    The report was that the owner decided he was not yet ready to move Paul, not that the package wasn't good enough.

    "Whose."
    And that's perfectly consistent. Defense is underrated, which is why Payton was better than Paul despite not being the shooter that Paul is (and probably not the passer).
    However, both Nash and Kidd have shown themselves to have a bigger impact on teams than Paul (I believe - and evidently, so do the MVP voters, at least in Nash's case). Paul is more of a ball hog because of his scoring. Clearly Nash COULD be like that (he's an amazing scorer when he wants to be) but is better at getting the whole team clicking.
    Defense is underrated, and Nash is a horrible defender. But Nash is so good at other things (even better than Paul at shooting and passing) that he makes up for it. And Paul is WAY overrated as a defender (the All-Defense voters would disagree here. Not all voters are created equal)

    PER schmer.

    Except in the playoffs, and when Williams plays Paul.

    Somebody's smitten. I'd take Deron Williams over Paul RIGHT NOW (and so, apparently, would Charles Barkley). (Partly because Paul looks like he might be injury-prone. And partly because I just love Williams' game.)

    I would pay good (or bad) money to watch Paul and Rajon Rondo go up against each other in a series. That would be fun.

    I'm in a rare mood today. Not that over the top emotion is rare, but the happy joyful bit has been a bit lacking the past few months.

    It does not work salary cap wise. Something else has to go out...

    Are you talking about the reported trade via ESPN or the OP's trade?

    The one via ESPN. They don't have us sending out Oden, yet we are taking back Okafor. Something is a little fishy here. Perhaps the source is KP and telling them "yeah, we almost had it, but in end they are deciding/said no." I don't know, could be a possibility that it is KP who did this...

    Would you do Rose for Chris Paul straight up? It would eat up a chunk of cap space, but you'd have enough left for a Bosh.

    (Or just add Rose to your trade suggestion.)

    If it were pure talent considered, yeah I'd do it.

    On the other hand, Rose plays awfully good for a lot less paycheck.

    Camby's extension kicks in later, and it's $11 Million.

    When does Paul's BYC end?

    Throw camby in there

    2 years of Camby is better for NOH than 4 years of Okafor
