    If I remember correctly he just sold the team, and the new owner has money to spend.

    New Orleans is getting robbed blind in this deal. Almost as bad as the Gasol deal. Almost.

    Paul and Howard would become Kobe/Shaq.

    Morey needs to get on the phones. We give them our picks, take Okafur's contract ourselves(Okufur could play a lot while we rest Yao during the regular season), and give them their choice of Hill/CBud/Brooks + expiring fillers.

    Anybody else get the feeling that Rockets aren't really gonna get anything this summer? The Rockets could probably offer a better deal but I get the feeling that Chris Paul wouldn't want to come here, I mean the Magic are contenders. Didn't he say earlier that he wants to win?

    I hope this isn't true, because Howard with Paul (if healthy) and a shooter like Lewis....they may never lose. CP3 is the perfect PG to play alongside Dwight.

    Brooks + Martin + Hill + picks + Jefferies (expirings) = ???

    How can we not trump that offer by miles and miles? :confused:

    Okafor would actually be decent as a Yao backup... :confused:

    Not getting this. AT ALL.

    Not buying it, but if you pair a top 2 center with a top 2 point guard you have something pretty scary to build on.

    I'm with you. I'd be floored if this actually happened...

    Does he have a no-trade clause I'm not aware of? T-Mac could dictate the terms when he jettisoned, because he had only one year left on his deal. But CP3 has THREE years left.

    CP3's knee must be in bad shape, if this is true.

    And the Hornets believe the best they can do is Vince Carter and Jameer Nelson?

    Paul, although injured for most of last season, is easily top 5 PG in the league still.

    smh at NO, if they trade for a washed up POS in Carter, and a shooting PG when they already have a great one in Collison.

    smh.

    Oh, i get it. CP gets Dwight, Lebron gets Bosh, and Wade gets Amare? And then let JJ play with Boozer in NY and we have a fun new league. YAY! :rolleyes:
