we can't trade him because he'll only go to NYK
I haven't seen anything that said it's Knicks or bust. The report just said he wanted to be traded to the Knicks, not that he'd refuse other trades. If that were the case what was the purpose of leaking that he'd resign with the Clippers? Either way, other teams will pay more than NY to rent him. Even if the Clippers gave up Gordon and Jordan they would be an SG signing away from being a darkhorse contender. No way Paul walks away from a near contending team in LA to take less money with the Knicks. Boston is in a similar situation. If Ainge can make a few other moves CP3 would be a fool to walk away from them. It'd be everything he's always claimed to want so he'd leave it because it's the wrong set of BFFs?

By saying he wants to go to the Knicks, he's implicitly saying "I won't sign an extension anywhere else."
Few teams outside of the Mavs will trade for a franchise player who is willing to walk outright at the end of the season.

since when are the clippers on teh verge of being a championship team? they have some great young parts, but they ALWAYS seem to have great young parts. its the clippers for christ sake, the worst nba organization by far and there are some really bad franchises in the nba.

well, its obvious that is where he wants to play long term. At least at this point.

That had no basis. Not that he wouldn't, but his agent is saying NYK. He is actually putting his name to that. If he would go LAC, why wouldn't his agent say that?
NYK- Carmelo & Amare are young and signed long term. The future of NYK is set in stone compared to the other teams. Not to mention the huge market. The NYK are set up best to win in the future.
Bos- Old team. Garnett and Ray Allen are FA's next year. Paul Pierce is signed long term but is aging. He isnt going to sign onto a rebuild.
LAC- they sell the house to get CP3, they are left with him and Blake Griffin, and they hope they can sign DHoward or someone else in free agency after this season. Too many question marks, unless some type of verbal agreement with another player about coming there next season. How is this situation a "near contending team"?
