Come on man...
We are all crazy enough for thinking we have a shot at Paul.
Now you are saying how awesome it would be to land Bosh too.
This thread has a purpose because there is actual talk and rumors...not speculation.

That's even better than mine. I like it!

I'd hate to get rid of our third string PG seeing how Jameer is always injured, but I think I'd have to pull the tirgger on this trade.
It's close, but I have to say that'd I'd probably go through with it.

I'd have no problem losing Carter imho. I think Redick would be better for us than VC is if JJ started at SG.
Also, do you think we could get Joe Johnson for VC and Gortat?
Nelson/CJ Watson
Johnson/Redick
Barnes/Pietrus
Lewis/Anderson
Dwight/Filler backup-center
or
Paul/CJ Watson
Redick/Drafted SG
Pietrus/Posey
Lewis/Anderson
Dwight/Gortat
I'd take the second option imho

And I'm just saying it is kind of pointless for me to come on here and say man it would be really cool if we pulled off a S&T for LeBron & Wade...
Very little difference...just pointless speculation.

Yeah I'd have no problem with getting rid of Carter either. I just dont think Nelson is a player that we absolutely have to replace in order to win a championship. We can win with Nelson. I do think Carter IS a player we need to replace if we want to win. So in my eyes we would be getting better at PG but also making an even bigger hole at SG. Maybe try to make a lesser deal involving Gortat, Anderson, Bass for a nice piece or try and trade Carter near the deadline. I just feel trading for a new PG is more of a luxury than a necessity. I think Redick is great but i don't like him as a certified starter. Just my opinion though, I wouldn't put anything past Redick at this point.

I think that could be one of the best parts (other than Chris Paul of course) about the trade...
Any trade we make with NO is not going to leave us thin anywhere.
We ship out a big in Gortat, a guard/forward in Carter, and a PG in Nelson.
We likely get a big in Okafor, a guard/forward in Posey, and a PG in Paul.
The only talent shift is really with Carter/Posey and being one of the people here that would rather see JJ start, I welcome it.
Our only holes remain at backup PG maybe some wing depth. Grab CJ Watson and draft a young wing and then we are set.

I agree with you.
I'm not so sure Okafor wouldn't be able to put up the same #'s as Gortat in the 8-10 MPG he would get with us.
I really don't see that big of a dropoff in backup center between Gortat and Okafor. I don't think we'd lose much at that position.
