☆☆ 2012 NBA Finals ☆☆ The King has been crowned; Heat win 2012 NBA Finals! Bron Finals MVP.

So basically they're screwing the Rockets out of even more good/core players? Brilliant.

The New Orleans Hornets have delivered a reconstructed framework of the three-team blockbuster trade sending Chris Paul trade to the Los Angeles Lakers into the NBA office for approval, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

In the latest details available to Yahoo! Sports, sources say that New Orleans would send the Lakers Paul, and possibly two Hornets free agents – center Jason Smith and Marcus Banks – would be sent to the Lakers in sign-and-trade agreements.

The Rockets would send Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, a 2012 first-round pick and possibly young players or additional picks to the Hornets.

The Lakers would send Lamar Odom to the Hornets, Pau Gasol to the Rockets and league sources say that Los Angeles was pursuing a first-round pick to send to the Hornets.

“It’s in David Stern’s hands now,â€
 
I don't understand that deal for the Rockets. All that for Pau? Just him?

Trade will probably get vetoed under the guise of some team backing out or a player failing a physical cuz it's basically the same damn deal.
 
Why the +$$% are we giving up more young players and or draft picks?! We're getting Pau, not Paul!
This will be completely idiotic on Morey's behalf if he includes P.Pat, chase, lee, Marcus, or Goran.
Give them Haseem, Flynn, J-Hill, or T-Will.

I really feel for Billups. The guy has been a true professional since he got to Denver. Since then, he's been great, but he's been treated like absolute crap. He's been treated like he was like Andre Miller.
 
Trade kind of kills prospects of Howard in LA as well.. No matter what Howard says he is still considering Lakers, and Lakers still want him..


But without a bigger salaried guy like Emeka it is tougher to make up the difference made by Hedo...

Lakers should have pushed for Ariza at least to use as trade for Hedo.
 
I can understand Billups frustrations. But we didn't make the trade for him, we did it for Melo. I thought he would have contributed a lot more than he did for us, and I think adding Chandler will be far more valuable than keeping him. Sorry, it's a business. If you think you're being underappreciated, maybe if you were still the same guy from the championship team you wouldn't be treated as such.

Last I checked he wasn't a basketball wizard with knowledge others lack. The Knicks, the fans, the media, all know what the team is lacking.. spare us the sad tale of Chauncey Billups that he's constructed.

Not true because they would still get the 2 trade exceptions. Those two trade exceptions is what brings hedo's contract back to us...
 
Why do the Rockets have to give up more? My man black had it right. We're getting Pau not Paul. I'm ok if it's bums like Thabeet, Hill. So so on Flynn. Anything else we're getting robbed. Nene definitely waiting for the trade to go through to sign with Houston.
 
The fact is your team snuck you into the Melo trade to up their haul, Chompsy.
Which was stupid, because half the players they got are gone now.
You only gave us about 10 good games out of 30 and got hurt in the playoffs immediately.
Our plan was always for CP3 and not nearly enough that you did in NY made you worth not getting Chandler.

We'd rather have both, if not, than him.
Bye.
 
If Billups play the Knicks in the playoffs, its cut throat, especially if he's on a good enough team. 
 
Please let Chauncey clear waivers and go to the Celtics, I will laugh so hard watching him drop 10 3's on the Knicks opening night

Supposedly we were trying to get Pau, keep Chuck Hayes, sign Nene, and make whatever other moves with the saved money.
Well, Hayes signed with the Kings, so I have no idea what other moves they would try to make. Both Pau & Marc? DeAndre

Jordan & Dalembert??? I think our GM wants us to win 25 games this year *shrugs*

@ Billups acting like he's gonna drop 40 points any time he plays the Knicks..First of all, dude is slow as hell..As a Knicks fan, I greatly appreciated his scoring ability and leadership..But he is too damn slow to be keeping up with the current PGs in the East..Rose and Rondo did work on him any time they played him..That's the last thing you need in the playoffs..Bibby is slow as hell too but he's getting paid a fraction of Billups' bloated contract..If the Heat wanna sign him to their team and add $14mil to their cap, by all means, take him

Trade exceptions are the one thing I don't understand.. I know what they are... But how do they get generated, whats the criteria, and how much will we get in the two exceptions

I will laugh too, because it would be an act of god if Billups manages to do that.
