Re: RUMORS: Paul to the Magic? PART II
I have a question for you guyz? What happens if we do get Chris Paul who do we get in PF. What happens if we don't? Does Otis say I struck out once and a huge acquisition and does he go full force after PF even if it means to sign and trade for a team..So many questions but none so far answered.

Re: RUMORS: Paul to the Magic? PART II
takes time to facilitate a deal, especially if there were rumbling's of a "3rd team"..
hopefully Bower has "softened" his stance

"I really do like our team, and I think our team has a chance to win," Smith said. "I don't think we need to revamp the system because it's broken because it's not broken. We got beat by a pretty hard team in Boston and we didn't play particularly well."

Re: RUMORS: Paul to the Magic? PART II
After seeing NOLAs GM say "I know exactly what Chris Paul means to New Orleans and I guarantee you I'm aware of EVERYTHING he brings to the court for our team and our Community", I doubt we're getting him.
He was pretty much saying "Im not stupid". This was baseless speculation from "Insiders" looking for a Story, and it worked.

When will you guys ever learn that Ping puts the kiss of death on any possible trade rumors. The guy wears flip-flops at the desk.

Re: RUMORS: Paul to the Magic? PART II
this thread is getting pathetic with all the crying and moaning that nothing has happened yet. it's june 26th, paul is still a byc player and there haven't been any other major moves yet to warrant the immediate trade for chris paul.
everyone needs to relax. the less we know the better. otis is the kind of guy where you will hear nothing about what he's doing and then out of nowhere he makes a big trade.
don't be surprised if this thread completely dies down and all of a sudden a deal goes through.

LOL I have to agree. The guy claims his "Inside Sources" told him Lebron is going to Miami.. Before the playoffs even ended! Cmon the guy is a local geek looking to get views on their channel/site.

Chris Paul is in Paris right now and hasn't made a peep on the matter.

He said New Orleans is always his first choice, but hes all about winning, and he wouldn't want to play on a rebuilding team.

Re: RUMORS: Paul to the Magic? PART II
Otis is pushing Paul, Bower is pushing Collison (wiretap). Otis has leverage with the "back-up" plan with Wasington (taking VC's contract). Also, NOLA's like a fat kid in a candy store when it comes to our $6.9M T(urk)PE while unloading a contract like Posey's..
Also as mentioned, it's JUNE 26th! C'mon, folks.. Atleast wait until Monday, let them consumate some sort of deal over the weekend
