I too would spend my early 20s traveling Spain as a professional athlete over living in Detroit.

yes, singler SO OTM

also i think he's secretely trying to goad detroit into just outright not signing him
seems like that'd make sense for a lot of this year's 2nd round picks. why wait to sign in a foreign league if you don't have a guaranteed contract waiting for you at the end of the lockout?
― OOOO, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 19:53 (twelve years ago) link
have we not signed nene yet WTF, pat riley?
― Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 30 November 2011 20:52 (twelve years ago) link
is CP3 an upgrade over rondo? both are great.
cp3 is a pretty significant upgrade over rondo, as much as i love rondo - he's probably the second-best defensive 1 in the game (to rondo) and on offense can do anything rondo can do but better
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:44 (twelve years ago) link
wow so many rondos in that post
word is cp3 would not sign an extension with the Cs anyway, so that deal is probably done
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:45 (twelve years ago) link
i think everyone is speculating sign + trade so he can get more cash
i have no idea why he wouldn't want to go there -- i guess they're old but they're one of the best run orgs in the business. unless he really wants to play for the clippers.

idk i don't really blame him, their future doesn't look great beyond the next couple years and who knows how long doc'll want to coach
he'd make more sense in the celtics current system than westbrook, mostly due to his defense - although they do need another player who can create (and make) his own shot
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:57 (twelve years ago) link
paul would assassinate people on this year's celtics -- they already get such an insane amount of open shots. if they got him i think they'd be the favorites in the east.
― v-shasty, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:58 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i probably agree
― k3vin k., Thursday, 1 December 2011 00:00 (twelve years ago) link
but i'm not sure if they'll get him this season
if i'm the hornets/the nba idk if i'd want rondo back -- you have to have a very specific team around him (i.e. one that can convert all is passes into assists, bcuz he's not really scoring)

is there a definitive list of all the players who can't come back this season. I mean the entirety of the denver nuggets, but who else?

The Nugs, and Aaron Brooks
That's about it.

doc signed a 5-year extension so there should be no reason he wouldn't be there as long as paul.
― cad, Thursday, 1 December 2011 01:16 (twelve years ago) link
oh ok i forgot he signed an extension, i thought this was his last year on contract for some reason
― k3vin k., Thursday, 1 December 2011 03:50 (twelve years ago) link
still celtics will be a middling team in 3-4 years probs

More than a year and a half after his last surgery and the latest estimate is that Greg Oden will be ready to play (maybe) in January. Can't wait to see how his free-agency goes.
― Aimless, Thursday, 1 December 2011 19:06 (twelve years ago) link
at this point he's a near minimum-contract guy, i think.

honestly i'm not sure i can hate a knicks team with cp3, melo & amare -- amare is prob my favorite athlete right now behind THE REAL BLACK MAMBA (de'anthony thomas)
― v-shasty, Thursday, 1 December 2011 19:35 (twelve years ago) link
i'm going to have to summon up all of my intense hatred of new york sports fans to pull that one off
now if nene could just similarly force his way to the heat . . .
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 1 December 2011 19:36 (twelve years ago) link
oh i'll be able to hate them just fine ('cept for a'mare, obv.).
interesting eastern-conference. NYK -- Heat rivalry is back.
is it even possible for the knicks to pull this off?
― v-shasty, Thursday, 1 December 2011 19:39 (twelve years ago) link
i liked the heat-knicks rivalry renewal a lot more when it was amare + homegrown knicks vs the monolothic heat transformer -- there's no narrative to a knicks-heat superstar rivalry
― v-shasty, Thursday, 1 December 2011 19:42 (twelve years ago) link
well, sure there is. two powerhouse, star-heavy teams that represent the "new" NBA of player-driven rosters.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 1 December 2011 19:44 (twelve years ago) link
Paul has reached out to Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard(notes) recently, encouraging Howard to find a way for the two to play together, sources told Yahoo! Sports.
apparently chris paul took up crack during the lock out. what a shame.
― v-shasty, Thursday, 1 December 2011 19:45 (twelve years ago) link
i should've said that there's no interesting narrative

it won't be in two years but i bet it is right now. scary.
― cad, Thursday, 1 December 2011 19:46 (twelve years ago) link
btw there is no way that this is happening unless the knicks are able to grind the entire league basically to a halt by trying to put a three-way deal over on every single team in the league
the difference between this and the amare sitaution as it pertains to the knicks is that the knicks truly have nothing left to trade. with melo the hornets were "shopping for a better offer" but they still had a pretty good thing in their pocket w/ the knicks role player sampler that they ended up taking.
truly i can't forsee anyway that the knicks could pull off a trade for cp3 unless the hornets just flush their entire franchise down the toilet by taking... who? landry jones, iman shumpert and non-lottery picks from now until 2020?
― v-shasty, Thursday, 1 December 2011 19:48 (twelve years ago) link
by amare i mean carmelo obv
amd also obv nuggets not hornets
― v-shasty, Thursday, 1 December 2011 19:49 (twelve years ago) link
Nets can offer D Will a 5th year and more than anyone else in free agency. An extension would be 4 years, $78 million ; FA signing with any team but Nets 4 years, $75 million; FA with Nets 5 years, $100 million. It's a no-brainer not to extend.
I still expect him to resign with the Nets as $25 million is not to be sneezed at.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 1 December 2011 20:07 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i think this is mostly a formality. i think BIG PROK will in the d will gamble.
plus if he's gonna be on the move AFTER howard and chris paul, idk what team is gonna be left for him.
― v-shasty, Thursday, 1 December 2011 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
So if Paul really wants to go to New York, he can go -- as long as he's willing to give up, at a minimum, forty million dollars to do it. (The same, incidentally, applies for Deron Williams or Dwight Howard.)
