Does HE NOT REALIZE Paul is going to whatever team he wants next season?

New Orleans is better getting return.

What part of taking back 65 million in shitty contracts do you not understand?

The new owner would have no chance to build a team he wants. He would be straddled with an 8th seed right at the luxury tax line.

We would have 5 mediocre players combing for 50+ million.

I don't like NBA basketball. I don't really care for the sport.


But I came here to say this: as a sports fan, this pisses me off. I hate that our society has so few "franchise players" left. But this is bullshite -- it was a trade that makes the team better.

"We don't want Chris Paul deciding where he's going to go. So instead of his General Manager deciding we're gonna make him wait a year and let him decide where he wants to go."

We would be taking back $35.8 and shedding $35.7 with the other trades being talked about. He wasn't done

Me too NOSA, as I had already largely reduced my NBA viewership in recent years, but will not leave a single tv on an NBA game as background filler(have 6 in a credenza in a sports room).

It took me years to get over the rigged hosejobs by NBA of Port Jailgangstas and Sacto, for Lakers in 2000 and 2002.

Every person that bought season tickets should ask for their money back. CP3 will leave next year and the Hornets get NOTHING.

I'm totally pulling this out of my arse, but what if there were a Memorandum of Understanding or even a Purchase Agreement in place that contained a condition that Paul be on the roster at the time of the Act of Sale?

That is basically what I stated in not legal terms on page 1. I think it is highly possible.

BINGO VOR BINGO! The NBA owners aren't going to announce deal until after Dec. 31, 2011 for tax reasons. They have already selected the new owner but he is currently undergoing the economic background check right now which should last another 45 days.

I think you're both highly delusional.

Then why were the Hornets allowed to actively persue trade partners for Paul. Stern knew we were looking to deal Chris for weeks, but waits until a trade is in place to say no?

I will go under the assumption that Stern was banking there was no way CP3 would be moved so quickly. He doubted the mere genius of one, Dell Demps.

This right here is internet message board at its finest. Keep saying it and maybe someone will pick it up on twitter and turn it into a bigger clusterfrick. Stranger things have happened.

So why would a new owner want to destroy his own franchise?

That's some very good deductive reasoning, but if that were the case, it seems like something Stern should have told Demps.

With the new CBA specifying that CP3's Bird rights are dependent on him being with his new team by 12/31, Stern had to know that Demps would move fast to maximize his leverage.
