Built Ford Tough Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 If you were in calling the shots in New Orleans and the Hornets somehow ended up moving winning the draft lottery tomorrow to win the 1st pick in the draft, how would you approach the draft considering you already have Chris Paul and Darren Collison on the roster? Do you draft John Wall anyways and hope that him, Paul and Collison are able to co-exist?Do you just draft Evan Turner first despite the fact that Wall is the consensous number 1?Do you trade the pick?Do you trade Darren Collison?Do you consider trading Chris Paul? I know that it most likely won't happen, but if New Orleans were to win the draft lottery tomorrow, it would be very interesting to see what happens between now and the draft.

AboveLegit Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 You package Collison and Peja for Rudy Gay (Memphis is looking for a sign and trade for Gay), then you take Cousins or Turner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipHopHead Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Being a Hornets fan, I know they won't get the first pick but anyway... Trade Paul. Package Okafor with him.Trade down to draft Cousins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland's Finest Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I saw this deal on the Cavs forums: Hornets get: Jamison, West (expiring), JJ, Z, and a future first round pickCavs get: CP3, Okafor We take on Okafor's contract and give the Hornets a lot of flexibility. Hornets get to build around JJ, Thornton, and Collison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universe Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I think you trade the pick. Think of what some people would trade for John Wall and he hasn't even stepped on court. Grab some talent and put it beside Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flight Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 If it ended up that way, I think we'd probably trade Collison and Peja for Gay. Then try to run a lineup with Wall at 2 guard. You still have Thornton as your 6th man and a deadly starting lineup. Depth is an issue but it'd be a step up from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
