I'm actually cool with that. CP3 turned Okafor and Chandler into viable centers. He would probably turn Bynum (if healthy) into an allstar and Howard into a god.

Of course I would want CP3/Howard as my first choice, but that would be a great 2nd choice.

after all this crazy stuff, I don't see how we don't at least have a chance of something positive happening to this organization. I'm not sure how much Stern thinks he owes Orlando something for the arena and the all-star game, but Dwight is leaving the all-star games city in the dust and stern could be a hero.

IDK about you guys but I HOPE the plan is to please Dwight no matter what... You don't trade the best player in the league and get better.... KEEP DWIGHT!!!!

I would. You are talking about the starting point and center for the East at the All-Star game

paul needs a positive PR spin now too... I think anyone not a lakers fan probably has a lesser opinion of the guy after refusing to go to camp and trying to leave for a "big market"... come to orlando we can make that go aaway!

To be honest, I think Otis needs a 3rd team to get CP3 just like the Lakers needed a 3rd team. The Lakers will also need a 3rd team for Howard. Gasol/Bynum will not be enough and I have said that since day one.

Seems like Stern wants to dictate more where CP3 goes and less what the Hornets get in return. I don't think Stern is making these decisions because he wants better players than Scola and Martin. Where is Stern's ideal landing spot for CP3? What betters the NBA product if it's not the Lakers?
