Ah pipe dreams, ain’t they grand?

Tyreke could end up being much better than CP3.

But that’s me. Nawlinz wouldn’t just take Tyreke & Kenny anyway. Plus CP3 is also BYC and that complicates things.

Leaves us with serious lack of height.

C – Fesenko
PF – JT
SF – Casspi
SC – Martin
PG – CP3

Bench of Beno, Cisco, Donte’, Posey and May + Draft pick from Utah (a big man) Lots of shooting/ball handling off the bench but still small.

maybe/probably a playoff team if Fesenko can stay on the floor but how close to a contender? I guess that depends on Casspi, Donte’ and the pick. If we were really able to squeeze the NY pick out of Utah (very doubtful) then its a winning future formula and all worries about wasting Martin’s prime are gone.

The Kings have never had a top 5 player on their team. Chris Paul IS a top 5 player. Which is why I think New Orleans doesn’t trade him. Ever. They’re struggling financially now. Take away Paul, nobody will want to watch.

(still not sellouts) = 900,000 more sold seats over the last 30 home games x conservatively $50/seat. Thats = $45 million in sales.

but once again – just talking

Have you seen the empty gyms in the highlight reels? The Maloofs ain’t going that route again.

In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Martin go in a salary dump next summer. Quite frankly, it wouldn’t be that hard to rationalize if they keep playing well without him.

but losing 30 million is a lot.

I wasn’t aware it was nearly that much. Thanks for the info.

Uncertainty. We give up our #4 pick ROY, our only Center, a possible top 5 pick in next years draft and make this team as bad as the team CP3 is playing with now. And, he can’t win in NO or fill the arena there. How is he going to do it here.

Didn’t we just go through the we need a playmaking PG to make us a winner, discussion. Only to have people happy we got Evans. Now, we’re going to start it all over with Paul.

Didn’t Evans just play a great game against Paul? Tyreke , Martin, JT , a top center in the draft, and a FA SF with our $13M cap space, makes us a better team then Paul, Martin, JT , no center, and FA SF.

If we are going to try and trade for a big name, my pick would be Chris Bosch.

For rational thinking.

Chris Paul is only 24, and I think he’s going into the HOF down the road. I love Tyreke, but that is a high bar to hurdle.

Tyreke will be a superstar who will take control of games in the future. He’s already affected the games in a big way that Sacramento has already won. Saying CP3 is a proven Superstar is stating the obvious. He’s a superstar alright but he can get posted up and dominated by bigger and stronger point guards (ie. Deron and Billups – also see Denver owning the Hornets from last year’s playoffs). We know there aren’t too many cats at Tyreke’s position that can give him the same trouble.

I wouldn’t trade Evans for CP3 at all. Evans has the potential to be a ‘Wade’, a ‘Kobe’ and most of all, a damn great Tyreke Evans. Give Tyreke a nice big man that can handle his own in the paint and Tyreke will take you further than Paul ever took the Hornets. Trust me.

and locked into bleeding $ for at least this season and next

they would need a quality PG to replace CP3.

Paul, Posey, Stojakovic, Hilton
for
Shaq, Williams, West and Hickson,

Don’t tell me every other roster was just as talentless. Jason Kidd couldn’t have been the only difference that put NJ over the top in the East. Feel free to research the rosters to prove your point. Seriously, give coaches the respect they deserve. Coaches make the difference in this league. Other coaches have had their shot with MJ, Kobe and Shaq and only a few made it work.

You’re not going to change my opinion, man. Dude got shafted then and now. Research away, Doc.

Something had to change. And I am seriously amazed Kings fans would not be willing to trade Evans for Paul. Best case scenario, and I mean very best case scenario, Evans is as big of a factor in this league as Paul.

and then he wears off his players. This keeps coming from too many people so there has to be some validity to it. The guy is one of those coaches that pushes the team so hard that players just stop responding after a while.

I’m not saying he deserved to be fired ( I blame the front office equally) but as Pookey said there was litte else the org could do to shake things.

We are still getting the guy. Somehow we’ll get a top 3 pick too. We’re well rounded. We can do anything and everything. Anything is possssiiibbbbllllleeeeeee!!!!!!!!! (Ask KG)

There would be no illegitimate children though
oh – wait. . . . .

I’ve written many better things. I just don’t remember what at the moment.
