no wonder he is this bad . . . but taking him for j-wil . . . . .. tsk tsk

the best overall to describe duhon is his inconsistent on a lot of things. one game his passes well with 10 assist then the next few games youll see 3 to 6 assist even at times 2 . ..

erratic shooting . . . i cant remember a game where he did shoot the lights out but include the ft's,

theres rumors flying around that chris paul will take a min contract and move to the heat when his current deal expires.

sounds crazy to me , but if the guy dont care about the money then his going to get himself a ring or 2 lol

i dont think hes going anywhere.

Im pretty sure the reason he wanted out of NO was because of the rookie Darren Collison who did a great job when Chris Paul went down. Paul didnt want to have to fight for starting minutes, so now that collison is out of NO CP3 will prbably stay.

I highly doubt Darren Collison was a problem in NO, Paul would have liked a capable backup so he wouldn't have to play such heavy minutes all the time you'd think. There's certainly never going to be any fighting for minutes with a player like Chris Paul.
A more likely reason for Chris Paul wanting to leave would be because they sucked and clearly weren't anywhere near winning a championship.

If Okafor lifts his game, everyone stays healthy and they win a few games this season i think Chris Paul will be a happier person. Ariza should be a pretty good fit for them too i think, he can go back to just playing defense and having his shots set up for him like he did with the Lakers.

Agreed, I don't think Paul was concerned about competition from Collison -- I think it has more to do with their lack of winning.

Seems like NYK's still on Carmelo... Do you think he'll be a good reinforcement? The Knicks are doing kind of great this season. Amar'e is a real leader. Won't Carmelo ruin everything?

I think New Jersey seems like the more probable target -- what can the Knicks offer for Melo? And with labor uncertainty, I'm not sure Carmelo wants to risk free agency.

It's more a case of "what will the new CBA look like" than labor uncertainty...
And Melo at NYK? Sheesh... that means that you'd have two guys who are at best defensively limited playing side-by-side.
Melo is NOT a good fit for the Knicks. The Nets are.

Why the Nets more than the Knicks? The Nets don't make me dream... at all!

Well... more than the Knicks.
The Knicks are committed in a direction around Amare, and to get Melo would have to strip themselves of a few pieces that are part of the reason they are doing pretty well thus far this season. Melo ending up at NYK would result in the franchise taking a backward step (I think).
The Nets will build completely around Melo, and don't have to sell the farm to do so. Add to that, they have an owner who'll be prepared to spend (tho' to be fair, historically that's not something Dolan's had a problem doing either).
