Hope We Can Squeeze At Least 2 More Titles Out Of Paul's Knees Before We Amnesty Him

[Koolaid_Man]

Listen we all know Paul's knee is questionable...I told Cully that if he undergoes that procedure Kobe did in Germany he could be back to 100%. I'm just of the opinion that all I want is 2 more titles to surpass MJ and then I'm good. If Chris can hold up for 2 titles like Gasol did then it was worth it..

We can always amnesty him if they don't hold up. :toast I'm just disloyal like that :lol

If we don't luck out and have Gasol face old limp dick Howard in '09 and luck out again and have Perkins miss Games 6 & 7 in '10 I ain't got 5-4 Kobe.

Cant amnesty Paul. Stuck with him and his bad knees. Seems like half the starters on the Lakers would have bad knees. Imagine if you guys signed Brandon Roy and David West. Your whole lineup would be full of gimps.

They've obviously had enough of Gasol. Kobe is in the process of running him off--like he ran off Daddy. Odom just happens to be in the way.

I think CP3 will make it easier for Kobe in the regular season. Once the playoffs start, Kobe will be well-rested and ready to dominate while CP3 comes along for the ride.

That's just it, Kobe can dominate no longer. He needs help. That is where Gasol, Odom, Artest, et al failed last playoffs and why Kobe is now exacting his vengeance/rehabilitation.

I wanted one more time with this crew, but, that ain't gonna happen.

& worry about Artest's response to seeing Odom getting run off like this. He's liable to revert and take off after Bryant like a crazy man.

any team that signs paul should buy an insurance for his knees imho, then his salary would be paid in full by the insurance company in the event he suffers broken knees

Hi, puddin'head.

[JamStone]

Paul can become a free agent after this season, has a player option for next season. But he'll obviously seek an extension if he's traded to the Lakers. Can't use the amnesty then on a post CBA contract.

What Jam said.

Besides, it's only one knee and it looked fine in the playoffs.

No team with Chris Paul as it's best player will ever win a championship.

He won't do an extension, he'll go to free agency, but the point is the same. He'll stay with LA if he's traded there.

When you're cool, calm & collected like this, you're absolutely adorable.

If the trade does happen, I fully expect CP3 to sign an extension with the Lakers. When there were rumors Boston was after him, he made it clear he wouldn't sign an extension there. I don't believe he's done the same thing with respect to the Lakers. And I doubt the Lakers trade their big man depth for a 1 or 2 year rental. They would have to be sure CP3 would be joining the Lakers with an extension soon following.

He won't sign and extension because it will cost him guaranteed money. He will do what D-Will said and let himself go to free agency, because he can sign with LA for 5 years 100M, vs 4 years 75M via the extension IIRC.
