Chris Paul

[spectre]

...because none of our picks have panned out and we don't have any picks to trade. We also don't have any salary room...so most likely anything we could offer in a package for CP could easily be beaten by another team.

If we want Paul here it'd most likely have to be in FA where he chooses it.

I was thinking something like Nazzs expiring and TT or Jax
With thair cap the expiring would look good .
I tend to think expirings this year have more value than most players.
Its been a lot of instrest in TT and a QO Same goes for Nazz.
Right now im sure they would give OK50 back in a second for Chandlers expiring.
Not many players are going to get offered max contracts any more . Its only going to be the upper class chosen few and the lower class whitch will be most players.
CP3 is the max type player but hes getting max money now. I don't think NO wants to eat the rest of that contract, now thet they got good cheap point.

Unless its a franchize type player whitch i don't think NO would be offered . Expirings would get this kid . Something like DJ and or Hendo might have to be added .

Thats a lot of salary coming off their books in 2011. Might not be as urgent for them to shop Paul.

I really think it would be a PR disaster to trade a star player like CP, especially in a straight salary dump. I think the only way they trade him is at the deadline of his opt-out year, and only then if it has become clearly obvious that he wants out and the only choice is to trade him or lose him for nothing. Even though Collison is good, he's not CP and if they don't show their fans that they've made every effort to try to keep him they'll lose that fan base forever, and become the Clippers in the process.

The hornets are not trading him and he is under contract until 2012/2013 when he has a player option for 18 mil.

WOW when? I had no idea wow . That does kinda kill the CP3 talk.

Yeah getting CP3 in a trade was bright while he was trying to sell the team and cut salary, but now that the deal is done, we basically have no shot of getting him before he hits FA. Here's the ESPN link buddy

I would give both of my left nuts to get CP3, I would even burn my "Start DJ" coffee mugs and piss on my "Start DJ" snuggie.
