Thanks Ammofan!
CP3 wants to play in NY and no where else. Hornets have 2 options: trade him to NY now and get something in return or keep him for the season and get nothing for him after he walks out.
or option c and take 50 cents on the dollar for a 1 season rental to a team that thinks they have a greater than 50% chance at changing his mind. this is what will happen. the knicks have absolutely no trade assets to give to NO.
unless....they absolutely screw amare and offer amare and extreme future picks for cp3 and then try to sign howard in FA next year.
One I got to work (fantasy of course and mind you trade machine has 0 year contracts still up)
CP3 -> Celtics
Diaw + DJ -> NO
Rondo + Big baby -> 'Cats
I think I'd be on that, rondo kicks ass, can spell walker, and davis and TT switching off on 4 and 5 (on court simultaneous) might be fun to watch.
I'd expect Boston 1st and Cats 2nd round to NO... NO first round to Cats (again fantasy but diaw's expiring is nice)
What to do, what to do...
A high loto pick Walker, A 2013 first round pick and a expiring who would start. Plus 5 milion off thir cap right away. Because we under the cap. What more do you think it would take.
Your thoughts of M Williams AND A 2012 first for DJ , Reasons they do it . It saves them tons to get under the cap Thair#1 goal this season.
We do it for a quility s/f Williams is still very much quility . And another 2012 first round pick
Thoughts

Thanks Ammofan!
if cp3 was on the bobcats and we were talking about a trade to salvage something before FA we would absolutely want tyrus or diop's contract gone, a strong or allstar caliber starter (maybe a gerald wallace type player), a lotto pick from the past year or two's draft and 1 or 2 picks (at least a high lotto this year).
cp3 is the best (without argument top 3 pg) in a pg centered league. he has maximum value. more than melo.
If we got rid of DIOP , Used our trade exceptions. Made CHO trades . I think we could get CP3, Have enough left to sign a NANA, TC, DJ, , Use our exceptions DJ and Eddie, To get M Williams and a Atlanta first. And still get in just under Luxery tax.
But would those additions compeate or just be a 8th seed ?
Thanks Ammofan!
