    Sooooo Looks like the Nets could have had Paul for this trade

    #3, Devin Harris for Paul and Okafor

    There has GOT TO BE a way for us to get them a deal they like, is there any way??? This can happen and i dont think KP has given up on it, neither should we

    Re: One more Chris Paul Thread

    A few things...

    1. If we trade with them, they want expirings (Joel, Andre).

    2. Those expirings are not enough (duh), so you would have to add in some talent.

    3. That talent has to be on the cheap because they're not trying to acquire big salary (Roy, Aldridge)

    What does that leave you with as options? Our pick, Rudy, Batum, Bayless pretty much (along with the previously mentioned expirings). The odds of it working out aren't too high because I think we would have to be able to give them a high draft pick as well.

    Right, so somehow combine bayless and rudy to get in the top 8 or higher, and then trade Andre joel batum and the pick

    You could throw Camby in the deal for Okafor and Paul and get to the magic number.

    Tampering? WTF, Wojadouche. Quit your diatribe on PDX already. Everyone knows you have a vendetta.

    A Woj:
    Omg... I can't believe how much of a hard-on AWoj has for the Blazer's front office. It's bordering on creepy.

    Re: New Chris Paul & Portland info

    The first part, I understand. To get Paul (or LeBron) would cost us the core of our team and make us basically a Superstar and 11 also-rans.

    thing is, isn't it all but impossible to trade Brandon and LaMarcus because of their contracts (outside of trading to someone WAAAY under the cap)?

    That and the whole thing about LeBron coming here just screams "web click" material.

    Hey CP3, neither guy was mentioned in the proposed deal reported by Quick. Feel better now? Then demand a trade!

    Re: New Chris Paul & Portland info

    no, their contracts aren't all that prohibitive. Brandon's is tougher, but it just takes a contract coming back in the 13-16M (or higher) range to do, which is the level of what the names we're talking about are.

    In fact, if you wanted to put them both together, LMA + Roy could be sent out for 25M coming back. So they couldn't be sent out in a S&T for one of the max FA's, but could in a package.
