He goes from wanting $10mill to being offered $2.5? Something tells me Jamal is not going to accept that.
hes goin to NO
Chris_Broussard: Sources close to talks tell ESPN renewed push for CP3 trade to LAC as soon as tuesday
**** man. this is just getting annoying
Chris Paul is a pain in the ass. Biggest crybaby out there haha. I knew he was super pissed when the Miami 3 got together & he couldn't sit at the "popular kids lunch table" with them. Now he wants throw a fit behind closed doors about wanting out of his small market.
Get the hell on CP. The league's general fanbase does not give a damn where you go...just go.

Agree with you, except for the last line. NBA fans care where CP3 lands. And these talks are being aggressively restarted by the NBA because they realize they have run out of options. Unless the Magic decide to attempt to bring CP3 in to get D12 to stay (highly unlikely), there's really nowhere else to turn to. The NBA is ready to the sell the team right now, but they can't until CP3 is gone. No bidder in their right mind would buy a team with a lame duck superstar.
I hope the Clippers trade Eric Gordon to the Hornets that pretty much assures he will be a Pacer next year if that happens. I doubt they do though they have labeled him untouchable in the past and honestly the Clippers are giving to much up if they have to add in Eric and the Twolves pick.
Twolves pick Aminu Bledsoe and Kaman is more than enough and beats any other offer any team can make.
Why/how?
You bring up good general points there. My thing is..
I dunno, whether I'm in minority or majority that thinks we shouldn't care...he is the perfect example of what is wrong in the league. He's got a major backstabber type attitude. He's wanted out on the NO for a few seasons now. I want to like the guy...he just proves again why he doesn't deserve what he wants.
He hasn't accomplished anything of substance (rings, ground breaking success) that should let him command his moves around the league. Just because he won the ROY doesnt make him the top point guard in the league the years following winning that. Rose has accomplished more than him in less time. You wouldnt see him acting like Paul. (Thank God! Lol)
Regardless, I'm done ranting on the subject.
Just jumping in here and seeing if I follow correctly:
Eric Gordon is from Indiana and would like to be a Pacer. If he's not on a winner (say, New Orleans next season) he won't sign an extension and become a FA, able to sign w/ whatever team he wants. Logic would lead you to believe he'd find a way to go to Indy.
But again - just kind of checking in here. That may not be entirely correct.
And you forgot he's won the Vlade Divac "Flopper of the Year" award 5 years running.Chris Paul is a top 3 point guard, no question. If he wants his way out of playing for a NBA-owned franchise, I can't say I totally blame him.
And it's not his ROY award that makes him a top point guard, its having the highest assist average of any active player right now (9.9), leading the league in steals 3 of the last 4 seasons, his 3x NBA all-defense, 3x all-NBA, & his 4 all-star appearances that do. Oh & don't forget, he's a USA Gold Medalist too.
