I can't believe how blatantly rigged the NBA is. A team that the NBA RUNS. A Team that is LITERALLY f**kING RUN BY THE NBA is trading a top 3 NBA player in Chris Paul for Houston's crap and Lamar Odom.

I am done with the NBA..... Nothing has changed
Something is fishy when the Lakers always seem to get everybody
The league just keeps gifting them stars

Man, if the Lakers can't land Howard, that's going to leave them pretty soft in the middle if/when Bynum goes down with an inevitable injury.

f**k ALL THESE "SUPERSTAR" TEAMS.
Bunch of p***y players. I miss the days where everyone actually loved the competition. If the Dubs don't make the playoffs, I hope the Bulls win it all.

Point guards don't win championships. Big men do. The Suns would have won one in the last 20 years if elite PG's led teams to the championship title.

Which is why the Lakers will regret this if they don't also get Dwight Howard.
However, it is looking likely that they get both Paul and Howard according to a number of sources.

Yeah they still have Bynum which is who the Magic want im sure David Stern will force another team to cooperate with the trade and throw in some more players to make it work
