Well we have even more to cover thanks to teh NBA yesterday. Chris Paul is traded to the Los Angeles Lakers for Mr Khloe Kardashian and Pau Gasol...OH WAIT Pappa Stern said No...Oh wait someone didnt remeber the Hornets are owned by the league...AND Dan Gilbert is ANGRY again..AAAND this is fresh off a lockout that could bury the league...GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
Here we go! Topic 2...What is the NBA going to do to shoot themselves..not a plaxico reference...in the foot next?
Chris Paul wants out of New Orleans and the Lakers, Celtics and Knicks want him. Dwight Howard wants out of Orlando and the NJ Nets, Lakers and Bulls want him, but becasue the owners realized that teh reason for teh lockout was never actually resolved, they are now gonna play tough guys and block these trades.
The Chris Paul trade was actually fair to all teams involved. Houston was getting Gasol to replace recently retired Yao Ming, the hornets got a ton back to re-build with and a side show piece in Lamar Kardashian. Is it really that enraging (apparently is to Dan Gilbert, and by the way is there a bigger child than him owning a pro frachise right now?) that the Lakers traded for a point guard after they failed to get to the Finals? The answer is no...Pappa Stern stated they wanted to end this players deciding where they wanted to go phenomenon, which oh by the way was what was the start of the lockout. How come he didnt stop the incomprable Shane Battier from "choosing" the Heat..they already have LBJ, D-wade and Chris 3rd wheel Bosh. Its because the Lakers are a large market team and Kobe is THE star. The owners F-ed up the negotiations they started in the first place and now they are realizing they gave in too much..BOOHOO fellas!
Dwight Howards deal can not happen now. Even though the Nets have offered an incredibly fair deal (I love how the NBA teams treat 1st rd picks like halloween candy and the NFL treats them like Gold bars) it cannot happen because Dwight said he wants to go there. Pappa Stern has set and ugly precedent that he must uphold.
The Lockout has all but destroyed the league and now this is just the crap flavored icing on top of the garbage flavored cake for the NBA. Rising stars like Derek Rose, Blake Griffin and Kevin Durant will have a hard time growing their legacy when the league cant get out of its own way.
What do you think about the NBA fiasco? Lets here it....

I would typically agree with you gut the new age of young talent can actualky play. This isn't the Allen iverson NBA with no talent. I dont believe kobe and shaq win multiple titles in this nba. There is actually as much potential star talent now as the late 80's early 90's.
