David Stern & NBA Royally Mishandled Chris Paul Trade | Laker Nation



Yeah, Odom, Scola, and Martin for the best point guard in the game in a superstar driven league. Man the Hornets should jump on that trade as soon as possible. Especially since the desire to trade for Paul will fade fast. Also good for Stern for realizing the importance of small market teams and not just trading Paul so the LA's and New Yorks of the world can continue to collect superstar players.

My only problem with this is that CP3 walks away next season and New Orleans gets nothing in return.

I understand that but like I said they have time to get this trade done. The saddest thing is that Paul is the 6th or 7th Superstar by my count to hold a small/non-traditional market hostage in recent memory (Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Melo, D. Williams, Howard, and Paul). I'm tempted to include Stoudemire but I think that was a case of Phoenix being frugal. Either way guys like Dirk, Duncan, and Durant are to few and far between.

Anyway F the Lakers. They played in 80% and 70% of the finals during the 80's and 2000's respectively. They don't need to start another freaking dynasty.
