    Colin Cowherd reported on his show this morning that a deal had been reached sending Chris Paul to the Knicks. No ther specifics were known at this time.

    (I should also add that I did not hear the program, but a couple of co-workers told me).

    Do the Knicks even have cap space to absorb crappy NO contracts any more?

    Re: CP3 to the Knicks

    I heard that right as I woke up. I can't say what I heard for sure as I was half awake.

    I never heard the words "Done Deal" but it doesn't mean he didn't say it. I thought his tone sounded more like speculation.... but again.

    Half awake.

    I'm a big help eh? :grin:

    Re: CP3 to the Knicks

    ESPN reported this morning that "a possible trade has taken place" involving CP. Got that off google. Here's the quote from CBS:

    ESPN spent several minutes on its morning SportsCenter discussing a possible trade involving the New Orleans Hornets and Chris Paul. http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ssf/2010/07/the_chris_paul_trade_rumors_co.html

    That doesn't mean a done deal, but it's stronger than anything else we have heard.

    "A possible trade" takes place with Chris Paul roughly 40% of the time anyone uses ESPN Trade Machine and gets a green light.

    Re: CP3 to the Knicks

    Not the cap space to. It'd likely be something like Curry, Randolph, Gallinari, Douglas or Chandler for Paul/Okafor. So it comes down to Gallinari and Randolph, basically, being better than the prospets we offer up. I'd take Aldridge over them, even on his big deal.

    I thought ESPN was pretty reliable when talking about things like that.

    Re: CP3 to the Knicks

    We are not trading LMA. CP3 already mentioned he wouldn't want to come to the Blazers if Roy and LMA wasn't here. Plus the Knick players have a low salary and LMA salary is to much for NO to take. They want to try and save money not trade for LMA.

    Re: CP3 to the Knicks

    If a trade has occurred, then it cannot be that: Randolph can't be traded except by himself.

    It would be funny to have NO trade Okafor for Chandler, though.

    I believe this is the Sportscenter clip in question:

    http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=5400518&categoryid=2378529

    They mention NY, Dallas, Portland, and Orlando

    Sorry, wasn't saying for a rumored completed deal. Was just comparing what each team can actually offer. NY's offer would just ahev to wait a month.

    Re: CP3 to the Knicks

    The point is to save money and get cheap assets. Aldridge doesn't save them money, and isn't a cheap asset. As a player, he's better, but I don't think NO cares.
