I have to agree with you that it is not being fair. It's impossible to be a mind reader. Just like the Orlando deal last year, stuff happens and you are sitting there with damp all over your face. Should they have known Gortat would be matched???

In the same breath should they know that NO is going to do this? If it's better for NO's to wait a year then they wait a year. It's completely their call and arbitrary, I don't see much market read at all for this. The mavs obviously had some inkling that this might happen as they tried the kitchen sink approach earlier but NO's were not buying. Who would know CP3 more than they do and yet they didn't see this coming.

Knowing the market doesn't mean every stock pick is correct.

Jkiddo wasn't going to do anything but spot up 3 anyway. Get the center moving and the 3 moving and you've got something going on. They don't have to be isolation scorers with paul running it.

There's reading the market, and then there's reading minds. When the Hornets tell you "no" over and over and over and you've offered everything you've got, it'd be unreasonable to sit around and insist to yourself that they still might change their mind anytime soon. It's especially unreasonable when you have an asset whose trade value only lasts for so much longer.

You hope (maybe even expect) they change their mind awhile down the road, but it'd be unreasonable under these circumstances to prepare for the contingency that a week or two later they do a complete 180.
What is even more unfair is that even in trading the dampier chip for chandler instead of AlJefferson (who I still like better than chandler) they kept their powder dry on being able to do the deal. I find this criticism unwarranted.

Good stuff and I agree completely. The lack of parity is really going to damage the NBA in the future I expect. Why in the world would anyone pay 250+ per ticket to watch a team make the playoffs with no chance at winning it. It's insane...

It appears that the league with the fewest amount of players is the league with the least amount of parity. The only corresponding scenario is baseball where you can field the best pitching staff and probably get it done. But even then you have to have hitters and fielders.

It's why there is no comparison imo between basketball and football as to which I will be more long-term invested in. I had checked out in the Michael Jordan era, I expect I'll check out in o' about 4 years.

Jet would probably look a lot like Ray Allen. Really good then not so good. 3pt shooters just really cannot be consistently relied upon. You need 'em and if he's wide open he should hit them...but it's a tough way to make a living.

Sometimes I hate being a Mavs fan.
Paul WANTS to play for the NYKnicks and join up with amare/carmelo in two years. That's what he wants.
Secondly he would want to play for the Magic...UNTIL his contract is up and he plays for the knicks with carmelo/amare. Unless he wins a championship or thinks he will there by himself.

It's not where he wants to go, it's where NO want him to go. Since they are losing him they have no interest in sending him where he wants to go...only the receiving team has to worry about that. I'm sure cubes thinks once he's here, he can keep him here. I'm not so sure, but that's got to be his thinking or he doesn't do it.

PS. Maybe he actually does do it to get 2 years of chances before the dirkster is done...I'd probably do it as well.

If Paul doesn't get traded to Dallas I'd almost welcome him being traded to Orlando. It would be so great to see Orlando steal some of the Heat's thunder and emerge as the better Florida team.

What Chris Paul wants and what is likely to happen are two different things. First of all, Carmelo would have to decline a 3-year, $65 million extension offer from the Nuggets. Would he do that and sign a contract with the Knicks under the new CBA for (considerably) less money? I'm really not sure. Another question, which can hardly be answered at the moment due to the new CBA, is whether the Knicks would even have the cap space to sign Carmelo and CP3 to maximum contracts. Bringing together Wade, Bosh and Lebron in Miami was probably easier than doing the same thing with Stoudemire, Carmelo and Paul in New York until 2012. I'm not saying it's impossible, but there are certain barriers they'd have to overcome.

Even if Paul was determined to head to New York, I wouldn't be shocked if he thought that Dallas was the better place to try and win a championship until then. And we don't have much of a chance with our current roster beyond 2012 anyway. Dirk, Marion, Jet, Haywood would all be in their mid-30s in 2013 and Kidd not even here anymore.

the only part of cp3 to the mavs that is far fetched is that were same division rivals...which is bad news.

even without the dust chip, we can offer one of the best packages for cp3.

id prefer not to include butler, but we may have to. it will take at least 2 1st rounders, roddy, several expirings..probably including butler.

every team in the league is gonna offer a solid package for the best point gaurd in the game...i think ours stacks up pretty well...

it doesnt help that our big trade chip in roddy..is a combo gaurd..

and NO's best players are at the PG and SG...

can only be hopeful about this trade idea, the fact that were in the same division really sucks.

Could Chandler, Butler, Stevenson, Beaubois and Barea plus 2011 and 2013 first round draft choices for Paul, Okafor & Posey get this done?

It needs to be grouped as three deals, Chandler-Paul, Butler-Okafor, & Stevenson, Beaubois, Barea-Posey.

You can throw in $3 million or $9 million if the league lets you and Cuban is willing.

Mavericks:

Haywood/Okafor/Mahinni/Ajinca
Dirk/Thomas
Marion/Posey
Kidd/Jones
Paul/Terry

Although you probably always play one of Paul or Kidd at the point. You also probably try to trade Mahinni or Ajinca for a two/three, or sign somebody, to balance the roster.

New Orleans

Chandler/Grey
West/Songalia/Brackins
Butler/Stojakovic/Wright
Thornton/Beaubois/Poindexter/Stevenson
Collison/Barea

Next year, the only player New Orleans has left on a significan contract is West--who's probably worth the money.

If I'm the knicks I do exactly what Riley did. Begin negotiating with paul/camelo through stoudemire. Carmelo would have to sign an agreement that frees him in two years. Between now and then NY begins to cut salary and free up cap room.

The new collective barganing agreement is an unknown. As is a risk by carmelo/paul of career-ending injury but that's what it takes to become a free-agent.

Does anyone know if Amare signed a cap-friendly agreement (like the ones in miami) that allows the two other guys to sign?

With respect to the mavs, I roll the dice, there are only so many more cards(i.e. years) left in the deck.

If both Paul and Carmelo were willing to leave a lot of money on the table, then New York would probably be in a position to sign both of them as free agents in 2012. That said, contrary to the situation in Miami where Bosh, Wade and Lebron signed similar deals starting in the $15 million range, Stoudemire would most likely have a much higher annual salary than Carmelo and CP3 because of the new CBA.

As far as our ambitions in regards to Paul are concerned, I don't think we should let it affect our immediate plans. We would at least have two seasons with him to try and win a championship, and I don't believe that any plans for 2012 are already set in stone.

apparently lebron has advised paul to request the trade..

he also wants paul to request a trade to a team in the west to keep the 'rivalry' going...not sure where hes going with that..

but that could be solid news. im hopeful on this..

but think about it, does NO wanna play paul 4 times a year? (if traded to us) i wouldnt...

The biggest thing we don't have going for us is that we're not in the East. I think that prevents NO from trading cp3 to us.

I always think back to Toronto trading Vince Carter to New Jersey though..

So now NO tanks the next 2 seasons to try and win the lottery and pic up a superstar? Other than that i don't see them as much more then a low tier playoff team.

But im actually kind of glad he is staying cause im sure if we did trade for him we might have gotten rolled for most of our assets. And of course no telling if you give up Roddy and he comes back to haunt you for the next 10 years.

Yea... that means absolutely nothing. They're just trying to be politically correct.

Remember this gem from LeBron? “I got a goal, and it’s a huge goal, and that’s to bring an NBA championship here to Cleveland. And I won’t stop until I get it.”- LeBron James; starting forward for the Miami Heat.

Things could change as soon as February. If we were among the three best teams in the conference and New Orleans only good enough for something like 8th place, Paul would most likely think about trying his luck somewhere else again, e.g. in Dallas. Our expiring contracts are more valuable at that point anyway. That said, New Orleans could certainly try and package Peja/Collison, who are perhaps just as valuable as Butler/Roddy, to bring in an impact player like Iggy to appease CP3. Okafor/West/Iggy/Thornton/CP3 isn't bad at all and maybe even better than the team that beat us two years ago in the playoffs.

I actually liked Fish's last line of the matter....… "but remain in the dark as to where it leads."

honestly im not gonna lose sleep if we dont get cp3...

we got a good shot to land D Will in a few years when hes a FA..

but cp3 wanting to stay and all this positive crap is a smokescreen to me..this was just to let the rumors die down.

i think he wants out still, and management will try to trade him.

FWIW, here's a couple DLord tweets:

Quote:
reports say CP3 and NO are playing PR game while quietly looking for the best deal...a deal now can't include an extension yet for CP3-
Quote:
- which gives CP3 some leverage - team getting him has guar of only 1 yr before free agency if 11-12 season lost to strife over new CBA
The possible lockout next season is an interesting wrinkle. Teams probably won't be willing to unload a boat load of young talent if they can't get an extension from Paul first. Makes his wish list more relevant, I think.

Also makes it more possible that NO has to focus on a salary dump, which gives us something of a chance.

Can Paul and Collison play together? That is why I'd consider trading him if I was NO....not because he demanded it. They're both barely 6 feet. Can't see NO surviving with that at the one, two spots.

Collison's Gone, Now NO needs Beaubois a little more! They don't have a good point after they trade Paul. And they may have to trade him this year, because if there's a lockout and not 2011 season, Paul will be a free agent after this one!!!!!

I think there's a good chance we see some BIGGGGGG trades around the deadline!
