    Do the Clippers hold the cards with his salary?
    Would he earn more with the Clippers than if he decided to go elsewhere and by how much?

    Thanks and sorry for the CP3 dreaming question.

    But this would instantly be an awesome team:

    Paul/Vasquez
    Gordon/Rivers
    2013 pick/Aminu
    Davis/Anderson
    Lopez/Smith
    He would get an extra year on his contract, which could be like 18 million more, I think.

    Davis went 20 and 8 in 28 minutes? Nice. How'd he do his scoring? Put backs, dunks? Or more?

    A bit of everything, including lobs and like 2 20 foot jumpers.

    A bunch of dunks and a couple of impressive jumpshots. I believe I heard Jen Hale said 16 of his 20 came in the paint.

    I didn't hear the broadcast but I heard him on this Gordon post-game interview.

    It helps that he jumped off of Lopez's leg. lol Refs actually called the foul there, which was surprising.

    Haha, he was jumping off Lopez. Kicked him in the chest once, and the refs finally called it. Dude just jumps off of people to get higher, but he doesn't jump THAT high

    Hornets Greivis Vasquez and LeBron James are ONLY two players in NBA to record at least six games of 20 points, 10 assists and five rebs

    I'm not sure if Vasquez is even capable of staying in front of any PG off the dribble.

    I'd like to take a look at CJ McCollum.

    Oh well.
    The problem with this approach is that it uses logic. You need to put your Maloof hat on..

    Cash considerations

    They've been bleeding the Kings dry for years, they're in a huge amount of debt.

    Most Kings fans are livid about the deal, and view it as another Maloof attempt to sell them out, yet again.

    We're a fan-base that can probably empathise with what they're going through.

    This is getting out of hand. I went to Espn forums, Kings forums, and other sports sites and All fans were praising Vasquez. I almost made a thread on this. Most people were calling him a beast, future All-Star, and even Steve Nash lite. I think alot of Hornets fans really. Underate their own players and overate others (Tyreke Evans, Really?)

    I understand the angle on Vasquez that his shortcomings are hard to overcome and that a championship team needs a better starting PG, but calling someone's numbers empty is just... I'm gonna put it nicely and call it ridiculous.

    Yeah, Vasquez's numbers aren't empty. He has shortcomings, and we all understand that, but to discredit some of the work he's doing this year is shortsighted.

    So pretty much since we have 20 wins what GV has done isn't as impressive.

    And GV is a passing PG...

    I just don't even know how to respond to that.

    Re: Game Thread: Kings @ Hornets

    If you want empty stats, go look at Ricky Davis' career. He played for himself and not his team. I don't think this is the case for Vasquez.

    Great all-around win for the home team. We still go into periods where we turn it over or just do something stupid and let a team back in the game QUICKLY. I realize bball is a "game of runs" but the runs we give up are self-inflicted.

    That comes with youth though... they'll learn how to limit those (I hope). great win though. Now we get BK.
