Ok Chuck. Where does Paul end up then? When and where?

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.

I was looking over some of the schedules today and there are some things you wouldnt see in a regular season. Like the Sixers opening up with 5 straight road games then playing 1 road game in 3 weeks in Jan. And that game is close by in NY.

Battier to the Heat has to be a positive for them. Butler to Clippers is an under the radar move that may wind up being a big deal in the playoffs (yes I did just say the clips will be in the playoffs)
Golden State will be interesting with Mark Jackson as coach
OKC should be even better
Whatwill happen in Boston?
Can SA make 1 last run?
Jimmer and the dysfunctional Kings (yes Joe because he is white and supposedly PG1985 schooled him in CYO league 12 years ago)
