Interesting Al Jefferson/Chris Paul rumor that effects the Jazz

"NOLA won't be getting anyone as good as CP3 anytime soon. Letting Boozer,Stoudimire & Lee type guys leave franchise wont cripple them like losing a CP3, LeBron or Gr8ness! "

CP3 is an Allstar but not a superstar I don't think. He has potential to be one but hasn't been healthy enough. If I were NO and got a "blow me away deal" for him I would do it.

Just because you think it doesn't mean its true. :P

I would think most people would consider CP3 a superstar. He's one of the most recognizable players in the NBA. People still consider him better than Dwill which is debatable.
 
CP3 will be traded to the Lakers this year for a future first rounder. We're going to let them sign all of their assistant coaches to 10 day contracts, and use that to satisfy the CBA
 
From Hoopshype:

-It really looks like it's going to take more than just a TPE for somebody to secure Al Jefferson, so we can probably put that idea to rest. Although, I'm sure that won't stop some from bashing KOC once Jefferson is moved to another team for assets we simply weren't able to offer.

I don't mean to be rude, but I don't understand how you could misunderstand what you just read so badly. That rumor says that the T-Wolves are "urging" the Mavericks to give them Dampier's expiring [and non-guaranteed] contract...meaning Minnesota is NOT looking for significant assets. It's purely a salary dump. Don't believe me? Research Dampier's contract. Teams want it because they can acquire Damp and then cut him without paying his salary. Trading Jefferson for Damp's contract and "draft considerations" is the very definition of a salary dump.
 
A great player in the NBA. A popular player outside the nba. a marketing tool for the nba. a top player at his position.

Define superstar in your opinion.
 
Again, why does a team with Kobe or Wade or James need a MAX PG on the team. It's a waste of money. But...oh well.
 
Top 10 player consistently for more than 4-5 years. Is Paul Top 10 in the NBA?
Kobe
Gasol
Wade
LeBron
Anthony
DWill
Durant
Howard
Nash
Roy

CP3 is close. He needs to be a little more consistent imo.
 
Has been a little injury prone. Consistently healthy I guess. Not trying to say he is a bad player. I'd put him in the top 15. Not top 10 though.

I'd probably take DWill, Nash & Rose right now over Paul.
 
If you want to say because of Injury, fair enough. But he puts up better numbers and is just as recognizable as those players, if not more so. I'm not saying I'd take CP3 over Dwill but he is a bigger superstar than Dwill,Nash and Rose. IMHO
