    I'm fine with trading for Chris Paul, but only if we can immediately flip him for Martell Webster, Jarrett Jack and Joel Freeland. #boythatdidnotworkoutatall

    Why not? The Blazers can become the team old NBA veterans come to retire. :lollipop:

    Look, if you weren't surprised by the foam all over my mouth at the thought of Anthony joining our team then all I can say is you ain't seen nothin' yet. Paul joins our team over my dead body!

    Riverman realized this take was so bad that he had to go into hiding.

    Yeh, basketball-wise it would have been a good move. Not so much financially. Surprising how many people on here opposed the trade for non-basketball and non-financial reasons.

    When a franchise that could have drafted Chris Paul instead trades down to take Martell Webster, I think the basketball gods would probably be amused at the idea of that franchise trading for him late in his career. They’d probably be laughing their asses off as they quickly gave him a season-ending injury.

    I'd accompany the trade by pushing HCP into a volcano to appease them.

    I’d rather have Chris Paul at age 40 than Melo now.

    I wanted him before last year, when we actually had some matching contracts.

    So the Suns are (checks notes) 1/2 game better than Portland.

    Just imagine what Paul could do if 4/5ths of his starting 5 wasn't hurt.
