xx. Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 (edited) #3, Yi, (Williams or Lee) for CP3. http://www.nba.com/bulls/news/smith_100607.html Who knows, they have Collison and really need a solid big man like Favors to come in. Last word for this will probably come down to Monty. Edited June 9, 2010 by xx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 We could make a reasonable offer, but New Orleans may be hesitant to take a step back in the back court when they're already hiring a new coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Sick deal for both teams involved, Nets get a superstar they would have used their cap on, CP3 now definitely helps bring in a 2nd star in FA like LBJ or Bosh. Hornets are always looking to clear cap, and this helps them restart over again with rebuilding, I think CP3 will be in a different uniform in the 2011 season.

Dash Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Excellent use of cap space if the deal goes down. New Jersey wasn't likely going to 'net' (pun intended) a top class free agent but instead of using it on a second tier player, they go for one the best players currently under contract. Real nice deal for both sides, I can see why New Orleans wouldn't pull the trigger for obvious reasons but its becoming apparent that Paul is unhappy with the organization and with the West growing stronger every season, why not rebuild? The Hornets aren't going to make the playoffs with teams like the Thunder/Rockets/Clippers on the rise. Favors, Yi and Terrence Williams/Courtney Lee are solid pieces. However this is coming from Sam Smith and anything he says should be taken with a grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRT Spidey Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 i dont get why CP3 wouldnt be a hornet next season..why would they get rid of one the top 5 PGs in the league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx. Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 What happens with Devin Harris then?I'm thinking trade him for the 10th pick and Brandon Rush to the Pacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 If the Nets do get CP3, where does that leave Harris? It'll be interesting to see where this trade goes, although I reckon the Hornets won't accept it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipHopHead Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Nets would have to take some contracts on for this to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poe Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 No doubt, it would be a terrific deal for the Nets. Not so much for the Hornets... It doesn't seem like a good idea to trade a player who already IS one of the best for a player that only MIGHT become good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Universe Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Rod Thorn has been involved in trade talks, but doesn't expect to move the No. 3 overall pick. “I would say we probably will hold on to it,” he said. “There’s always a chance you can move it, but I would say we probably would hold on to it.” Smoke screen?

Newman Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Getting Chris Paul would get the same result as the Marbury-Kidd trade from before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipHopHead Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 if hornets trade cp3 they will regret it like hell.Why? Paul will likely opt out the next time his contract ends and it's pretty clear he isn't totally happy with this team - as he should be. Get top value for him and rebuild because like it or not, even as a Hornets fan, I can't say they are a playoff team even with him 100% next year...

Nitro Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Personally I think Paul on the Nets would make just as big of an impact as LeBron or Wade. When healthy he's a top 5 player in the league IMO, and his playmaking and on-court leadership will really help tap the potential of the many young, talented Nets players. Not to mention, with CP3 in town NJ will be a much more lucrative landing spot for many of the top FA's. Give him a Stoudemire, Boozer or Bosh and watch out.

Guest STL10 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I still think New York should offer Douglas,Curry,and Chandler for Paul. Cap relief for NO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) League sources believe the New Jersey Nets are willing to part with the No. 3 pick and every player on their roster except for center Brook Lopez to obtain Paul.Adrian Wojnarowski I had to read the sentence quite a few times before I understood it correctly. This is reportedly in order to draw LeBron. First of all, it might be going to too far of an extent in order to bring over James. Having Harris and Lopez already gives us a pretty good chance at signing LeBron. It's a bit of a waste, in my opinion, even though at this point, Paul is more valuable than Harris in most people's eyes. The fact that we have Harris and Johnson together should not be overlooked. Plus, anyone other than Brook and #3 means that we're willing to deal the potential in T-Will and Courtney Lee. Not worth it when you already have a pretty good chance at this point.

Universe Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Don't see either team making the deal. With Avery, they will give Harris a shot and New Orleans won't trade Paul with a new coach coming in IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teletopez Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) Dave D: Crazy naïve fan moment -- Prokhorov trades Devin Harris, Yi, #3 and #27 pick for Chris Paul and the #11 I really need to stop there with the fantasies, I apologize.Jeremy Atendido Jeremy: That Chris Paul stuff you’re seeing today is at least three weeks old, but Woj had it right – it’s a Worldwide Wes production, and the general reaction to it in Jersey and N’Awlins was “yeah, whatever.” The Nets never made an offer, and the Hornets never asked. And we are reminded that we’ve entered a brave new world of NBA machination -- one in which an agent tries to broker a deal for a player he doesn’t even represent. Chutzpah, eh? It’s funny how something like that doesn’t get you decertified. Dave D'Alessandro Edited June 22, 2010 by Waldo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got Favors? Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Looking back on this, I really wish the Nets would've pulled the trigger. I mean Cp3 would've no doubt brought in another big name free agent, giving us a for sure big 3 in Lopez- Cp3 - FA. That would've been sick, although I'm sure the Nets had to have take on a few contracts.. And thats probably why this stalled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
