Since chris paul is out for atleast 2 months and the team is going to have a slim chance at making the playoffs do you think its possible the hornets move chris paul? I only thought of this because they are such a stingy team they just got underneath the tax threshhold and are worried about signing 10 day contracts that might possibly put them into luxury tax. If we gave up brooks and tmac would we be able to pry cp3? i think we could taking back maybe one bad contract and maybe one of their younger players. yea i know alot of people arent willing to give up on the season because honestly we wouldnt really have a starting pg and they most likely wouldnt give up collison but to get a top 5 pg and possible younger player sure beats the deal with iguodala and the butler deal because those players arent impact players. your thoughts?
I used to hope they might consider it, but they won't, not after their improvements lately. CP3's staying in New Orleans until 2012 and then he'll cash in somewhere (perhaps back in New Orleans) as a free agent.
My thought: There must be a half dozen or more other "Can we possibly get CP3?" threads. But I suppose yours is special.
we have a better shot at landing C-3PO at least he'll be able to blind the opposition with his shiny exterior body and talk trash to teams in hundreds of different languages
Yao is out for the year. We weren't expected to make the playoffs going into the season. Do you think Yao was ever "available"? Then why would you think Paul would be?
As Clutch explained in another thread. New Orleans is now under the luxury tax threshold, and very unlikely to move Paul.
C-3PO? Get real man. C-3PO may have a high basketball IQ, but he has very poor lateral movement. DO NOT WANT!
I missed this post by Clutch. How exactly did NO get under the luxury tax? I thought they still had their albatrosses.

chris paul is their franchise, if they are trading for money they won't trade a once in a decade player who is the anchor of their team unless they are going to somehow get another potential decade player, you trade bad contracts and good players to get under the cap, not the best player you own who carries your team to competitiveness and ticket sales, lebron, kobe, dwayne, melo,dwight all those guys will never be traded unless its for a another superstar or potential superstar, or they demand a trade or something, never for just money because you trade them away and for lnot nother superstar, your going to lsoe a lot of fans and ticket money, ect. mine as well sell the team
