N.O. is considering blowing up the team so why not: Rondo Allen Pruitt 1st rd pick for.. Chris Paul James Posey Mo Peterson 2nd rd pick NBA Trade Machine accepts this trade. In real life, N.O. gets younger, plus a max contract expiring after next season. C's get impact player to build around after KG/PP retire plus much needed bench depth.

I vividly remember Simmons going ballistic when the NBA increased the first round from best of five to best of seven RIGHT BEFORE the Lakers were set to face a tough first round opponent who could have potentially beaten them.

Everyone knew that he wanted to go to L.A., but the Lakers had cap issues in 1995 and may not have been able to pull off the signing. Then, according to Simmons, the NBA suddenly changed some kind of rule that ostensibly made it much easier for Jerry West to move a few salaries out of town to make room for Shaq--something like that. It could be just Simmons trying to tweak Lakers fans, who can't stand him. But I'd LOVE it if this were true, because it would prove my point about Stern's NBA rigging the process for the "big names" and the "big media markets", and the rest of the league be damned :-) Not sure if this is true or not, because I really don’t remember and I’m too lazy to look it up, but Bill Simmons once wrote that the NBA actually changed the free agency rules just prior to Shaq hitting the final year of his Orlando contract.

Rondo would have to be considered close to "untouchable" right now. Allen? I could see that because of his expiring contract, which is a valuable trading chip...but the return would have to be worthwhile, because they'd miss his offense. But then again, this summer may represent the last time in Allen's career that he'll have this much trade value (expiring contract and coming off a "I proved them all wrong" season). I wouldn’t sweat it.

I dislike the Lakers and the Canadiens more than the Yankees because at least if the umpire sucks, he generally sucks for both teams. The Habs have caused more heartbreak for the B's than the Fakers ever will for the C's (there are about a dozen bigger moments in the rivalry than Magic's skyhook at the Garden, most of them involving Russell making someone look stupid) , but I don't see the NHL actively rooting for Montreal.

Really, at least the Yankees don't have the MLB front offices openly rooting for them and assigning friendly umpires to their post-season games whenver they need a big win.
