I dont see how'd he would leave.
He has a player option, and he'd be a fool to leave that 10+ mil on the table.
He's to injury prone to even command an MLE.

That trad sounds so bs we all didn't even pay attention to it.
Did Tony Parker really ask for a trade? Or is that just some dumb title by knick fans?

As a loyal Syracuse Orange fan that holds season tickets & watched EVERY game this season...Wes Johnson shouldn't be picked this high UNLESS he improved dramatically since the Butler meltdown. I've said it before, Wes isn't THAT great of a player.Originally Posted by Osh Kosh Bosh

CDR moving to the Bucks is fine.
The pick is low imo but it is what it is.
CDR did that to them with his mouth last year.
Tons of talent but attitude problems.
The nets are smoke screening the wes Johnson pick.
They want to see in Minny really do want him and are trying to get more picks from them.
As JPZ would tell you also, the move will most likely not work unless philly takes favors or cousins since I don't think Minny really does want him.
the Nets taking greg monroe there is true though.
The Nets see three players they could take there at 3.
We all just have to wait till the draft. They are still in money mode for free agency.

yeah i've been following CDR on twitter since he made an account and its safe to say hes a weird dude.. got some issues lol.. but I like him on the Bucks.. i think he'll be one of the better pickups this off season especially for the price.. Nets had a logjam at the 2/3 so CDR had to go... I still think T-Will will be a pretty good player for the Nets

OJ Mayo AND Marc Gasol AND probably a first rounder...for Chris Paul...who the hell is Chris Paul going to pass to if Gay leaves? I know he might be the best point guard in the game but that team without those two/three guys would be worse off than the Hornets. OJ and Gasol can be All-Stars themselves one day. I'd rather keep both of them than trade both for Paul.

Does this change who Milwaukee targets now with that 5th pick? Hard to see them taking a swingman now with C-Magg and CDR in the fold. Maybe they really did promise Larry Sanders.

[h2]Paul's First Choice Remains New Orleans, Open To Trade[/h2]
Jun 23, 2010 8:25 AM EST
Withtrade rumors swirling, Hornets point guard Chris Paul said Wednesdaythat he's open to a trade if the team isn't committed to winning atitle.
"My first choice is to be in New Orleans," Paul told ESPN TheMagazine's Chris Broussard. "I just want to make sure we're committedto winning. If we're not committed to winning and trying to get betterso we can contend with the Lakers, the Celtics and all these other topteams, then I'm open to being traded."
Reports that the other teams were calling the Hornets about Paul surfaced earlier this week.
New Orleans general manager Jeff Bower and new coach Monty Williams have downplayed speculation.
"I'm fine with staying in New Orleans, but I want to make sure we'recommitted to winning," said Paul. "I don't want to rebuild. I want towin now. It's nothing personal against the city. I love that city. Butmy biggest thing is winning."
[h2]Nets Looking For Wesley Johnson/Boozer Combo?[/h2]
Jun 23, 2010 8:30 AM EST
TheNets are believed to have serious interest in taking Syracuse smallforward Wesley Johnson with the third overall pick in Thursday night'sNBA Draft.
New Jersey believes that landing Johnson will help them sign Utah power forward Carlos Boozer as a free agent.
Johnson and Boozer are both represented by agent Rob Pelinka.
Sources told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that if the Nets select Johnson,it'll be a strong indication that they plan to go hard at Boozer oncefree agency begins.

Jun 23, 2010 7:27 AM EST
The76ers are fully expected to take Ohio State's Evan Turner with thesecond overall pick in Thursday night's NBA Draft, but Georgia Tech'sDerrick Favors still believes he's an option.
"I think I do," Favors said when asked if he thinks he has a realistic chance of being the second pick.
"Whatever team I get picked to, I'm just going to go in and workhard. Try to improve my game. Try to help the team improve and justmove on."
The Nets have the third pick and president Rod Thorn expects the 76ers to draft Turner.
"All of the information I have points to that direction," Thorn told the Star-Ledger.

There is rumors that both Shannon Brown and Jordan Farmar are opting out. Farmar saying he wants a bigger role, which makes no sense because he's restricted I hardly doubt another team will offer him a deal. I have no idea why Shannon would opt out
. Going to be interesting what the back court on the bench is going to look like. All they have on the team sign for next year is Morrison, Famar, Luke, and Odom.

Brown wants more $. He's only making like 2.5M I think. With so many teams with cap room, he can most likely net a little bit bigger deal.
For what it's worth, maybe a lot, maybe nothing, Jalen Rose just tweeted according to his research/sources, Lebron ain't coming back to Cle. Chi/LAC/Mia

Farmar opting out doesn't make much sense because I don't see him having an impact on many other teams. As far as Brown opting out, he could get more money somewhere else... If that's his motive Im sure it'll come through.
As for our #3 pick... I think its a little high to be taking Johnson, but if we have a good shot at Boozer, Im for it.
Really liking the Nets being aggressive here.

Farmar isn't opting out.
He's just a restricted free agent looking to get a bigger role.

Maybe he wants to be traded. Maybe sign and trade with another PG who is a free agent
