I swear some of you dudes on this site are just looking to make a name for yourselves or your just looking to argue for the sake of arguing. I said he looked healthy, and you took that as me saying hes definitely healthy. Why dont you get my wee wee out your mouth, join a female dating site and get yourself a female. Or you can join a gay dating site, if thats what you prefer. Or find another dude on here to hop on, just leave me alone NEG REP

Nice job not bolding the first part of your post, where you say "For those who have doubt about Pauls health he looked very healthy in the playoffs". So......what are you saying? Seems like you are saying not to worry about his health, because he looked great in the playoffs, but don't worry about his regular season where he didn't look like the same player he was in 08-09.

And nice random personal attacks. Very mature way to handle criticism.

Billups, Carter, Williams, Balkman and Turiaf can be traded if it is up to me + I could trade Brown, but I'm convinced Walsh didn't draft Fields, Rautins, Shumpert, Harrellson and Jordan for no reason. I think he believed at least some of these guys could raise to very valuable players and therefore I wouldn't so easily trade them. But, if any of them will be traded to New Orleans, than bring at least young Ewing back!

You are forgetting that Paul DOES have something to lose...10's of millions of dollars! Check it:



N.O. knows that CP3 does not want to lose $41 million and wait to sign with the Knicks or even $26 million by signing a max deal with another team during next season. The only way CP3 gets the full $99 Million dollar Bird Max deal is if he is traded this year and the team he is traded to re-signs him to a max deal exercising their newly acquired Bird rights for Paul.

Paul would have to come out and say he won't sign with any other team therefore no team will be willing to give up much in the way of assets just to rent him. The problem then becomes does a team trade for him anyway and dare him to leave $26 mil on the table? Or does N.O. hold on to him and dare him to leave $41 million on the table to bolt to the Knicks? That is a high risk game of chicken I don't think anyone wishes to play therefore NY must offer up enough that it outweighs the risk of losing him for nothing. N.O. does have some leverage in this if Paul is at all concerned about $26-$41 million...and of course he or anyone would be concerned!

Ok, so here is the deal on why cp3 is going to force his way out this year...he gets the most money, almost 30 mil more if he signs a max bird right contract. That means no extensions or sign and extend. He needs to land with the team he wishes to play for, let his contract expire next year and re-sign with that team who now holds his Bird rights. He is then able to sign a max deal with an extra year.

with this knowledge, NO has to know he is gone and will want to avoid the Melo-drama so don't be surprised if a trade happens sooner than later.

He's basically sent the message that money isn't his primary concern (although I'm sure it's very important) and that other FO's don't really have a chance to keep him after this year if he happens to have the misfortune of being traded to a team besides the Knicks.

All im sayin is his playoff performance should be taken into consideration. He did look very healthy in the playoffs, more healthy then he looked all season.

I did not go through the whole thread, so my point may have already been made, but this is the way I look at it.

When all is said and done, and his kids are in college and Paul is enjoying retired life...if he leaves 20 mil on the table to come play with Amare and Melo...will he think "Man, I wish I got that 20 million extra to play in New Orleans" or will he think "Man, I got the chance to do something really special and play in New York City with two other great players".

It's easy for me to say "He has 10s of millions, leaving 20 on the table in the long run means nothing", and I know maybe it's shortsighted/biased of me but CP3 has a real shot at a ten year window to play in NYC with two other superstars. Isn't that experience worth $20 million to a guy who will make many many millions on his career? CP3 will never hurt for money, just like LeBron, Wade and Bosh will never hurt for money. They are set, their kids are set, and their grandkids are set. They are here, they made it. And now he has a chance to do something special, and I hope (maybe irrationally) he realizes it.
