There were a lot of bitter people last night. I'm sure the threads are still up somewhere on the 1st or 2nd page.

In general of course Knicks fans are more hated. That has to do with the Clippers being off the radar before now. Most people still think "Clippers aren't going to do anything" so in their mind nothing to hate on.

Trades for young all-star types are the WORST TRADES IMAGINABLE. You get to be less good than you were but not bad enough to rebuild. Those trades are easy to sell (Hey, we traded shaq, but at least we Butler back -- he's a guy who will be top 20 one day) but they do not work...and that Shaq-Caron trade was a great one. Normally you'd only get Caron (young AS) and Grant (rotatin replacement) they also got Odom, becuase Shaq was the best player on the planet, which CP3 is not. Howard is close.
You are better off committing to a full blown suck. If you want to start sucking early, trade your guy for picks and space (see Utah), but I say, enjoy the last year for whatits worth.
I'll take the Cleveland method.
He forces their hand because they know they will lose him for nothing otherwise.
I agree in general in not trading for players that will make your team mediocre but that is not the case here.
Gordon is a great piece but isn't going to keep you in the 8-10 seed spot by himself... he is a good building block.
The Minnesota pick nets you a possible franchise player.

You say it yourself -- he won't keep you in even the 8-10 spot...so then WTF do you need him for? PLUS, you have to show your fans a commitment to wining (blah blah blah) so here is Gordon's extension 4 yrs $48 million on top of Okafor's $10per remaining + resiging West, 5yrs $55-- and now you're maxed out, locked in for a bunch of yrs with your mediocre team. Gordon-West-Oak.

I like getting picks...but I'm NO, I let D.West go and ride CP3 out. I'll have a bad year or 2 but I'll have cap room and picks to do a full on rebuild.
If I feel I NEED to trade CP3, rather then just enjoy his last year, my focus is on shedding Okafor with him. Its NOT about getting a young AS.

CP3 will either sign with the Knicks outright, or the Hornets will get smart and just take Landry Fields and some garbage for him.
