think we're in agreement here that there is a clear conflict of interest in the league owning a team. They need to either sell the team or dissolve it.

[DMC]

Go on bout your bizness DMC...I'm not in the mood

Don't be all mad like a wet hen. You still have your Naruto friends.

:lmao

[LakerLanny]

Pretty obvious the 2003 *purs series and the 2004 Finals were fixed now.

How can anyone argue it at this point? The Lakers are held to a completely different standard on and off the court than the rest of the league.

Lakers should drop a $1 billion dollar lawsuit on the league with Stern being named personally tomorrow morning.

[LakerLanny]

tbh, Buss just dodged a bullet... that deal was crazy bad for LA...

I am a Laker fan (a world famous one) and I agree with you.

From a basketball standpoint, I don't like the deal as a Laker fan. But that isn't the point, the point is the league stepped in and stopped a deal just because it involved the Lakers and any true fan of the sport would agree that is wrong.

[DPG21920]

Ha, yeaaaaaaaaaa boi, this was just an elaborate trap by yours truly to show Kools azzz as a true rat ya heard. I knew if I got his hopes up, then dashed his dreams his b*tch azz would start running and tattling and this just proves it. :lol You soft homie and just lost all det street cred playa. :lol

[DJ Mbenga]

cp3 has no real recourse. stern can do this and get away with it. its not right or moral but he's safe. thats why they used the laughable excuse "basketball reasons" if anyone sues they can just argue that, then the players cant say he lied.
wonder if this helps the chances of howard to LA. who knows

[ChumpDumper]

lol world famous

[LakerLanny]

I am huge, literally known worldwide as the ultimate Laker fan and generally bad ass poster.

[Koolaid_Man]

all Paul has to do to pay him back is Jake It...real G's know what I'm talking about...I would fuck over the Hornets big time if I Paul...bad passes, getting ripped...I'd fuck em over calling in with the stomach virus...I'd would fuck them royally...it would be all out WAR

probably does. But good luck keeping gasol happy after they trade Bynum/Odom for howard.

Either way, it kills the chances of Howard AND CP3 to LA :toast

Pretty stupid tbh.

he has no legal argument. its a bitch move by stern but perfectly legal. a trade is too lopsided for his taste when its the lakers but if it was the pacers it would be fine. anyways if he files anything it will end up like this:
