PG: Nelson, Duhon

SG:JR,Redick, Vafer,Liggins, Hughes, Pruitt

SF:Hedo, QR,

PF:Anderson, BBD,Harper,(Earl Clark)

C: DH, Orton

Looking at this roster, one would think that some of these players will be moved before Christmas right?

Stern is asking to much but maybe he is looking to move him out of the west idk at this point.

Fire him and make Dwight happy.

or

We prevent the terrible trade he makes for Dwight.

+ 1. Initially, I would support keeping otis until Dwight is traded, but now I'm afraid otis might bring back trashes for him. Let another GM have a chance to build the team in his/her vision.

The Hornets-Clippers deal for Chris Paul has died, league source tells Y! Sports.

We gotta get in the mix here somehow. The Hornets have got to be realizing by now that no one is going to pay their asking price for CP3, and that's the 2nd team off of his preferred list.

And old Davey can really help the league and one of his top stars out by sending him some help. They're talking about how they want to get away from the bias against small market teams, well here you go.

This if the clips cant make a deal no way we can...

We are the last team left on his preferred list. If stern did not like the deal from the clippers I can't see him taking anything we have. The only thing I can hope for is that stern is trying to reward a small market team.

Gen Board will be fun on that Clippers news. So i wonder if Paul will go ahead with his litigation.

He won't win the case....I would of understood if the NBA blocked the trade when he was a Free Agent but he's STILL under contract...Great chance he would lose the case

If the lakers are out of the CP3 race, the clippers are out NYC is not an option then where the heck can he go?

Not sure he has any real legal footing. Also not sure how willing the nba players union would be willing to have another public battle like the lockout.

i think gsw are up next, after them, houston, boston, and then maybe us. still dont expect him here

For the guys that want Otis gone...do we really have to fire him? Remember he wears two hats why doesn't someone just relieve him of GM duties and he can just be whatever other title he has

I wouldn't even let him shoot the t-shirt cannon.

If Stern vetoed what the Clippers and Lakers/Houston offered, and then CP3 ends up in Orlando, there will be uproar. We can't match either of those deals.

If a miracle occurs and it happens, no Magic fan can ever again complain about any sort of lopsided trade.
