    well you have to consider what happened to us after that season too. Perhaps we would have done better and not had a chance to draft Roy and LMA...

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    All I know is that tomorrow better be a pretty big fucking day. Or else I'm going to set Firefox to filter out "Quick reports," "Yahoo reports," and all mentions of Chris Paul.

    For those who want Batum over Aldridge, that is fine. But therre is a reason Paul mentioned Aldridge and not Batum and Oden. If we were to get Paul, we want him to be happy and keeping Roy and Aldridge is what apparently what he wants. So bye bye Batum and Oden if we want to even have New Orleans listen.

    One thing I keep forgetting is the Paul is also a BYC player. So he will count about $6.8 mil for trade purposes. Not the $13.5 previously assumed. After July 1, his BYC will expire, and his salary will count as $14.9 mil.

    Just FYI.

    Maybe, but Okafor + CP3 (he has a 15% trade kicker also) NOW = ~18mil

    Okafor + CP3 post July 1= ~28mil

    Now, we can get it done with fewer pieces, but after July 1, getting within the -100k, / 1.25 value of $28mil (adding to total of $22.3 mil from our side) isn't going to be too hard if the principle pieces going out are Dre/Joel/Greg.
