Which is why their decision to not make the trade is ultra fishy, since the hornets were the big winners in the deal.

lollllllllllllllll

not trading paul means losing him for nothing. The best sixth man in the league, 2 good starters, dragic and a first rounder >>>>>> nothing.

it wasn't as good as the Carmelo deal but it was close.

the vetoing of this trade had nothing to do with the best interests of the Hornets franchise.

fyi they are going to trade paul, and get better than the bag of rancid shit they were offered, srsly look at what you just wrote, the first guy is the 'best sixth man' that doesnt even mean anything, chris paul is a top five player in the nab, had this trade gone through it wouldve been prob the all time most lopsided trade in nba history, w/the rockets somehow getting the good dudes from the lakers while giving up a steaming pile of crap to nola, i mean id be investing their gm right now for kickbacks

matt luv u dawg but you have no idea wtf youre talking abt at all

lol stop it

had this trade gone through it wouldve been prob the all time most lopsided trade in nba history

This is really silly.

i did not read the thread but can someone explain to me why l.a.'s good players were going to houston who were then moving a bunch of dudes and picks no one in their right mind gives a fuck abt to nola, ITS BOGGLING

matt out off all the shit nola was getting where would you rate the best guy, is there even a top 30 player in there, for the best point guard in the game, you have to be fucking joking

"Good players"

Dude Houston was just getting Gasol.

one player

that is the best non paul player in the trade, the only guy w/any real value just fyi

the hornets were clearly taking the nuggets approach of gathering a bunch of very good players

yeah but did you not realize houston wasn't getting Odom?

xp

its like: paul >> gasol >>>>>>>>>>> who gives fuck

I like that this is what's occupying neuilx@ 330 ET

i'd rather have scola, martin, odom and a first round pick than odom and gasol, which is what NOLA would be looking at

there were zero really good players going to nola, and just obvs paul is like 0x better than melo, AND denver got back better doods

A FIRST ROUND PICK wtf a meaningless term if there ever was one

10x better than melo obvs

i personally could move paul for a better package than nola got by tomorrow guaranteed

A FIRST ROUND PICK wtf a meaningless term if there ever was one

this is called knowing what pick its gonna be, first round is meaningless in the sense that a top 5 pick is very good, a bottom five pick isnt worth the rookie contract, now tell me which that pick is likely to land closer to

AND denver got back better doods

Danilo is a better asset in general (and they got those robusto unprotected FIRST ROUNDERS), so it was a better deal by far. But the players they got aren't better in the short term than Martin and Scola.

Probably smack in between.

in one of the deepest drafts ever, btw.

seriously dawg, you're realllly underrating scola and martin.

like if you think wilson chandler > scola and martin I don't know what to say other than I imagine you didn't watch many rockets games last year.

kevin martin is literally a shit player, worthless, a v efficient scorer and bottom 10% at everything else he suposed to do

scola could be useful if you were on the verge of winning a title and needed a spot filled, p sure nola isnt in that position, hes also 31 y/o

and lets keep in mind chris paul is a top 5 nba player

o rly was that what denver got for a player that v inferior to paul thats not really how i recall it

"i personally could move paul for a better package than nola got by tomorrow guaranteed"

keep hearing this in donald trump's voice

you said they got "better doods"

danilo, mozgov, felton, chandler > odom, scola, martin?

xp

danilo is maybe as good as odom, scola's much better than chandler, martin's better than felton.

you realize paul is on another plane than melo right

yes of course.

also the draft pick is THE KNICKS, injuries barred a guaranteed playoff team, its not worth much, those go for abt $3m on the open market

but denver didn't get better doods, come on man.

injuries barred... when 2 of the 3 best players are Chandler and Stoudemire.
