This is terrible for the league.
I want to see Dan Gilberts next letter
This is terrible for the league.
I just don't see, if the reports are true, how if the movement in players changed was only between LA and NO how LA magically came up with draft picks and young talent from their roster.
I want to see the new deal.
Just gave up your advantage over most of the league. better hope lakers dont face OKC or Memphis early in the playoffs.
Williams better than CP3 is laughable.Best PG in the NBA in 2008 maybe. Rose and Williams are better, more reliable, more durable... not vaginas, etc.
BUT a Top 3 PG... huge upgrade from Fisher.
But the frontcourt is thin mi amigo ... Bynum needs to stay healthy. Keep in mind injuries are more damning this year with a shortened schedule.
Still an accurate statement.
draft pics and the lakers taking on contracts. dan gilbert wants those luxury tax checks to his pocket
That's nothing to do with the front office. It has everything to do with being in a desirable location on a storied franchise.
Salaries are salaries, and there's only so much a front office can do to convince a player to come to a place like San Antonio to play for an ex-ABA team with a history of being a retirement stop for ringless players.
Tbh I don't know what to think.
talks must be really secretive cause the details havent leaked.
Wrong. San Antonio just doesn't have the trade assets the Lakers do.
The Lakers superior FO put the team in the position to trade for a CP3 and Dwight after winning another back to back. What did SA do? Trade for a player everybody knew was already washed-up and then overpaid him, again. And they still haven't amnesty'd the guy. lol
Looks like it might be LA getting Okafor. I guess NO wants to make sure LA doesn't have too many holes upfront, but at least if true as long as they don't take on anymore salary themselves NO is getting rid of one contract.
The fact that LA is willing to do this to get CP3 in fact shows Demps is an idiot because he could have gotten a better deal as evidence by him well, getting a better deal.
Yeah, trading Okafor to the Lakers is terrible. His contract isn't great, but he's still a solid starting center. They should have taken Ariza. He sucks and is overpaid.

What would that mean in terms of LALs race to get D12?
DPG, I think you're making up the part about Okafor. I haven't seen his name mentioned anywhere. But if you're right, i'll give you credit for it.
Paul and Bynum for Dwight Howard.
+ he's got that thick chest.

Bend over, I'll show you what's thick.
This is a massive upgrade at the point guard for the Lakers. I think they got a shot to win the championship. They only need one big man. (Bynum for now)
Until we see what the deal is, hard to tell, but if it's just them sending out Odom/Pau still, regardless of who they take back does little to impact any draft trade (losing their first rounder might hurt slightly).
So we know for sure pau and Lamar are going to their teams as before?
No, but that is the initial reports coming out. Looks like basically the only differences from the last trade came from between NO and LA. Houston still gets Pau and gives up the same guys. LA will probably just have to eat Okafor's contract and give up their first round draft pick (which is crap anyways) and NO gets the same players as before, but they also dump Okafor's contract.
It's better than before, but still a re ed trade that actually helps LA more w/ regards to filling a void by getting Okafor.
Kill the trade again. This is even worse than last time

Seems to me that only way this deal could be revised is to put Bynum in for Odom and send Okafor back to Lakers.
