What would you give up for Chris Paul?

Darren Collison is playing out of his mind. If I were the Hornets GM, I would shop Chris Paul because of the two, I believe he's the one you could get the most in return.

So what could we give? Aldridge & Rudy? And if we do that, who plays PF? Would you trade Roy for Paul? I'd have to think about it.

What do you think?

 

Travis Deiner

 

Told you this would happen. And ZBO's ending contract would have been great bait to get the deal done for a financially strapped hornets team looking to blow up!

 

Hell no. Travis is untouchable.

 

For Paul?

The only untouchables would be Roy, Batum and Oden.

 

They would want cheap contracts and young talent.

Bayless + Rudy + Batum is probably THEIR starting point. also eat David West in the process.

 

If it was Batum for Paul straight up, sure. But most likely they'd want him thrown into a more substantial deal. To which I say no.

 

Anyone would be on the table, but it all depends. If they want Roy, then Oden and Aldridge and maybe Batum wouldn't be available in addition. If they want Aldridge, I'd definitely be willing to include Batum (and players like Bayless and Fernandez). But then not Oden or Roy.

 

Why not shop Collison? Chris Paul is a really rare player.

 

For starters, the expiring contracts of Andre and Joel..then I'd offer a future 1st, Rudy and Batum (They wouldn't want/need Bayless if they keep Collison) and would take back any bad contracts like James Posey.
If they want Oden, fine, but take away Batum.

PG- Paul,Bayless,Mills
SG- Roy, Bayless,Webster
SF- Webster,Posey,Cunningham
PF- Aldridge,Cunningham
C- Oden,Camby,Pendergraph

or

PG- Paul,Bayless,Mills
SG- Roy,Bayless,Webster
SF- Batum,Posey,Webster
PF- Aldridge,Cunningham
C- Camby,Pendergraph

Use this years first for either a SF or C or sign a vet with the MLE.

I doubt he'll be available, but thats a damn good offer imo and we' be stupid to not go after a legit top 5 player in the league to help Roy out.

 

Roy is the logical choice.

 

dont bother with this thread...if he is available this offseson he is coming to LA....thats of course if we didnt get Lebron

 

I'd trade any one player on our roster for Chris Paul.

And any two that aren't Roy. Aldridge and Rudy? In a heartbeat. Batum and a healthy Oden? That's a tougher sell for me, but yes...Paul is worth it. CP3 is a top 5 player. Roy is maybe top 10 or so. I'd take a bird in hand with KP's solid drafting skills to take whatever we have left over and turn it into a championship contender.

 

In a word? "lots"

 

This ^^^^ I might even consider Roy really...

 

I'd include anyone on the team outside of Batum or Oden.
Yes that includes Roy. . .
In fact, Roy would probably have to be the starting point for the trade to even be considered.

Trade Roy whilst his stock is high. He's too much of a pouter to be a true leader.
Get back Paul, a once a generation PG. Paul & Oden = WIN.

 

You're a Clippers fan now?

 

i love paul but i have to wonder if hes injury prone. 2 years in a row now hes had bad injuries.

we could offer nothing the hornets would take.

all we need is oden and paul in the trainers room together wih roys bulky hammy and la's up and down nightly performance.

 

I would do that. Roy is a great player. Paul is better, and would likely fit better with Oden and LMA.
