Thats the team I figured that would of drafted him when he came out of MSU. The Cavs snagged him like 2 picks before the Suns or something along those lines. IMO if he would of got drafted by the Suns hed of been a bigger name and had a more successful career so far, bc their style at the time fit him to the Twildcats20;1007442 wrote:Shannon the Canon will sign with Phoenix tomorrow.

Unless Howard is coming to LA too, I don't like that deal.wildcats20;1007412 wrote:Lakers, Rockets, Hornets in talks supposedly...
Deal would send CP3 to LA, Gasol to Houston and no idea about who NOLA would get..
Lakers are not making the deal unless CP3 signs an extension.Midstate01;1007649 wrote:But what's interesting is yesterday they said no matter where Paul goes, he's opting out of his contract after next season. So he cold be there 1 year then head to ny.
Personally, I'd rather have Odom and Gasol. Gasol didn't have a great postseason last year, but he is a nice big and Odom is a great guy off the bench. I'm not convinced that blowing up the team for Howard and Paul makes them all that much better.Midstate01;1007663 wrote:“@WojYahooNBA: Correction: The proposed deal to the Lakers is Chris Paul for Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom, source says.”
Gasol and Odom both have two fully functional knees though. Paul is a good player, but ever since the injury his reputation has been far better than his play.sleeper;1007746 wrote:That's a bad trade. Gasol and Odom aren't better than CP3 but they are a better fit for the Lakers.
Exactly what I think. Paul is a nice player, but you gotta have bigs. Now, if they can pull a Jedi-mind trick on the Magic and get Howard, they might have somethingchicago510;1007880 wrote:Ok so Lakers have CP3, Kobe, Artest, ?????, Bynum (suspended 5 games) and Fisher off the bench.
Talented? Yes but thin and terrible up front.
If this deal isn't happening. No deal should happen. One of the more fair offers I have heard.lhslep134;1007976 wrote:No more trade, vetoed by the league. Incredible.
It was definitely a fair offer. Lakers get CP3 but give up any insurance they had in case/when Bynum goes down, Rockets got talent, and so did the Hornets.jordo212000;1007985 wrote:One of the more fair offers I have heard.
It actually said Houston would be giving up a 1st round pick as well. They must like Pau a lot more than I do.dave;1007812 wrote:probably a pick or two. this next draft is going to be loaded.
