    If only. I guess we will wait and see. I truely do think Paul will be traded mainly because he just is not happy there and Shinn is not going to pay to build around him. Where he gets traded to is another question.

    I agree with you that CP3 will leave NOH. Assuming that the league isn't completely rigged, then I think Portland has as good a chance as anyone.

    Although I have 0% confidence that Chris Paul will end up in a Blazers uniform (ever), who thinks if that happens, that Nate would not last the season as coach?

    Now I really want Paul on the team. Also where so you envision Paul going?

    As I said in this thread, new and improved, I say the Spurs.

    Someone else will get him, it's just a gut feeling. There aren't too many teams that have options, but the Spurs could trade Parker and Blair for him (salary wise) and the Hornets could save the ending salary of Paul.

    Throw in some draft picks, and money, and it's not a horrible trade.

    I agree we have better pieces. The key is find out what Shinn's fondest desire is and making it happen. We have the pieces to get nearly any player not in the top ten and/or untouchable to dangle in front of Shinn. We need a savvy GM to get it done. PA should take Shinn out on the Octopus and find out what he wants.

    Yeah, San Antonio is a big market team.

    36 Greenville-Spartanburg, SC-Asheville, NC-Anderson,SC 865,810 0.754
    37 San Antonio, TX 830,000 0.723
    38 West Palm Beach-Ft. Pierce, FL 776,080 0.676
    39 Harrisburg-Lancaster-Lebanon-York, PA 743,420 0.647
    40 Birmingham (Anniston and Tuscaloosa), AL 742,140 0.646

    Right up there with Birmingham, Alabama.

    So by your (frail) logic, Portland is now a big market team? After all, we've got the Seattle market all to ourselves?

    Thank you, New Orleans, for making Paul Allen look classy again.

    Never been to Texas have you? It's a different country bro. Seattle couldn't give two shits about Portland. Don't mess with Texas. Stars at night. Remember the Alamo etc etc. My great grandfather a Texas Ranger was still alive when I was young and I went to Texas quite a bit. Texas Texas uber alles.

    You should have gone with Miami to make your point. Someone on another site (Blazersedge IIRC) dug up Nielsen ratings showing most of Texas tuned into Spurs finals even if rest of country did not. Maybe I will look that up this weekend. Caring for my kid at the moment.

    I was responding to the fact that Stern has the authority to nix a deal if he wants to, for whatever reason.
    And he does.

    As far as the Heat goes, they had the money to sign Howard as long as Morning signed AFTER they got Howard. The only reason it got screwed up was Morning spilled the beans on a radio show when asked about Howard coming to the Heat.
    I honestly don't know what the difference between that what Haslem did is other then it was a team that had Wade (a player the league is really pushing) as opposed to a team that had Morning (a guy they didn't market all that much).

    On the off chance Portland was able to draft someone the NBA wanted to pimp then they would be able to bring other guys the NBA was marketing.
    The chance of that happening in Portland is pretty small.
    The same chance of that happening in LA or Boston is a great deal larger.

    I said the game was rigged to the whims of a giant marketing machine.
    I never said they were consistent in their actions.

    I would not trade Oden in a package for Paul....

    Any combination outside of Roy & Oden should be on the table.....

    I don't think you have thought this through.

    You are wrong that San Antonio has the juice to deal for Paul.

    Paul woul dmake anyone better on our team than anyone on our team currently does. Chris Paul is a freakin superstar, and Oden has played 1 full season in 3 seasons of play. Paul and 1 of Roy, Aldridge or Oden is better than Roy, Aldridge and Oden together.
