It all depends on the match up if he will be able to get away with it..

I don't have the terms right, but CP3 agreed not to opt out early. So his contract runs until the end of the 2013 season, the Clippers have him for two seasons and then he becomes a free agent. For the other person asking, Eric Bledsoe isn't going to New Orleans.

I guess because they tried that against Memphis and it didn't seem successful. Like mike said, it depends on who they are matched up against. Most of the time they put Cook in with Westbrook, Harden, Durant and Ibaka/Perkins. The only thing Memphis did was put Zbo on Cook because he's no threat to slash to the bucket.
I'm sure most teams would use this strategy rather than have your PF guard him.

I wish one of the other two Hornets fans were around so I felt like I had a reason to make a thread.

Shawne Williams signed a 1 year 4 million dollar deal with Nets.

I cant believe no other teams made a move for Carl Landy. He seems like a Celtics type guy. Lakers could have used him. Nets, Knicks? Just surprised, thought he could be a great 7th or 8th player for a contender.

Don't know why the Lakers haven't looked at him seeing as we gave away the 6th man of the year for Casper the Friendly Ghost+don't have Bynum for the 1st 5 games+Character is out for 4-6 weeks, so we literally have at most 2 bigs to start the season.

Hell if I know. Being the best player on a team, and the prospect of that promising future with two or three lottery picks and a ton of cap space has to be intriguing, right? It's not winning now, but it could be a lot of winning, long-term.

Raises hand
Love, Beasley, Williams, Rubio, JJ, whatever other filler. What if that team improves, and that pick becomes pick #10? Paul for Gordon and the 10th pick, plus freed up cash for Kaman, that's a win? They're going to win 15 games this season, and the NBA thinks it did something here?
I heard a dude on the radio say the pick could be the #1 pick since it's Minny, but no one has looked around and thought, what if Minny doesn't suck as much as usual? Then what?

Maybe since the 2012 draft will be so deep, they feel that it is a win. Two potential top 10 picks probably are more valuable this year than most.

Even if the trade is Eric Gordon for CP3 and the 10th pick that's still better than what most superstars go for.

And let's not act like anyone would be surprised if the Hornets magically ended up with the first pick, no matter what.

Wow, forget my previous post., Shawne Williams took the same deal the Knicks offered, 5 mil for 2 years. He got upset over the Knicks focusing on Jamal Crawford mostly.

I'm sure he did. Going after Crawford was very dumb and you could see this coming from a mile away

To clarify, CP3 has only this year guaranteed in his contract.
The following year is a player option, which I guess has been reported he will opt into.
Now, is that just a verbal agreement on CP3's part or is he locked in for the following year.

I think his decision will rest upon how far the Clippers go in the Playoffs.
