I despise the Lakers. I absolutely love watching Chris Paul play point guard. This is a really tough day. I think I'm going to get drunk.

(Sorry, that was the snarkiest, most bitter tweet I could come up with. I'm so pissed off. Need to stay off Twitter for a while.)

Chris Paul is going to love Los Angeles - this city has the best knee surgeons in the country.

ESPNSteinLine Marc Stein It was not immediately clear, sources said, if three-way trade involving Hornets, Lakers and Rockets is merely snagged or in jeopardy

Oh hohoho HAAAAAAAAAAAA. If that is true I am going to pee myself laughing.

My excitement for the NBA went from 100% to 0% in less than 2 days. I'm wondering if the league is trying to kill off some of the small teams.

 

Edit: Wow! Good for the owners to finally stand up for something, instead allowing the league to manipulate players to the big markets.

Odom, KMartin, LScola, GDragic, + late pick.

 

for CP3....

 

Odom is owed $17 mil/2 seasons

Martin is owed $23 mil/2 seasons

Scola is owed a whopping $39 mil/4 seasons

 

Jack/Dragic

Martin

Belinelli

Scola/Odom

Okafor

 

Someone please explain this before I lose my insanity....

 

And, you guys who are pushing for a trade, you should be careful what you wish for. Or this might happen to us.

 

Edit: just saw the tweets above. But still. Idk, just find this hard to believe. Maybe Demps has other plans. maybe.
