Fam talking about Chris Paul like he is relevant to the conversation.
You can specualate the future all you want with NO, but they still fuckin suck.
Now you take away their main perimeter and interior defenders and now they have to hope AD is the answer on the inside. They need Kaman more than they think so if they resign Kaman and hope Gordon settles for 10 million, they won't be as free as they think.
Washington is a better team even with AD going to NO.
Their main offense is Wall and Blatche with Crawford and Seraphin stepping up. They have two solid defenders coming and a great draft pick.
What dude also failed to touch on is even if Okafor and Ariza opt for the last year, they are expiring contracts. I can't think of not one playoff team that has ever said "we can't use a solid defender on this playoff run"
