Hold up, wait a minute! (CP3 smokescreen?)

Paul still seeking way out​

 

I must say... This drama is getting more tiring than Rudy F himself.

 

This part stood out...

No mention of Portland in the article. So we can probably cross the Blazers off the list.

 

You also forgot this part, which does not sound good for us.

 

Also, this guy still does not seem to think Portland is even on Paul's list.

I honestly would like to move on I think. It is tiring.

 

I would love to have CP3 but I agree and would be happy to just move on.

 

Yea why would they want to empower a Western Conference rival for years to come? If CP3 came here we would be on Top. Nobody wants that.

Does CP3 want that? If he does he should tell the Blazers he'd be fine playing with just B-Roy and Oden or just LMA and G.O. because it looks like were going to have to give up one of our future all stars to even have a chance. .

 

Perhaps because we offer a nicer package than Orlando, Charlotte and New Jersey? In any case, I hope we look to move somewhere else in trade talks. This stuff is draining.

 

yeah because an article doesn't even mention us, that must mean that we all of a sudden don't have the best package to offer...

 

Maybe, but you have to think it holds some merit. To not even be mentioned once anywhere seems like our chances, if any, are lower.

 

Yep. As predicted by many on here including me.

Now we wait for leaks.

 

Hopefully the article is incorrect, though, and Hornets are willing to at least discuss moving Paul to the western conference, if not, we stand no chance.

 

LOL, this place is manic.

 

This guy didn't report Portland before either. Now Broussard (the guy who called LeBron's landing and who has impeccable sources) said Portland. Fuck CBS News. It's all about the most attractive package.

 

You're overly invested in this emotionally. Sort of like me and Oden. Take a step back, take off the Ninja suit, put some pants on, and take off your clown mask. At least that's what I do whenever I get too close to a Sport's news story.

 

Technically, he was even flipping always saying he will stay in Cleveland, now it is Miami, nope Cleveland, Bulls have a shot now, etc. It was not until the night before he stood by Miami. He may not be as credible as you think. Screaming A. Smith was the only one to get it right.

 

Only time will tell. I can see them wanting to send him East, but for what?

Run through that list of teams provided and show me a team that has a package nearly as good. Only NYK is even close, does their being in the Eastern Conference trump the talent and relief edge we have? We'll see.

 

Magic in a three way where Jameer goes to a team that needs a PG. That seems like the best way to go for the Hornets IMO. Paul will definitley be pissed going to Bobcats and Nets, but we will see.

 

I honestly don't see a three-way trade involving anyone that nets Paul unless it's a Western Conference team aiding a trade of Paul to the East or vice versa like the Boston trade B-Roy posted from another forum. That I could see. Really though three or more team trades are rare for a reason. Hence, if you look at what assets are available on each team you will see it's between Portland and NYK. At least that's my belief. Also I dont' see the Bobcats getting Paul he would be a one year rental and out after the lock out.

Magic have garbage outside the Carter expiring and our JPEC/AMEC package is better due to Joel's insurance. Plus we can actually add young talent. It's the Knicks I worry about.
