Swap for D12 in that trade and im down

Carnitas, Thursday, 15 December 2011 04:48 (twelve years ago) link

yeah that's totally fine! but on a pure results basis this is better for everyone except the rockets, and the rockets will be ok.

um yah because then you traded a center and a pf for the best center in basketball, instead of trading a center and a pf for a point guard on a team that still has kobe!

cad, Thursday, 15 December 2011 04:50 (twelve years ago) link

Also bynum for pau. But u catch my drift

hay dudes just wondering what everyone who was saying the hornets werent going to get a better deal for paul are thinking abt right now

Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 15 December 2011 05:38 (twelve years ago) link

abt how hard i owned you or something else

Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 15 December 2011 05:38 (twelve years ago) link

and ive said this before but absolutely the only thing david stern did wrong imho happened last year when the nba bought a team, thats a fucked up situation, seeing as he is currently the acting owner everything he did as far as the paul saga makes perfect sense, its just like an owner saying his gm has autonomy and then waking the fuck up when the guy makes a horrible trade, which is exactly what happened

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:02 (twelve years ago) link

Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:04 (twelve years ago) link

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:06 (twelve years ago) link

Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:06 (twelve years ago) link

Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:07 (twelve years ago) link

so in your mind you truly believe one of us said that that deal was the best deal NOH could possibly get? That there was no chance of a better deal?

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:07 (twelve years ago) link

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:11 (twelve years ago) link

we said it was a good deal for them

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:12 (twelve years ago) link

Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:16 (twelve years ago) link

lol i mean the clippers

Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:16 (twelve years ago) link

the argument was

-this is a good deal for the hornets

-there is no overriding competitive reason for Stern to veto it as commish

The Hornets finding a better deal elsewhere was NOT the argument and you're being really juvenile in trying to turn that into the argument so you can be "right."

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:16 (twelve years ago) link

the clippers u mean

whoops meant to c+p this

thank you i appreciate that xp

Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:23 (twelve years ago) link

They got a better deal and you were confident they would.

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:24 (twelve years ago) link

but I didn't say they would never get a better deal, just that this was a good deal and vetoing it was ultra fishy.

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:24 (twelve years ago) link

honestly I think the trade was mediocre for all 3 teams... but that's kinda how trades work.

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:27 (twelve years ago) link

imho in a competitive context such as this one, the mere existence of a better deal, and particularly the speed at which is was found, proves that the other deal was not a good one - like you can be all i paid a hundred and fifty dollars for this dvd player that is a good value, but if its selling for a hundred dollars everywhere else then its not a good deal, also just as far as basketball assets exchanged it was not equitable imo

i do think the veto was fishy, but like ive said it all stems from the fact that the nba owns a team which is just completely insane and really twists the whole concept of the league as a disinterested arbiter, im much happier w/the way things turned out, it wouldve been ridiculous for paul to be traded for a bag of donuts, particularly by a team owned by the league, which just obvs shows what a jackpot stern was in once the original trade was announced

naw the rockets made out like bandits, they must be hating life right now

Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:33 (twelve years ago) link

adande said this btw

"Gordon struggled to defend big guards such as Bryant and Joe Johnson, and even Paul, a good defender, wouldn't be much help there. Now the Clippers can utilize the newly acquired Chauncey Billups, who's also 6-3 but much stronger than Gordon."

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:48 (twelve years ago) link

chauncey billups: lockdown 2 guard.

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:48 (twelve years ago) link

Jordan, Dumars, Bowen, Billups.

I just don't see going all in on Pau here. I think they would have remained mediocre.

Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:50 (twelve years ago) link

Pau could rebound I guess but the end of that season was terrifying.
