    You all realize that David Lee can barely guard a chair right?

    Pryz? Ummmm ... by have do you mean 'on our books' or 'on the court' next year? I'd lean toward the former.

    So did I, but it was SPD's news of the Darko signing that brought it on. Really Minnesota, WTF did your fans ever do to you Kahn!

    I don't get the Lee love at all. But here's hoping he goes to the Suns to replace Amare.

    If I were the L*kers, I would too. He's perfect to play next to K*be and now he won't frustrate them four times a year.

    With what?

    Joel's expiring contract can't be enough for New York.
    If Portland includes Miller then that leaves the team without a Point Guard worth a shit.

    I just don't see Portland being able to put together a package of players New York would even want.

    NY wants cap space next year as well because they believe they can get Melo. Let's play fantasy world for a moment

    What if Portland includes Aldridge in a deal to bring back a PG like Ellis. Then uses players like Rudy and Bayless (KP favorites, not Nate favorites) to land a PF like Carl Landry. Then gives NY the cap relief for next season they want by sending Miller and Joel for Lee

    Comment From Justin Justin: ]
    What can Portland do? Can they get Chris Paul?

    Thursday July 1, 2010 2:01 Justin
    2:02 John Hollinger: No. Best possibility for CP is Orlando because Magic have the huge trade exception that gets hornets under tax and some assets they can put into a trade (Anderson/Gortat/Redick S&T/etc). Also, CP+ Howard works a lot better than CP+another ball-hungry guard.

    N.O. isn't going to trade CP3 based on how he fits with his new team - if they trade him, it will be about what they get in return. I think we have much more to offer than the Magic.

    Frye offered a 5 year, $25 mil deal from the Suns, and he's mulling the offer. Waiting on NYK, CHI superteam info before signing-- Woj

    I am not hot for David Lee.

    I AM hot for Chris Paul.

    Do you propose we obtain Chris Paul without sending much of value out?

    Which lineup do you prefer?

    Miller (for 1 more year)
    Roy
    Batum
    Aldridge
    Oden

    Paul
    Roy
    Batum
    Lee
    Oden

    Oden and Nic.

    ORL's offer included mainly VC and Jameer from earlier reports.
