As much as I hate CPMe for going to L.A., I must admit that a small part of me wanted the Clippers to lose so that:
- The likelihood that he does not re-sign increases; AND
- subsequently, the Pelicans would have a chance, no matter how minute, to sign him...
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
If CP and AD team up togather in NO im moving down and buying season tickets

I'd rather take my chances with Burke and A.D.
Like the edit. Makes more sense

At this point I'd rather see it too.
Agreed.Originally Posted by PelsFan2313
Add in Gordon as a back court mate, and they form the best back court in the NBA. Moreover, if you guys thought CP running the PnP with DWest was beautiful, just imagine him doing it with Ryan Anderson... Ridiculous!
Chicago without Deng tonight, still playing excellent basketball. It seems that no matter which player goes down, they always find a way to remain competitive. Great team.
Great coach!
Yeah, what the hell is Rose complaining about?

Lead is slipping. Deron Williams always contested that he was better than CP3. How about he try and prove it for once.
I absolutely love watching teams that plays well without superstars.
Yeah this is great, great to see Marco playing well.
Nate Robinson is such a low IQ player. He almost single-handedly let Brooklyn back into the game.
Bulls were shooting better all game. The line was their enemy, and they fixed that problem. The Nets never really got closer after that.
How many teams could get to the second round of the playoffs without their best player?
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Don't even get me started on this prima donna little *****. He has teammates getting spinal taps before games, taking off walking boots and trying to warm up and get ready to play, playing through plantar fasciitis, throwing up on the sideline in the middle of a game, all while he's been a full participant in practice for how long, but he's choosing to wear a suit every night. I think he's been a full go in practice for over two months? What a clown this guy is, if you are medically cleared to play and choose not to, you shouldn't be able to receive your pay check. Plus his brother claims he has a 90% chance of playing against the Heat in the 2nd round if the Bulls advance? Please, he fits in perfectly with today's generation. They are all a bunch of whiny, over paid *****es, who are scared of competition.
/RANT
We almost had that guy.
Nice rant! I also don't like the way he has handled all this injury stuff. I have lost a lot of respect for Rose.
In what lifetime?
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
It was between us and the Bulls if I'm not mistaken.

Damn you Doc. We should cut his kid asap. lol“He had two jobs,” said Rivers, whose Celtics play the Bulls on Thursday night at the United Center. “You can ask him. He was leaning toward one, and I grabbed him by the shoulders and said, ‘Are you kidding me?’ You get a chance to coach Derrick Rose, and you’re *going to take another job? Are you nuts? We laugh about it now.

Hornets offered first, but then the Bulls offered and he took that job.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Yeah if was here with a CP3 who was looking to leave, or Rose who hadn't entered his prime.
Go back and find the threads from back then, and you will see only have us a pitty interview.
There's more to it than that. Bower was still GM of that team(on his way out) and the team was going through an owner change(eventually to the NBA). With no stability within the organization, there was no chance Thibodeau would consider the Hornets with a much more attractive option in Chicago on the table. You're right, it wasn't even close.

Pretty sure Thibs took less $$$ to go to the Bulls, can't remember where I read that though so no link
Pondexter is developing into a nice player for the Grizzlies. He's given them valuable play in the playoffs. His role has expanded and he's turning into a nice defensive player.
