I really thaought when I read that on the BE, that there would be at least a second rounder thrown in, with out the garenteed contract and all. but think of it this way, your owner has gone on record saying that he would not give max money to anyone, granted this was before cp’s emergence as the greatest thing since sliced bread, but still, he is kinda,...well he seams a little… um… cheap? this way he saves money not having to pay a rooky a garenteed 1rst round contract, plus gat some cash back, thats a spread of like 3 to 5 mil? anyways, someone close to him will likely point out that that will go a long way in sofening the impending blow on his wallet when Pauls contract matures, and every team in the league( expecially the Blazers) are taking a crack at him. This allmost make me regrett getting the pick, cause we didnt pay your owner, we just gave Paul some money.

for the Hornets!!! I can’t believe he will not be in teal next year. He was going to be groomed to be the starting sg and a complementary scorer. I guess atthehive’s draft analysis is essentially moot. I kinda feel sorry for atthehive.
