i could see melo getting moved for paul, but thatd be folly too imho, both rondo+picks and curry would be better - rondo because hes cheaper and u get picks and curry cause he has a vv high ceiling

WojYahooNBA: As SI reports, the Lakers, Hornets and Rockets are engaged in 3-way talks on deal that would send Chris Paul to Lakers.

The Lakers are trying to do a deal for Chris Paul that will allow them to keep Andrew Bymum, front office source says.
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:27 (twelve years ago) link
so, rockets are getting pau, and hornets are getting a bunch of shit from the rockets?
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:28 (twelve years ago) link

― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:30 (twelve years ago) link

― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 19:31 (twelve years ago) link

haha yeah i think you can basically post "breaking: any combination of any number of teams talking about trading or signing any vaguely reasonably available player" right now and and have a 90% chance of it being kinda true
hearing steve kerr talk about it on lol simmons podcast actually made me realize how crazy it is that gms have like ten seconds to read the new cba, figure out what they want (and have) and sign/negotiate/trade/cut etc etc etc

and presti, buford, morey aside your typical gm is probably not THAT much smarter than the ilh brain trust

SpearsNBAYahooMarc J. Spears
Names talked about in CP3 3-way are: CP to Lakers, Gasol to HOU & Kevin Martin & Luis Scola and possible picks to Hornets, source tells Y!

if that deal happens and bynum gets hurt -- as he often does -- LAL are going to really lack size
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:01 (twelve years ago) link
and they've won championships with bynum basically out with injury for the season/playoffs
man wut if kobe and/or cp3 get hurt is prob what will happen, not that i think this trade is real
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:02 (twelve years ago) link
i dunno; i wanted nene and chandle and cp3 and dhoward to sign with us
this all makes me sad. make is stop.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:04 (twelve years ago) link
I have to start watching more pro hoops so I can get this image of Nene Leakes taking the rock to the hole out of my head

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA -- Just spoke to Andy Miller, agent for Chauncey Billups, who describes his client as "irate" over possibility of Knicks using amnesty on him.
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
U MAD?
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
not just mad -- IRATE
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:17 (twelve years ago) link
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA -- More agent Andy Miller on Knicks exposing Billups to amnesty waiver wire: "....unless it's a team he chooses himself. Buyer beware."
heehee, open warfare. WE WANT BILLUPS, TOO!
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
you know, if he gets amnestied AND the heat lose chalmers, you might not be too far off
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:28 (twelve years ago) link
his contract is too large, no?
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:30 (twelve years ago) link
idk how the amnesty works
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:30 (twelve years ago) link
point being the heat will need a point guard
there's a draft system in place, so the top-tier teams can't just pick the cream of the crop of those amnestied. so billups threat is the only way he has any leverage at all (over the NYK or his future team).
― Daniel, Esq., Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:31 (twelve years ago) link
Billups should go back to Detroit. They need a PG, and since they've basically rebuilt the team that was good before Sheed got fat it'd be perfect.

Three likely ways to get Tyson-NY deal done: Amnesty Billups, trade Billups to team w/cap room or trade Billups to DAL in sign-trade for TC
― v-shasty, Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:34 (twelve years ago) link
no one should play for detroit
Why the hell would Dallas want Billups?
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:35 (twelve years ago) link
J Kidd hasn't retired yet has he? They still got Barea?
― pandemic, Thursday, 8 December 2011 20:43 (twelve years ago) link
jjb might be on the way out.
billups has put himself into a corner, too. i imagine he'd be hated in NY if he killed a deal for chandler.
