    Chris Paul's pre-draft measurement was 5'11 3/4.

    No offense to Aaron Brooks but not only is Paul bigger/stronger, there's a reason why he was also a lottery pick and Aaron was not.

    It does not seem that Denver will surrender in the last minute, and the Kings will just let him walk away for nothing?

    Moray, pick up your phone, give them KS, AB, AND some free money and bring Artest home. we could all forgive the Bonzi trade then

    In 50 years of NBA history, we only had Chris Paul, Isiah Thomas, and Allen Iverson. I stand corrected.

    No more Synder, no more Bonzi.

    No way the Rockets make a deal now for Artest now, since they were some of the Rockets biggest chips to use since they were expiring contracts

    I'd imagine that since Snyder, our last expiring deal, just got dealt that we're officially out of the Artest, Mike Miller, Maggette, etc sweepstakes.

    I haven't heard that one yet but turn to espn the are having a trade deadline show

    Billy King said Tracy Mcgrady was supposed to be a 76er when he was in Toronto but some how it got leaked to Steven A.Smith and the Raptors got cold feet and decided not to trade T-mac to the 76ers.

    From Bill Simmons' annual fake trade column:

    http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/blog/index?name=simmons&entryDate=20080220

    Trade 2B: Houston trades Shane Battier, Kirk Snyder and its 2008 No. 1 pick to Sacramento for Ron Artest and a 2008 No. 2 pick.

    Why Sacramento does it: That's a pretty good haul for Artest when he could bolt four months from now -- a valuable supporting guy at a fair price, along with a pick in the low 20s. So what if Battier went to Duke? You can't hold that against him. He didn't know any better when he signed there.

    Why Houston does it: The deal knocks them under the luxury tax and makes the Rockets a little more interesting as a title contender -- they could go small with Artest at the 4 and/or run plays for him at crunch time, and he'd give them a fiestiness and an edge they don't quite have right now. The Rockets seem a little soft to me. I'm not saying it's Battier's fault, but he's the best trade chip for them because of his contract and his pedigree. You could always use Shane Battier on your team. I like this deal for both teams, actually.
