Aminu/Bledsoe/Kaman/1st round pick for CP3 ... LOL

That's what I said is normal for the Hornets to get in such a situation:
--- Quote ---Normally, when you give up a franchise player, you get back promising talent, high 1st round draft picks, cash, and fairly paid young players along with expiring contracts of serviceable veterans.
--- End quote ---
The pick they get is about as good as it gets, could be a #1 in a nice draft class. Kaman is the expiring contract of a serviceable veteran I was talking about. Then you also have, l like I said, fairly paid young players who don't eat your payroll and don't make you too good to get a nice 2012 pick yourself.
In order to make the Hornets attractive to a new buyer and make them better in 5 years, this deal is way better than the Laker/Rockets one. Of course they end up with less wins during the coming seasons. But the point is not to build a 40 win team with a high payroll, it's a rebuild process with a low payroll. Not too hard to understand really.
The Watcher:
so NO asked for Aminu/Bledsoe/Kaman/Gordon and 2 first round 2012 picks .. LA seem to have negotiated down to Aminu/Bledsoe/Kaman + the minnesota 1st round pick, not bad, hopefully stern approves this one

I get it ... but this should have made it clear from the beginning from the league .... Hornets GM had the power to negotiate trade on his own then Stern suddenly vetoed it...
It was made clear when the Hornets were bought back in December 2010 that an independant GM will take care of the trade not the NBA ... both Lakers and Rockets wouldn't have wasted time knowing otherwise.
Stern should have made it clear to the Hornets GM : We want youth back for CP3 , don't bother working on trades not bringing any young players
Now the vetoed trade has done damages for the Rockets and Lakers .
Even Boston got fucked in the ass on the David West deal

Yeah totally... it's a mess that they leaked this deal to the press and then vetoed it in plain public... they should have told Demps from the very start to lay low and clear potential deals with more important people before making stuff public. In that case Odom would still be playing in LA.
What's even crazier is that Boston got assraped by Larry Bird, LOL...
Crazy how much money centers can make these days... 45 mil for DeAndre Jordan for 4 years is just nuts.... 56 mil/4yrs for Chandler? I'm glad Cuban turned that into Odom before overpaying and kiilling the capspace... Makes me feel better about Haywood's annoying contract. Yes. totally overpaid but that seems to be the normal thing for half-assed centers in the NBA, especially during these times.
wcsoldier:
yeah DeAndre Jordan LOL ... He's a decent defensive anchor and a young athletic big man ... but show me when he's scoring a basket which is not a dunk
