    Paul would keep Oden out of foul trouble? Oden is already effective, when he is on the floor.

    Why does Minny trade for a power forward? They have Al Jeff. It's still the same problem they have with Love. Two good players at the same position.

    The thing is if they want to shed Salary they will want Joel over LMA. And like I say Oden shouldn't be traded. Remember we all think he will be great but NOH would have a hard time explaining the trade to their fans. LMA traded for someone like Harris to be shipped to NOH would definitely lessen the sting.

    If we get to page 10 the Hornets have to trade him to us.

    It's in the Constitution and the CBA.

    Snideness isn't helping us get Chris Paul. Please focus your energies on fantasy trade proposals, thanks.

    Oh, shit. Sorry, I hadn't read either recently. Didn't know.

    Ok, so what if Paul Allen loans me 1 billion dollars. I offer Shinn 750 million dollars for the Hornets. I trade Chris Paul, along with my first round pick in 2010, 2012, and 2014, for Outlaw and Blake(works in trade checker). I then sell the team for whatever I can get for it. First, I move it to Bismarck SD. Then I sell it. Maybe for 50 dollars. Who cares.

    Sounds good?

    I'm focusing all my energies on getting Roy and LA extended, and I find it ludicrous that you would ask me to split my energies when my energies can be used to get Roy and LA extended.

    I think the Blazers have burned those bridges. Roy and Aldridge are gone...don't throw good money (or energy, as the case may be) after bad. Focus on getting us Paul.

    TRADES: CP3 thinks he could be traded
    Chris Paul | Hornets
    Chris Paul, during an interview with Pro Basketball News, said he thinks it's possible the Hornets could trade him to help alleviate the team's high payroll.

    "In this league, anything can happen," said Paul. "I can be dealt."

    Paul then was asked that surely he can't be serious he could be traded.

    "It's possible," he said. "It's possible."

    Joel and LMA form the center tandem of the 3 big rotation. LMA/Jeff start

    Yeah, I don't know.... LMA is an All-Star caliber power forward.... but I'm not so sure he's an All-Star caliber center.

    Re: CP3 on his way to Portland!

    Dunno if this has been posted yet but I'm watching the Hornets-Warriors SL game from yesterday and CP3 was being interviewed by the LAker's play-by-play guy and the Blazer's color commentator. Blazer's guy asked him why he was heading to Portland and CP3 said he had "shoe meetings" presumably with Nike.
