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.

Except, you know, the whole part about Paul walking and joining a super team next year.

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

What would you like for Paul?
We were coming out on top with that trade

I didn't say it was better. If you wanna be mediocre forever that's fine. Your trading away a talent that comes around so often. He's arguably the best player at his position in a league that's dominated by PG's.
But at least you'll be itching to get tickets to watch Odom and Kevin Martin........

Of course we're trying to trade him for something of value.

Sorry, the Heat turned down our offer for Lebron and Wade

He is leaving after this year anyway. Getting rid of him now is the right move

He. Doesnt. Want. To. Play. Here.
I guess the only real mistake we made was not trading him last year

Trade will go through eventually.
That is all.
That is all.

You should expect a superstar or a collection of stars that aren't famous cause they are on a reality series and are past their prime.
Rondo and Jeff Green for example would be better.

He clearly doesnt understand

What are you talking about?
Posted on 12/9/11 at 12:39 am to Deactived
I'm arguing that New Orleans should get better in return, not that they shouldn't trade him. I'm arguing the system is completely f'd if the best they can get for a super star PG in his prime is f'ing Lamar Odom. If I was NO fan I'd be pissed that's all we got back for the face of a franchise, and demand better that's all I'm saying
Posted on 12/9/11 at 12:41 am to Buffalo Breh
Have you actually seen what players the trade involved?
Posted on 12/9/11 at 12:41 am to Buffalo Breh
Lamar Odom, Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, Goran Dragic, and two draft picks > nothing
Posted on 12/9/11 at 12:42 am to Buffalo Breh
CP3 is leaving the Hornets in June. He will walk and we won't have anything. With this deal at least we can salvage the team and be at least respectable. Next season we are looking at no good players and no good draft picks to rebuild and a colossal downfall.
Posted on 12/9/11 at 12:44 am to Deactived
Odom, Scola, Dragic, and Kmart correct? Unless I missed someone, the only player I could maybe get excited about is Martin, and he played a combined total of 46 games the 2 years before last.
Posted on 12/9/11 at 12:45 am to Buffalo Breh
Scola is a great player.
