I say a package of Jose, Evans (expiring), Banks (expiring) and DD could put us in the playing field to get CP3. Hell I would even throw in our first round draft pick (if we dont make playoffs that is) for the following line up:
Paul/JJ
Weems/Belli
Turk/
Bosh/
Bargs/
plus we have some money to spend in the offseason with Wrong, Amir, and Rasho coming off the books. I know we may not have great depth, but if we make playoffs and tighten the rotation to 8-9 players, our team can definitely make some loud noise.
Remember Paul would make everyone on the roster much better, thats why I think Weems could start with Paul by his side. If Weems plays tough defense and hustles, he should be fine with CP3.
You Sir, have to get off the crack. You think offering an extremely overpaid PG (negative value), expirings, and a raw rookie will net you the BEST POINT GUARD ON THE PLANET? You might as well try to get Lebron for Turkoglu...
raptor fans come up with the dumbest (most unrealistic) trades, seriously
Ok bro, first of all, NO is paying more than $16 M for their PG position next year. By taking Caldy, they are only spending something around $11 M. Secondly, Derozan has alot of upside, but more importantly, his contract is very low for the next 3 years. Thirdly, NO gets to look forward to $9 M in expirings. These three ideas right here are perfect for a team like NO that wants to get under their taxes. Also if we throw in a first round draft pick, if we miss playoffs, thats a top 15 talent to add to that package. NO will consider it, because if Kwame brown's expiring can net Pau Gasol to the lakers, anything is possible. Maybe you should put down the crack pipe and open up your mind.
