Coming Soon: The Big 3

L.A. Clippers Chris Paul is considered the best point guard in the N.B.A.; for good reason. Since he came on the scene in 2005 from Wake Forrest, he turned the lowly New Orleans Hornets into a title contender while displaying his talents for the world to see. Now with the change in scenery, being traded to L.A. last year; now the team offered him an extension for another 3 years to stay with the team but he rejected. Some say that he did this because he would have more leverage when the season is over for a max deal, but I think it is the total opposite. His heart isn’t with the Clippers. He just wanted to have a change from the Hornets because he didn’t see them winning a title. I think CP3 will end up with the New York Knicks by either the trading deadline or the 2013 free agency.

For the past couple of seasons the whispers have been going around the league and the sports world of the New York Knicks putting together their own Big 3; which includes Paul, Stoudemire and Anthony. With the signing of Tyson Chandler last off-season it put the rumors to bed, but now they are back on. This would be a great addition for the Knicks as they try to attain their first N.B.A. title since 1973. That is a long time without going with a championship, but James Dolan is in a win now mode and he wants to get it done for the organization and shareholders.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this acquisition takes place. Paul was asked on ESPN radio this last week does he think about playing in New York and he said yes, but right now he is focusing on what he is trying to do with the Clippers (ESPN, 2012). That is expected for him to say when you are playing for an organization. You can’t say that you want to play for the other team. Paul would look really bad and be considered as not being loyal.

As Raymond Felton got acquired today in a trade from Portland, he can be a trading chip in acquiring CP3 this coming season with maybe J.R. Smith, cash and some future draft picks. I’m just sooooo glad the Knicks didn’t match the Toronto Raptors offer for “Missing Person” Landry Fields. But if we get Paul, just know people we are getting a special talent that we haven’t had in years with his speed, passing and scoring ability we can go far. I think Paul maybe a player that can take the Knicks to the promise land. Sorry Melo; still love you! Give me your input guys? I would love to hear it.
