Ric Bucher: Clippers and Hornets have been in extensive talk

[mg]

Of course the Clipps could amnesty Mo which I don't see happening at this point. It wouldn't be a horrible thing to keep him and have the best backup PG in the League and then decide what to do with him in the offseason when he is an expiring contract. I just would try to avoid playing CP3 and Mo on the floor at the same time. It could also be a way to limit CP's minutes during the regular season.

Giving up EJ and the Minny pick is too much. That Minn pick has a good chance to become Drummond or Davis. Also I wonder if there's a way to bring back Ariza instead of Okafor.

I see everyone putting our future picks on trades, but I thought we can't trade any future picks until we know when Boston's gonna get the conditional we owe them, isn't that right?

Im not sure to be honest with you. I think the rule might be you cant trade picks in consecutive years, which is why I included the 2014 pick instead of the 2013 pick.

If the Clippers take on a bad contract I rather it be Trevor Ariza he fills more of a need and complements the team.

yeah I thought so at first, but if we pick on the top 10 this year we'd owe the 2014 one to the Celtics, and if we had included it on the trade we'd owe the same pick to 2 different teams

Paul Open To Trade To Magic, Clippers

While Chris Paul's first choice may be the Knicks, sources say he is also open to being traded to the Magic and Clippers.

Paul can opt out of his contract after the coming season to become a free agent and the Hornets are considering trading him to help in their rebuilding process.

When I saw this last night I was really thinking that this is positive news. I know Paul isn't stupid and he sees the core that this team has.
