Of course, Plan A is keeping Howard and building a winner but we have to be realistic...

It seems he his 90% out the door...

If we can pull off CP3 then we are golden. There isn't anything I wouldn't give up together him. We need to start getting assets...

TPE for Mayo
Hedo for second Rnd pick

Then you can do...

Mayo, JJ, Anderson, Jameer, 2 first Rnd picks and 2 second Rnd picks for CP3/Ariza

IF we HAVE to trade Howard to the Lakers, it has to be this...

Howard/Hedo/DUHON/QRICH for Gasol/Bynum/Caracter/Ebanks plus 2 first Rnd picks

Then we can flip Gasol for whoever we want...Monta/David Lee, KMart/Scola/Dragic, etc

If Lakers want another dynasty, they take back ALL our crap and give us lots of options. IMHO


I like it. If we can get Monta/Lee for Gasol/whatever then we'd have a nice core of Ellis, Richardson, JJ, Lee, Bynum, BBD, and Jameer (?).

I would be crazy hyped if we traded Dwight and Hedo to L.A. for Bynum/Gasol/Caracter/Ebanks and then got involved in a 3 team deal with New Orleans and Houston that somehow landed us CP3.

CP3/Redick/JRich/Anderson/Bynum isnt too bad.
People like to say "Hey, you don't want to swim with sharks"

But I'm faster than sharks, so it's okay.

Chris Paul deal is off and Lamar Odom got traded to Dallas. That's about it.

I would imagine the next week leading up to the preseason game with Miami will be nothing but rumors. Once it came out that Otis is in no hurry to trade Dwight, it sort of put a hold on everything official. That and CP3, things are grinding to a halt around the league.

Green font...

The NBA is running the Hornets... There is NOOOOO possible way we are getting CP3 at this point. Stern/Owners want pretty much equal or more value, which the Magic don't have for Paul.

Sources also tell ESPN that, as @MikeWellsNBA predicted, Pacers and Grizzlies again engaged Josh McRoberts/OJ Mayo talks. This time S-and-T

Pacers gonna be good. Too bad Boston has a ton of cap space now. Would they go after Nene? They're gonna need someone to eventually step in for Garnett.
