Well, I don't hate Le-bacle, but I just don't think he'll recognize the full gravity of what he's done until he's old and retired and without a championship.

Even more reason to not judge, but question why us as bloggers would consider a trade for Chris Paul, giving up Rondo.

IMO, at this point any trade that gets Chris out of NOH will be just a pitstop, I think - on the way to his eventual destination of either NY or MIA.

The outside influences reference is even more ominous, I think. Why, all of a sudden, would CP3 want out of NOH? Demanding a trade?

That article brought up some good points, but it also seems to be a bit bias if I do say so myself.

I did always think Chris Paul was one of the more upstanding characters in the NBA, but this demanding a trade ridiculousness with 2 years left on his contract is really disappointing. Another super-team would be pretty upsetting for me, but I'm sure David Stern would love it if he ended up in NYC with amare and melo.

I don't see it happening though, the Knicks don't really have much that the Hornets would want.

Enough of my ranting...the article shed alot of light on how Lebron and his marketing agency and "friends" are starting to ruin the game in my opinion, you shouldn't ever have that much influence, as if Lebron's ego isn't big enough.

I like the point he made about how another superteam would change things for Lebron because he counldn't be regarded as the only superstar who fled his team to win some "easy" titles.

Excellent article Master Po TP!  Wojnarowski has been killing it so far this whole off-season is quickly becoming one of my favorite NBA beat writers. 

I am also quickly coming to realization that LeBron James is becoming one of the worst things to ever happen to the NBA.

Nice article...
