Lakers, Hornets Hold Exploratory Talks On CP3

[DPG21920]

Asking me is kind of a give away. Of course I would. You would have to give us a bit more than Howard due to the outgoing salary. From my understanding the salaries don't have to match up ask much under this new deal, so, I'd take Bass and Howard for Pau and Bynum.

They do for LA since they are in the luxury tax, but they didn't go down it just remained the same as before whereas non-tax teams now have more room.

[DPG21920]

but has CP3 said he would take a trade to the clippers?

No, but that's the point. NO would rather deal with Clips or GS because of the young assets and draft picks, but if CP3 won't sign, they won't give up as much.

[DPG21920]

Hornets wouldn't take Biedrins. I think the Clippers thing could happen if CP3 wants to sign a long-term extension.

Why not? He is still a young big man. But they still have plenty of young guys to trade in Monta/Wright/Curry/Lee...If CP3 said he would extend, they could get something where they get good young players and a draft pick and give up Paul plus a bad contract.

how eager would NO do it if gordon isnt included. as of now with a rental they wont give him up.

[DPG21920]

Yes. Clippers more than GS. I can see him really wanting to play with Blake Griffin.

[DPG21920]

how eager would NO do it if gordon isnt included. as of now with a rental they wont give him up.

They wouldn't do it if Gordon isn't included IMO. It's either CP3 says I'll sign and they do it, or no deal.

Ah ok

Thanks

Talks are serious. I'm surprised the Lakers would be willing to trade Gasol for CP3. I wouldn't mind having Gasol I guess. Him and Okafor in the frontcourt would be fine. Sign Landry as a backup I guess. Use additional cap room to sign a wing scorer. 45 win ectasy!

Wow Gasol and Okafor WOULD be a nice front-court ...

[Giuseppe]

... I like Okafor as a complimentary en y. The distance twixt the flat of his back and the front of his chest is incredible.

[DMC]

Bynum has privately been heard to say this offseason that he wants his own team

Austin Toros tbh

Just when I thought the line was drawn on sexual debauchery, Culby comes crashing through it like a rape victim from a Colorado hotel room.

[DMC]

It seems like some teams' sole purpose in life is to ensure they never ring.

You can't sucker him into making the deal for you.

Will the NBA make a smart trade for CP3 or gift CP3 to somebody?

Grow up, gd it. I'm serious. Look at the man. He's inordinately thick between back & chest. That's an advantage and I'm sure he uses it in the paint.

they will bring CP3 to their homecourt. of course i mean the Knicks. They finally have a chance to make the NBA's largest market a winner again. they wont pass up that chance.

Whatever code words you chose to use, that up to you.

I just call it like I see it.

[Koolaid_Man]

The Lakers can definitely get Chris Paul.

But there's just no way in they'd get D12.
Be happy that yall can even get CP3.

you should just be happy that your girl is the only that doesn't like a snake... ( hint hint)

[Koolaid_Man]

Oh, I thought you guys were just joking about them making the 8th seed. I dont think Paul wants to play in LA. I'd prefer Howard.

No he doesn't want to play in LA...he's a Lebron nut hugger all the way...something could change his mind though...we'll see...but most def I prefer Howard if it came down to it...I think with Pau and Howard we'd have our own nice big 3...minus the once a month bleeding that Pau will do...

[NRHector]

so much bull from lakers fan in this thread

[DPG21920]

sure, they have young assets. Monta/curry/biedrins....gordon/jordan/aminu...draft picks.

[NRHector]

Those teams arent in position to negotiate.
