miss me with that.
The names might look good, but JJ in NJ is going to be an epic failure imo. No JJ iso's with Deron on the squad, he's gonna have to go back to his Suns days and catch and shoot, not sure that's a strong point anymore. And Crash, Brook and Hump might sound nice, but I ironically Hump is the one I trust the most, and that's not a good thing.
Atlanta is finally going to be different tho. Bout damn time. Good luck to them getting Dwight and CP3.

I'm not saying its impossible I just don't see it happening. This entire notion was created by the media literally today. They looked at the FA list next year and all 3 are FA's. This isn't like with the Heat's big 3 where they all planned out being FA together. This just happened. Atl could squeeze all 3 but it just doesn't seem likely. Smith and Howard are tight, but I don't see CP3 really caring. If this was last year then yes, because he was on the hornets that were going nowhere fast.Originally Posted by aztec06jr
Just like LeBron and Bosh weren't going to MIA, right?
The Vinny Del Negro factor. CP3 is gonna say peace out after going through another year with him.
True. Contract is up after the year though, right? If not then he could always get fired if they underperform. CP3 would have to feel that the team the Clippers have built isn't going anywhere, which I would find hard to believe given they have some good pieces in place. I do think a better coach could take them farther but I don't think thats enough to get CP3 to bounce to an ATL team thats starting over.
What the hell makes you so sure of that?. If the clippers get knocked out in the 2nd round again next year, and Dwight winds up in Atlanta, you'd gotta think he'd be very intrigued by the possibility of joining forces with those 2
Intrigued? Of course. I'm not positive, just going with gut feeling. Smith wanted out, ok now hes back in. Dwight doesn't know what the heck he wants. CP3? He was just thrown in this story for headlines. Theres been no indication that CP3 will want to leave to goto ATL and team up with other superstars. This is implying he doesn't think the Clippers and Griffin are good enough. The only reason he didn't sign the extension is he'll make more money not extending now and becoming a FA.
Its very likely they get bounced in 2nd round, or 1st, or WCF. Will that be enough to get CP3 to start over again? Maybe he thinks the west is too strong. Maybe going to the east to battle the Heat is somehow easier, even though ATL won't be able to sign anyone if they have those 3. It'll take ATL 2 years to be able to build a team that can compete with the heat in terms of depth. I'm not saying the Clippers can win it all, but i think CP3 has a better chance staying than restarting with ATL with 2 other stars.
Honestly though, i'd trade Blake for Dwight if i'm the Clippers but I know damn well thats not happening.

Not everyone can become the Miami Heat y'all. Considering where the Nets were a few months ago this is a big step up if Dwill re-signs.
Of course it's not Dwight but Dwight messed that up for himself. Can't keep waiting around for him. Time to build a team that can at least provide some entertainment value and make the playoffs consistently. Joe Johnson is hated because of his contract, but strictly basketball wise I think it's a great fit for him. Lopez is no dominant force but he gets you buckets. If Avery can build some defensive principles and values into this core then the Nets will be a solid 4-5 seed this upcoming season. Again its not a title but realistically how many real title contenders are there in 2012? (Heat and Thunder, thats about it).

Nah, he's only being asked to be the 2nd option if DWill resigns. When critiquing the deal, DWill shouldn't even necessarily be in mind but even if he is looking at it from his perspective I don't see why he'd be smiling from ear to ear about it.
Son is gonna basically dedicate the prime of his career to a squad that barely has a fighting chance and little to no flexibility to change that.
