Wow.......
Chris Paul + Dwight howard is just not fair damn NYK won out. Anytime you get either Lebron, Paul, Howard, or Durant it doesnt matter what you give up you win that trade.
I understand where LAC are coming from with the trade, now they would have four 80+ starters and a lot of assets to move. I don't expect the clippers to be done improving their roster.
Personally I picked the knicks.

Clippers improved overall, but New York received the better player. Plus when you have a top three player at the two hardest positions to fill, center and pg, you automatically win.

Damn I give this one to the Knicks, but it makes both teams better.
Good trade guys ;D

Remember, I am in the West and NY is in the East.
I would have only really considered trading him out of conference.
Before the trade, at PG, I have Chris Paul, Chauncey Billups, Mo Williams, Randy Foye and Eric Beldsoe. I don't think anyone would argue that I have PG's to spare. As a matter of fact, I still do since I got Baron Davis in the deal. What was that someone said about how hard it is to get a quality pg? The PG store is open.
My starting lineup is far and away better than it was before and my bench is deeper as well.
We haven't even addressed the $4 million bad contract I got rid of in the process.
I do understand the idea of Dwight and CP3 together. They have talked about it IRL. Carmello has not been accepted 100% in NY and a change of address in the real world isn't out of the question.
Either way, this is a trade that certainly helps both teams. By the way, that is why we both agreed to it:)

But you did an insane amount of depth.

I think it's funny theirs a poll on who won the trade before the trade committee even voted on it but hopefully it's a good sign
