Better than three above average players and two draft picks? If the Hornets are prevented by the league from trading Paul this whole season, they get nothing and he gets to leave the team at the end of the season as a free agent. This deal was about the best they were going to get, and the league straight fricked them.
How great were the teams those players played on? You're downgrading and your getting draft picks that will be outside the lottery.
I know it's hard to do better. But it's highway robbery. I have a problem with the system way more than the actual trade. It's ridiculous how players like Paul and Melo dictate where they wanted to play and their teams have to take players in return that will never amount them to anything more than a 1 and done team in the playoffs, just because they HAVE to get something in return.

So its better for the Hornets to have a player who doesnt want to be there, and then leaves and signs with LA for nothing next season?
Yea, thats way better
