More good news about CP3

Sam Amick of Sports Illustrated added this, casting further doubt the Knicks can realistically pull off a trade for Paul: "Sources who recently talked to New York and New Orleans were left with two strong impressions: Knicks have almost no confidence they'll get CP3 via trade and the Hornets sound resigned to the fact that they will have to trade him somewhere."

Pffft, that's pretty dynamite

I’m losing track… How much interest has CP3 expressed in the Clips?

Interest

SilverClip raises a very good point here. Everyone is talking about what the teams want or do not want but nothing has been said as far as I can see about where Paul wants to go.

CP3's agent requested a trade to the Knicks...

but according to Chris Broussard, Paul also mentioned the Clippers as a team he would sign an extension with. And the Knicks really don’t have the pieces to pull off a trade, so unless someone else steps in with a better offer, the Clippers might be CP3’s only option.

Thanks for that reminder. I’d forgotten about it.

Broussard

Too bad we don’t really believe Broussard. If Paul will/would sign an extension with the Clippers, then LAC is in the driver’s seat, right? Why do I not believe that?

It doesn't look like anyone's in the driver's seat right now.

The Knicks certainly aren’t. My guess is the Hornets are trying to delay the bad news as long as possible.

i always thought CP3 was dirty

If u go back and look at that game when Kaman got hurt, U can see CP3 put his foot right where Kaman was about to put his. To me it looked intentionall and he is that crafty to get away with it. With that being said u gotta love his desire to win and I’m down with him if comes here but he’s the enemy if he doesn’t. I wouldn’t mind if he did that to Kobe tho…

Paul dirty

I wrote a post about him a couple years back… I’m kind of convinced that most any player that is really good has a nasty streak in him. Paul’s is clearly one of the nastiest.

Derek Fisher would give cp3 a run for his money then

Scola, Kaman, many others. None of course are below the belt, but still he can get pretty nasty too, but Laker fans simply dismiss it as “veteran respect” or “competitive fire”

dirty vs smart

Sam I Am was as dirty as they come…but we loved him

all in all…everyone tries to do their best to win. and some times that involves doing something sneaky that the refs dont see….its the game within the game

i for one would not complain if we won a close decisive playoff game but after review the media saw that CP3 actually grabbed the opponent by the hand and not the ball on the game saving steal…would u?
