2011-2012 NBA Thread: The Chris Paul and Dwight Howard sweepstakes

[Moss]

the difference is age

skillwise CP3 is really a clear step above Rondo

[Demosthenes11]

cp3 hasn't proven he can get it done in the home stretch of the playoffs bro. Rondo has proven to be superman during that time

[Headspace]

Whoever signs Adam Morrison will win a ring.

Whoever signs Adam Morrison will win a dirty moustache competition.

ftfy

[Headspace]

2 more rings than LeBron.

Notice that the only 2 championships that the Lakers won after acquiring Pau were when they had Adam Morrison.

Who is more important to the team? The dirty moustached American, or the dirty facial haired Spaniard?

Cant afford now?

[GRT]

as long as Jim Buss doesn't become Jim Dolan II and fuck over his daddy's legacy, the $3 billion TV deal we have will pay for three Dwights and accompanying taxes... until the 2013-2014 season when teams in luxury tax can no longer use sign-and-trade

looks like Russian Mark Cuban is preparing a monster offer for him though, only way they can keep DWill i guess

I seriously can't blame CP3, the Hornets are a complete mess, 5 people undercontract, not enough money to put two other guys next to him. Hell, the Hornets don't even have a real owner just yet, why he would want to stay here and deal with that mess? beats me. The former GM of the Hornets made a bunch of bad deals, the team literally couldn't go spend money to bring the talent level up to compete with the Spurs, Mav's, Lakers come post-season time.

The Hornets over-achieved big time last year and even then they could only take the Lakers to what, game 5? yeah, not good enough.

[GRT]

what i can't wait to see is how many teams/fans will cry foul/favorism if CP3 gets traded anywhere at all, since the league owns the Hornets

[Rhinox]

Nets have absolutely nothing to offer. Besides if dhow gets traded it won't be to an east team.

[Man0warr]

Yeah CP3 has already lost his good friend Chandler off the Hornets and now David West is about to go too. He's got nothing on that team now but I think he'll have to wait until next year when he's unrestricted.

Mavs going to resign Tyson, and be free of JET and Kidd in 2012, amnesty Matrix or Haywood in 2012, and have plenty of cap space for DWill! He's from DFW and a huge Rangers fan.

[Rhinox]

Heat gonna amnesty dwade and he's gonna take MLE to come to the bulls! He's from Chicago and is a huge bears fan!

[Dimmauk]

Lopez and 2 first round for Howard.

Also, nene going to the heat?

[kisada]

hey

get that laker fan logic out of here. it's not healthy.

[kisada]

Lopez and 2 first round for Howard.

Also, nene going to the heat?

sam d wants to sign with the heat too but i think he'd actually be the one to sign for cheap, whereas nene is gonna get paid

[Cail]

jjust read cp3 isnt gonna sign an extension, so that kinda kills trade talks about him

[Valisk]

jjust read cp3 isnt gonna sign an extension, so that kinda kills trade talks about him

He isn't going to sign an extension with the Hornets or any team he doesn't want to remain on. Should increase the trade talks with the team he wants to go to. (Read: Knicks)

[Cail]

was in reference to the celtics i guess then, sincehtats been the rumor the past day or 2
