Can't say Clippers agreeing didn't cross my mind when I heard Lakers jumping back into the CP3 discussions | ||

Granted, neither is a superstar but it's not like PG was one of their weaknesses. but would you rather paul or billups/mo time share. if you had a chance to sign one of the best PGs ever, you would! that's my opinion anyway | ||

I don't think the step up to CP3 is significant enough for those. They had a strength at SG and relative strength at PG, now they have a high strength at PG and weakness at SG and missing a top pick. That doesn't do it for me. | ||

That doesn't do it for me. fair enough. i would have gone through the trade. who knows, minni might do well with adelamn this year, (maybe ~pick 10) anyway, we'll find out soon enough won't we! i mean, there's also the commercial aspect of the trade, they're going to make a crap loads off tickets/shirt sales, just like when beckham signs with any soccer team. | ||

Those guys play entertaining basketball! And if they're having an off day it's always fun to see a tall person with even longer arms (DeAndre Jordan) ;D Edit: My pick for ROTY has already been crushed before the season has started :\ Bismack Biyombo's team in Spain, Fuenlabrada, will retain his rights and he will not be allowed to play for the Bobcats this season Sucks for Bobcats, I think Biyombo would've been a sick addition to their defense! | ||

I'm speaking for myself, but I assume that other people like me expect him to be a significantly cheaper player, also 7.9 FTA/Game is very valuable. | ||

No one thinks Eric Gordon is close to Chris Paul. Chris Paul is one of the 5 best players in the NBA and will probably end up in the Hall of Fame if his knee can hold on a few more years. But it's an issue of skill set. Whatever David Berri or the awful Wins Produced stat might say, Eric Gordon has the physical endowments and the skill set to become an excellent player. Combined with the fact that he's improved every single season? They're giving up an excellent asset that I don't think they had to. | ||
