Odom and Gasol for CP3 isn't fair but Wiggins+Bennet for Love is?

[Nick Young]

WTF?

Pau Gasol and 6th Man of the year Lamar Odom for CP3 is an unfair trade for the entire league and yet Wiggins and Bennet for Kevin Love is a fair trade?

Love = empty stats

Paul = best PG in the league

Oh I guess you haven't heard the news. Let me inform you, hmmmmm!

It's LeBron's League

[J Shuttlesworth]

Agreed, OP





The wolves should definitely be giving more than just KLove for Wiggins/Bennett/first round

[LoneyROY7]

Thank you Devin Stern.

Different commissioner, different rules.
And the league doesn't own the T-wolves or Cavs

[no pun intended]

Cleveland is a small market team.

However you want to slice that veto'd trade of Chris Paul to the Lakers, it's bullshit and it set the franchise back considerably.

No need to dwell on the past though.

[Undisputed]

Kevin Love has to have a strangle hold on the Wolves. My bet is that he is not willing to go anywhere but the Cavs since he's so "thirsty". Let's see if he can get it done. This season will be awesome. It will be hype seeing the Bulls, Heat, and Cavs battle it out in the East. Emotions will run high in the play offs.

Except there is no guarantee Paul would have even resigned with the Lakers after that first year.
Gasol is basically the only star player that has gotten along with Kobe, and that is only because Pau is submissive. Chris Paul would never bow down to Kobe, which is why I personally don't believe they would have worked.

Cavs straight gutted their roster for Love

The last 2 #1 picks in the draft plus another first rounder for someone who never even sniffed the playoffs??!



Imagine a team giving away Anthony Davis, kyrie Irving, and another #1 pick for Chris Bosh

Trust me Cleveland got raped

[KBaller33]

It wasn't right what the league did. The Lakers would still be contenders right now and continue their excellence. Everyone wants to bash the Lakers FO about this free agency period and how they didn't sign anyone, but the veto of this trade really pushed them back.Who knows how history is changed of this went through. Such a shame, and I'm not even a Lakers fan.

No way Dwight leaves if they have CP3. Add Chris Paul to the mix, that's one of the best possible big 3's you can have in the league. No way CP3 leaves the Lakers no better situation for him better than that one.

Still no one is right in this discussion it's all hypothetical.
