    Numbers don't lie.

    3-7 with Paul

    4-2 without him, including wins over hot teams Phoenix, Milwaukee, and Atlanta

    I'd trade Pendergraph and cash for him, but who would you bring off the bench first? Miller or Paul?

    Or the Hornets are better without Byron Scott

    This argument only works on this board when criticizing Roy and/or Outlaw.

    I'd still package our entire team (not named Greg Oden) for CP3.

    Roy and LMA? That's WAY too much. Roy and some minor talent is the absolute max. CP3 is the only player in the league I would trade Roy for. I can't stand Wade, Kobe or LeBron and Duncan is too old. I just wish Roy would adjust to Oden being dominant. I can't wait for the next game. I wonder if NO would consider Roy + Miller + Blake + Outlaw for Paul.

    I'm pulling my 10 Game Theorem here. 10 games for a team to adjust to major roster moves to be able to definitely see patterns in improvement/downgrade.

    Hmm Pendergraph and cash? I'd be tempted, but I think Pendergraph is going to be pretty good...I'd prefer to trade Mills and cash since Australians are so irritating. I think there is also a salary cap exception related to dealing Australians that would help.

    I would have Miller come off the bench with the second unit...then I'd devise a super top secret THIRD unit that Paul could run just in the 4th quarter if we were losing. Since it would be used so infrequently no one in the league would be able to scheme against this unit...thus, guaranteeing victory!!!

    Bring on the parade!

    I would give Roy with Outlaw and other pieces in a second for Paul. Give me a Paul and Rudy backcourt.

    I like the sound of his name. Do you always ask rhetorical questions?
