This is such a good trade for the Hornets. Clippers are insane IMO. Paul is clearly a superstar, but is there enough around them to contend for a Championship? I say no shot. They can contend for a playoff spot, but so do 20 other teams. The Hornets potentially got 2 stars out of this. Gordon and the pick. I predict that pick ends up being a top 3 pick.

The Clippers are a lock for the playoffs. They aren't just contending for one. The problem is Paul will probably bolt in two years, probably for the Knicks. The Lakers are in trouble. They were exposed last year, and the one really consistent player is now gone (other than Kobe, of course). Kobe is not the guy he once was either obviously. I hear a lot about Howard, but I don't see him leading a team to a title. He would have to be the second best player, so they better do a trade soon.

We can agree on the bottom line. The Clippers have the much better future as long as they resign Paul. I just dont like how they got that future giving up Gordon and the pick. I think you and I are the ones who have said 10x now how big this draft is going to be. The Clippers had a better future then the Lakers before they pulled the trigger on this trade. It feels like Kobes window is 2 years tops, and thats if they get another star. The Clippers could have let the Lakers give up 3 players for Paul and still have had a competitive team now and a bright future. When I told Chuck 2 weeks ago I dont love Howard he told me hes the best big in the league. He might be the best big in this league with no other bigs, but I have not seen any offensive skill out of the guy yet. I know hes only 26 though and does a lot of other things. I doubt he can ever win a title alone. He needs another superstar to feed him. Last edited by RockHardTen1985 : 12-15-2011 at 11:04 AM.

The Clippers arent competing against the Lakers. The Clippers are trying to get to the playoffs and stop being a joke. They were on their way and the CP3 trade gets them there faster. Dwight Howard is by far the best player at his position. He avg 23 and 14. He is a 3 time defensive player of the year. Last year he added the Tim Duncan bank shot and a little baseline move. Watch a game or two and you will see. The entire superstar thing is bs. "You need 2 superstars to win a title" Uh no you dont. Examples? Dallas Mavs 2011 San Antonio Spurs 2007 Detroit Pistons 2004 Howard needs better players around him to win a title but who doesn't? Look at the Magic teams lately? They were so desperate they traded for a washed up Areanas who had the worst contract in pro sports. Howard is still a poor FT shooter, he always seems to get a stupid foul every game. He still hasnt grasped the concept of blocking the shot to keep possession of the ball. But he aint Kenyon Martin and if you put the proper pieces around him he can be your best player. I'm pretty sure if the Pistons of 2004 had him in his current form as their Center they would have done just fine.
