Go after Mayo with the TPE and a 1st rounder. Send Nelson, Redick, Anderson, Hedo, 1st rounder to the Hornets for Paul/Okafor. Sign Clark and Brown to the MLE. Flip Mayo and JRich for Ellis.

PG Paul, Duhon
SG Ellis, Von Wafer
SF Clark, QRich
PF Davis, Okafor
C Howard, Brown

NO needs to get back Young Talent.. Mayo needs to go NOH.. He is the future.

[ehmjay1]

Ryno + Liggins For Capt.Jack... That's 2 guys from D12's list (Capt+Baby)..

Dwight
Baby
Capt.Jack
J.Rich
Jameer

That team is clearly more heart+hustle than last years team

Otis would probably do this in a heart beat considering he is a Golden State product. Only problem is that gives us like 11 guards?

[OrlandoDolfan92]

If Orlando is dealing Dwight to L.A,they better flip Gasol & Bynum for picks and young players

Anderson, Redick and Nelson are all in their 20s and they get a 1st round pick. Plenty of youth as far as I can see.

If we do a trade with the Lakers, I have a feeling that the Lakers will send Gasol to a team who in turn sends us picks, players. We also get Bynum and a couple of 1st rounders from the Lakers too. That IMO is what will go down if we indeed send Howard to the Lakers.

Then do Redick + Hedo For Camby after.

Dwight/Camby
Baby/Clark?/Camby
Capt.Jack/Liggins
J.Rich/Q.Rich
Jameer/Dudu

Clearly better than last years team and is cap friendly..

you know the entire media is trying to get inside scoop on dwight right now, but 0 rumors from our end?

[cb1115]

Calling it a night. I feel pretty confident in saying that Dwight will be a Laker in a matter of days.

[Nemesis21]

We need to get #CP3toORL trending again on Twitter.

Eff that, I'm greedy. If they included a 3rd team to try for Paul, then they can get another team to get us some picks with Gasol and Bynum. If Bynum gets hurt or walks we would at least need a player from the draft.

If you want to know why players play and GMs GM, here you go: Dwight Howard did not want Gilbert Arenas to be waived via amnesty

I'm not sure what else we could hope to happen...

“It’s in David Stern’s hands now,” one source said Saturday. “He’ll decide on the trade.”

I mean, if Demps was running the Hornets, CP3 would be a Laker. Who knows what Stern has up his sleeve?

To Dwight's credit though... some of us were curious to see how Arenas would have performed for the first few parts of the season.. see how he's performing (see if he could add any value back onto himself)... then use the amnesty... even I was curious to see what Arenas had left.. but it was going to be done (amensty on Arenas) regardless

[Idunkonyou2]

I can almost imagine how mad the media would be if Paul ended up in Orlando. All their rumors would basically be hot air and nothing else.

I agree because you still have to pay him. So why not take the wait and approach scenario.. That was dumb 60 mil gone just like that.

[gp123]

it would be bad media storm... and stern would probably retire shortly after.

[chunnyboy]

so... you guys aren't cool with CP3+Bynum as our 1/2 punch supported by Ariza+JRich+Big Baby?

[Nemesis21]

Nope. Rather have D12+CP3
