I can say that LAL trading Odom to Dallas takes them out of any Dwight trade conversation. OKC is now the favorite in the West.

Rudolph has been a complete epic fail at every turn so far.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

I keep thinking Otis is going to ask for too much and while these teams are scrambling to get their trades offers together, he is doing backdoor deals for Paul/Okafor/Ariza.

Make it happen Otis!


Chris Paul
J Rich
Q/Sign someone with the mid level
Okafor
Dwight


If he pulls this off he needs to change his name legally to GOATis


This at least deserves a requote for GOATis

RT @ESPNChrisPalmer: Clippers are now primed to make a move for Chris Paul. But it will cost them Eric Gordon.

I love how they're shock the "reconfigured" deal was turned down again (and it was regardless of what LA says) when it's the same dang trade they tried the first time with some extra scrubs and pieces in there.

Anything could happen. We get a deal and trade him to a team he won't resign with and then he decides we are good enough and comes back. We "forgive" him and take him back. That would make history for real.

We can mess up alot of people's plans. Lakeshow, CP3 and his cronies, NJ too. This is going to be fun to watch.

It is amazing how the Hornets will take role players from the Rockets/Lakers, but won't move an inch with out a up and coming young stud guard in Gordon/high pick from the Clippers.

You see this and know that the NBA is corrupt.
