OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!! Chris paul would make the Magic LEGIT, Dwight howard would become twice as effective on offense, rashard lewis would turn into peja. The basketball fan in me wants this to happen sooo bad!! The Lebron James fan in me is wishing this doesnt happen!!
paul has had injury issues and the hornets have been doing there best to down play them. Collins great play gives them the out they need get rid of paul while he still has great value.
wow....this would be SICK for orlando. cp3 and tyson chandler but now with the dunk man dwight howard would be hella fun to watch!
Its dumping Paul AND Okafor. If a third team can take Okafor, according to the article. The Okafor contract is HEFTY, didnt think it was that bad. Around $13 mil a year the next 4 years
I don't think so either. The only thing I see is that VC's contract is expiring. But the Hornets have to get some serious draft picks, a better player than Jameer Nelson and dump some salary if they give up CP3.
ah yes...forgot about okafor's trainwreck of a contract. i guess we could offer battier, jj, and ariza
How would they take this deal over something like Brooks, Hill and a first rounder (which I would have to think we would offer)
We can beat that deal if we want to. Send them back our expirings, Battier, Jeffries, Andersen, and Hayes, plus throw in Brooks. They get less salary, can probably buy out a couple of those guys and save some more money, and get a budget replacement. Actually we could do this deal without sending Brooks, since they have Colllison. They would probably prefer to get Hill instead of Brooks since they already have a point in Collison. This would allow them to have Collison and Hill as young cheap talent. They could then flip David West for another expiring and draft picks or a young stud. We may be able to get by with sending out Ariza in lieu of Battier. That would be an interesting combination though and would lead to another trade involving Brooks or a sign and trade involving Lowry. CP3/whoever Kevin Martin/Budinger/Taylor Ariza/Budinger Yao/Okafor Scola/Patterson FA?
They would. Shinn literally can't keep the team above water financially. They've been borrowing big dollars the last couple of years and can't pay those contracts. What I'd like to know is where Orlando reroutes Okafor and for what consideration.
