That's not the priority now, genius.
No its not. That Rondo deal was terrible. Draft picks aren't a guaranteed success.ExactlyYou don't just do trades for the of it. There were other offers that were much better that were unconditional of CP3 agreeing to sign w/ the tradee. Rondo+draft picks is a of a lot better for one.
Just because one team got lucky in the lottery twice doesn't mean it happens for any other team.
You know whats 0 success? Taking on money when it gets you no where and barely getting any draft picks.
In American sports you want to be on TOP or BOTTOM. Being in the middle gets you nothing, especially if your a small market team.
You wanna be the Buffalo Bills or the Indianopolis Colts?
*pur fans are not the smartest.
It is basically a football community with bad football, a miserable hole that only people with no money reside in.
Obviously, there is no way the Hornets are going to come out with a better deal for CP3 than Scola, Kevin Martin, Odom, Dragic and two picks. They will be lucky to get half that much talent back in a deal.
As a Laker fan, I don't even like the deal from a basketball standpoint for us. It is the issue of Stern stepping in on behalf of whiny owners like Cuban and affecting the future of three franchises that I don't like.
As a deal, NO would have made out great, the Lakers would have needed to still get Howard and I have no idea what Houston was thinking.
We all know the priority. Getting 10,000 season tickets, signing a long-term lease, then an owner, etc. That's not anything new.
Considering they are going to get NOTHING when CP3 walks next season this was a very good deal for them. Scola, Martin, and Odom are nothing to sneeze at. Very solid ball players to build a team around and I don't think anyone can question that. I don't see anything else out there that was demonstrably better than this deal, including the Rondo deal from Boston.
Yeah, lets go 18-64 every year till we draft a franchise player.
Don't listen to this guy. He's nothing more than a homer Spurs fan that is secretly giddy the Lakers didn't get CP3.
They will get cap space. They also have other trades for more and better draft picks and expiring players plus young talent.
No, getting an owner is THE priority.
The 10,000 subsidized ticket giveaway was done to prove to a potential owner there is support.
No one but a new owner is going to sign a long term lease.
Damn, you're foolish.
That's exactly what it is. I'm not even sure why they would be upset about the Lakers getting CP3. Their window closed long ago.
lol if scola and martin are that good, how come the rockets didnt make the playoffs last season?...nothing solid here besides .
You don't even know what the you're talking about. Every one in NOLA knows that a lease will be signed before the new owner is announced. They're already negotiating a lease right now. Getting a ing clue or some information before you spill some bull . Seriously, you don't know what the is going on.
Because they didn't have a center.
It could be just what a potential owner wants.
Probably more likely than starting off with tens of millions of obligations right off the bat.
you're a babbaling idiot DPG...you don't deserve another $500...cap space
trades for better draft picksall of which MJ has and can't turn a profit...you're a babbaling, bubbling, blithering idiot
Give me a ing break. At some point you ing need solid talented role players before you're able to move anywhere.
Having tons of cap space and draft picks isn't a recipe for NBA success. Go ask the Baby Bulls how that worked out.
You're a ing joke Spurs homer who supports tampering and collusion. GTFO.
In light of Dan Gilbert's email, do you honestly believe this?
When NOH fans are telling you this was a good deal you know something is ing wrong here. Stupid Spurs homers.
It's a recipe for selling a team.
If it's legit, it pretty much reinforces my point.
The Hornets shouldn't be a dumping ground for multiyear contracts. The priority is getting a new owner. That new owner can make this trade or whatever trade he pleases.
hornets now have capspace, why would they load on more payroll and try another 2 years of mediocrity for these new contracts to be written off?
i rather tank this season and the next 2 for lottery picks, then take another teams overrated trash and wait out for 2 more seasons going nowhere....then again with or without the trade, they are lottery bound anyway, the difference here is 40million payroll each season for the next 2 years just to be a lottery team? gtfo
I love laker fan logic:
''if they don't trade us they will get nothing when he leaves in free agency!''
Well what are these other players they are getting going to do when they hit free agency? So no should just save other teams money, not truly compete and go through this every 2-3 years?
lettin this walk doesnt hurt them besides the clown, he walks away from a max contract the highest the hornets can give, or he goes to another team under the capspace
or join the lakers on a MLE/3 year deal earning 9m total? lmao 60m in loss salary, certainly buss can pay him through a 3rd party to offset the losses in potential income
