Seriously? Do you think an NBA operated team is going to take on Amare's contract? This isnt about basketball, it is about money.

I dont know how he doesnt get stuck in NO now. What team is going to deal with NO for Paul not knowing if a. Paul will resign with them or b. risk pissing off core players if the NBA nixes another Paul trade.

If the NBA wont let NO operate like a normal team they should disband them. I'd love to hear what the players association has to say about this.

You mean stuck in NO this year then someone signs him as a free agent, right?

Yeah. Without serious collusion how can a deal be made now? It is a lose/lose for everyone. The Lakers as explained in the above post arent better, NO has a guy who really doesnt want to be there now AND they will wind up getting very little for him, Houston has guys that know they were traded but arent.... I as an NBA junkie would like to see the revamped NO team and would like to see Paul on the lakers because last years Laker team wasnt very much fun to watch and is more or less the same.

How can anyone know? There are a lot of things that can happen. Hell in 3 days the NBA is going to look different with all the signings and trades.

I still thinks he ends up a Laker and so does Howard.

I like the NBA also and while I wasn't really too upset they were locked out...all of this talk has me looking forward to the season.
