Agents say Deal will most likely go through

[InRareForm]

RT @ AlexKennedyNBA I've talked to a number of agents today. They all believe that David Stern will eventually allow the CP3 trade to go through. We'll see.

after D12 is a New Jersey Net. Then, the deal officially becomes a shitty deal for the Lakers.

[InRareForm]

^ thinking the same.

Well regardless..deal is pretty shitty if the Lakers can't find a decent PF. Clearly, more so now that Dwight is a Nets player.

[DrHouse]

D12 is not going to the Nets. You people are fucking stupid. :lmao inbred hicks.

This is all a smokescreen to get the heat off the Lakers trade. I expect D12 to stay with the Magic till the trade deadline, upon which time he'll force his way to LA.

[IronMexican]

DrHouse. The real one.

Deal was not shitty, Lakers would have received the best PG in the league or close second, the best C in the league and they'd keep a very nice role player Kobe. staaackkkeeedd. This big 3 is surely better than miami one

Just as easy as sayin' it.

tee, hee.

We shall see..

[Sportcamper]

Oh c'mon! We were giving up two All Stars and a Kardashian!
This was a good trade for the Hornets...

Actually, House makes a good, albeit altogether troubling point that I hadn't considered.

...fuck.

Deal will not go through... unless the Hornets get a new owner or get a huge cap relief.

The trade was not lopsided or a gamble or a steal or whatsoever. Paul demanded a trade to NY - NOH turned down their offer and the Lakers offer was better. And even if they had an agreement with the Magic to trade for Howard - guess what - that's how business works and I applaud their GM.

The trade got blocked because it's better for the league. Not because the Lakers would have become a powerhouse again - because the Hornets are still attractive for a possible buyer.
Nobody would buy the franchise without a star player, without young aspiring players or lottery bound draft picks. The trade would have put the Hornets over the cap as well because they still need to get a couple of playes and have a pending qualifying offer.
Stern allowing this trade to go through would have meant the death of the Hornets franchise in New Orleans.

:rollin:lol...I can say I had a hard time sleeping last night because I have been following the news on the forums and radio..:wakeup

[Rummpd]

It should go through it was pretty fair to all concerned and Lakers taking a gamble on blowing up their current big three.

does dan gilbert need to send another strongly worded email???

[mavsfan1000]

Don't do it Stern. Fuck the Lakers.

[baseline bum]

I don't see how the trade can be stopped. If they weren't going to allow Paul to be traded they should have said it a week ago.

[ChumpDumper]

I'm sure it can go through. Just fun to watch the lakerfan meltdown stretch out a bit more.

[IronMexican]

Totally, brah.

[IronMexican]

Tbh, the real question is how are those Laker fans who said Williams was better than Paul will now have to spin Paul being better.

[InRareForm]

With new Sterns new memo, looks like Deal won't happen. Unless some kind of new kink or deal sweetner in the trade comes into play. Seems unlikely now tho..

hornets & grizzlies are just two d-league affiliates of the lakers imho what's new here?
