    I'm not sure I agree with that. I'd say you trade one because he'll get you something different in return. If they could trade Chris Paul for Paul Chris, who plays a different position (equal talent in other words) then they do that trade.

    Surely this was said with the Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown deal.

    It's unlikely, but it happens. Kareem was traded. Wilt was traded. Barkley was traded for Jeff Hornacek!
    Money is usually the reason, plus an unhappy player. But does that mean Monty wasn't enough to make Paul happy?

    Unless nobody offers you that and you realize you can't play them both, so their value is only going to diminish. And you're paying luxury tax...

    I would've said this trade was more likely BEFORE the change of ownership.

    And let me be the first (and probably only) person to say that Paul might look a good deal worse as a Blazer than he did as a Hornet. There's a reason Collison looked good in that system. And anyone remember how great everybody thought Damon was when he was on the Raptors? I don't remember Paul standing out AT ALL playing for the US.

    Chris Paul or not, I think there's a real possibility the Blazers try their hardest to make a big splash. The pieces are certainly there to go out and get something done.

    That would be fun. Spending the next few years listening to fans complain about how Monty made this happen, like they say Jerry West did for the Pau Gasol trade.

    They would consider a package based on Oden. He still has the talent to be the best center in the game. He was arguably more valuable to the Blazers early season success than Roy. Paul hasn't been free of injuries either. I still think they won’t trade Paul, but Oden has the potential to make their team far better after a trade when you factor in Orleans getting salary relief, other prospects, and more production from Collision.

    When healthy, Paul is the best PG in the League. If KP is able to pull this one off Paul Allen would be a fool to fire him.

    C'mon, Oden is a huge risk. He fell down without contact and was hurt for the rest of the season. As a sweetener in a bigger deal, sure. But I really don't see NOH giving up CP3 for nothing but potential.

    If you think about it, the Blazers are a 50 win team, back to back, with Roy. In theory, CP3 should make everyone on the floor much better (like he did with Tyson Chandler), so it would be a win-win: upgrade for the Blazers, near equal value for NOH.

    CP3 is a future HOFer if he continues as he has. Pau Gasol wasn't. There will be a big bidding war for CP3.

    In fact, the Bulls could do Deng and a pick for CP3 and one of those big contracts which is a better deal than what's been talked about here.

    This link says that George Shinn hasn't closed on the team's sale yet with the new owner-to-be, Gary Chouest.

    Still doubt they trade Paul though.

    No, it isn't. Especially when you consider how much Deng is still owed, and how his production has stagnated over the last three years.

    So I take it you won't be attending the CP3 to Portland rally? We'll be offering a free pair of rose colored glasses to the person who brings the best sign.

    Deng starts for them at SF and gives them 18/7, efficient scoring, and defense.

    If the Bulls took back Peja, it would save NOH over $15M on the payroll as well.

    If the Bulls took back Okafor, it would save NOH $52M over the course of Deng's contract.

    Deng is only 24, too.

    Nic puts up 10/4 while playing 13 fewer minutes than Deng, while shooting better from two point and three point range, as well as the free throw line, and is 21, on a rookie contract for two more years. As opposed to Deng who is owed $51mil over the next four years.

    I love and hate this time of year! If info is getting leaked, I'm sure the deal is dead. I'm trying to remember when he last time a rumor came true.
