Knicks reportedly turn down Rockets' trade offer for Chris Paul

Quote:
The Rockets recently explored trading Chris Paul into New York’s cap space, but the Knicks refused, according to league sources. Trading Paul would have positioned the Rockets to be a Clint Capela or Eric Gordon trade away from freeing up the cap space to sign Jimmy Butler, who league sources say they plan to pursue.

Any “rumored” CP3 trade that doesn’t increase Houston’s chances to win right now should be ignored. The owner is not trying to rebuild. He’s trying to win, especially with the GS injuries opening up the door.

these Summer Workouts with these Scammer Trainers always funny to me because when the season comes around their “clients” don’t do NONE of that trickery bs in real games. It’s all for the IG likes


So he didn’t say anything about Kyrie? Where did all this Kyrie stuff come from?


Our good friend YSong is on that tract.
And all the eyeball emojis today just started people thinking about possibilities. And LKA loves him. No official reports though.

Not all Morey’s fault. CP3 that sneaky devil had the handshake agreement with the previous owner Les Alexander. Then the new one honored it

Remember CP3 opted into his option year to let the Rockets trade for him otherwise they have to gut players to free up cap space

Oh yeah they all too busy crapping on the Lakers

To meet with other FO people that usually stay in L.A.?
Please not the Lakers! That's worse than Kyrie.

Boston, New York and the Clippers are all decent spots for Russell.

I think he would be a good fit but only if the Lakers struck out on other options and obviously weighing the $$.

My first thought was Clippers.

I'm hoping this is Kawhi just being weird and/or working with Lebron to give a big (bleep) you to Woj.



If Kawhi and Uncle Dennis wanted to get back at the media after some of the hit pieces that painted them both in an incredibly unflattering light last year, no better way than to leak "Clippers, Clippers, Clippers" all year so that the Clippers and media Windbags believe it, then pull the rug out from all of them at the end by signing with the Lakers and making the entire hoops media look like idiots.

Most of the media would be pissed at Kawhi and his Uncle, but neither Kawhi nor Uncle Dennis needs the media in the long run the way players who care about the media and their agents do. Kawhi can let his play do the talking and Uncle Dennis has no one else he needs to worry about.

And the Clippers couldn't complain because they'd be admitting to tampering otherwise.


It would be a beautiful sight watching Woj, et al scramble to try to explain it away.

The thoughts of some is that CP3 wouldn't have okayed the trade to Houston without a silent nod from Houston that they would take care of him on his next contract.

If so, Houston could have doublecrossed him and not given the new contract. CP3 might have still been President of the union, so Houston would have been trashed for not keeping their part of the deal.

He’s getting a pass because:

1) The only way to get CP3 to decline his mega extension with the Clippers was to promise him a wink wink contract. You can’t promise and walk away if you plan on signing free agents later.

2) The contract and the CP3 acquisition in general were the teams shot at trying to win. That’s what they should be doing in Harden’s prime.

3) Even if the contract were smaller or they let CP3 walk they wouldn’t have had the $$ to bring a replacement that would give them a better shot at winning. See #2 above.

Gotta shoot your shot....

I would be excited if we signed DLO hear me out, when he got drafted by the Lakers we were a horrible team, last year he tasted real success and he will be teaming up with AD and LeBron and will already know what winning is, sign me up if DLO coming to the Lakers is a possibility.

Exactly. Right now the team is trying to convince Jimmy Butler to opt-in and get traded like CP3 did. Gotta keep your rep intact when you promise players you will take care of them, unless your last name is Ainge.

It's not just LA fans watching this coverage after all, so you gotta consider that too. If it's Lakers vs the field in terms of media coverage then it pays for them to report slightly negatively on the Lakers because it will mollify the rest of the NBA fans.

Imagine if ESPN was ringing with stories reporting that Lakers have a chance (even just a chance) of getting everything they want. (bleep) would become bedlam on the internet. Last time that happened league vetoed our trade. I can see how this type of reporting might actually be favorable to the Lakers in some backwards way.

Media is a f*cking joke though, it's really disappointing.
