I agree with Showtime. Chris Paul’s “legacy” has barely begun. He has none currently. If his legacy is that he is arguably the best pg in the peague, that’s crap. Well, it’s a great compliment but not a legacy.

And you idiots saying that it’s ok for these players to demend a trade, you guys are morons. If that’s okay, then it’s okay for the Knicks to just void Curry’s contract. The fact is, for every 1 unsatisfied player asking for a trade, there are 3-5 other players who are coasting on their guaranteed money. A contract is a contract. Period. The owners have to abide by them, and so should these fagget-ass players. Whether they like it or not, they signed on the dotted line.

@Celts fan

spot on, agree 100%

everybody would be bitching and whining playing in that Hornets team, their roster,save for West, was horrible.

I was sad but not suprised when they got beat down 60 points by Nuggets.

@Chicagorilla — Nah, a real thief is more interested in money than murder. They wouldn’t shoot somebody if they didn’t feel they had to.

What Lebron, Wade and Bosh did was within the rules of the NBA. CP3 is not doing anything wrong as well for asking to be traded.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to win.

The only thing these superstars need to account for is the financial impact they must absorb. Remember that they have to make sacrifices in their asking salary to put together a championship caliber team. Also, they also run the risk of losing a few bills in endoresment revenue because they obviously have to sacrifice stats to make it all work.

@ Otto count me in that fraction, plus CP3 sorta kinda looks like Erick Sermon lol
@ mo.B.bad u think LeBron gives a damn if he has one less ring than Wade? He’ll be alright with just ONE ring as long as he has one thats all that matters.
@ King THANK YOU!

I’m sure this is going to sound f^ked up, but you think maybe Captin Jacks wife was f^king one of the dudes and thats how they got in the house and got her locked into the bathroom? i mean, a real theif would have shot her, unless he didnt want to hurt her for some reason. Jack better watch his back.

Watching this intra-squad scrimmage and wow, DRose and Durant look great together. Only if Kahn was the GM in OKC, then we’d be able to give them Deng for Durant and a player to be named 10yrs from now. lol

This is why you fail, Dime.

legacies happen – they’re not man-made… stupidity was the “decision.” going to a team that you think can win with YOUR help is not. i’m tired of these guys calling it a business… players and teams try to accomplish one thing: winning for the least amount of money. the business of the game is left to the owners of the teams and execs of the league. i’m a laker fan and for dfish to think he was “mistreated” or to feel “bad” about negotiations between his agent and the team is bullshit! if it was business, dfish would be gone. he was given a sentimental contract and kobe wouldn’t give a shit if he was there or not – the boy just goes out and plays to win. sports “writers” do what is in demand: create stories to make the mundane more interesting or else the kids amongst the fan base wouldn’t read their shit and spend money on jerseys and sneakers that never see the shadow of a basketball unless they’re walking down the aisle in WalMart! Jackson’s hit was “inside.” conducted when they knew he was away and i hope wright just wanted some down time and is alive and well. GO LAKERS – MIAMI will BE A FUCKING BEAST and we’ll see what kind of student D HOWARD really is after his lessons with Hakeem.

@Sporty-J — Younger players are already doing the LeBron/Wade/Bosh thing, and have been doing it for a while. High school recruits become cool with each other on the AAU scene, and often pick their colleges according to where their friends are going. So it’s not really a fallout from the Miami situation. In Dime’s Austin Rivers diary, he was saying he wants to play with Kyrie Irving at Duke, but if Kyrie goes one-and-done that will affect his decision. It’s nothing new. In fact, when “regular” kids are picking their colleges, they often consider where their friends are going. It’s something people do all the time, so I don’t get why we’re bashing pro athletes for doing it when it’s perfectly legal.
