    How so? It doesn't seem like New Orleans is entertaining our offers now.

    Don't get why Martin or Scola would be in the proposal(s). Isn't the idea to pair Paul with those two and push for the playoffs?

    Dude

    Funny, how the people that are against the push for CP3 are the ones that post more.

    It will be funny when we sign Chandler...... I am with you larsv8

    It says some combination, so wouldnt be all of that. I could see Lowry, Martin, and Scola going for CP3 though. Maybe something like http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=87hxfq7 ?

    They probably wouldnt want Thabeet though. We could give them Hill instead.

    No damage control by Paul like there was last year....he will be booed in NOLA once he plays there after he is traded.

    It seems as if the NBA is waiting for Paul to be traded first before wheeling and dealing begins.

    Either way, I feel Morey will try and push these trades along with that trade exception. I'm all for it just as long as we can get something that can help this team. Houston doesn't have all the great assets as the Warriors and Clippers, but I do feel like Morey isn't going to shy away from getting into the mix.

    Boston could really use CP3, and it would be a great fit for their team; but I don't see it happening for them. Rondo is a great PG, but he alone isn't enough IMO for NO to make that trade.

    NBA source: Celtics contacted Warriors about Rondo-for-Curry & were turned down. Presumably, Boston wanted to flip Curry to NO for Paul.

    I'm kinda shocked the Warriors wouldn't entertain that idea of Curry for Rondo. Seems like Rondo would be a player that Johnson would like running the team.
