ORLANDO, Fla. -- It is draft night in the NBA, and it seems the Orlando Magic are in the mood to make a deal.

Rumors of New Orleans point guard Chris Paul coming to Orlando for Vince Carter and Jameer Nelson seem to be more real than the Magic are saying.

Local 6 sports director David Pingalore, through his NBA sources, is confirming the deal could be completed as soon as Orlando Magic General Manager Otis Smith finds a third team for Hornets Center Emeka Okafor.

If for some reason that deal does not work, the Magic have a backup plan.

Hornets won't do that...why trade Paul if you're just going to bring more guards in and still hold back Collison and Thornton?

 

Hornets want picks and expirings for Paul so they can build on their future. Not an aging above average shooting guard and a highly offensive guard who would take minutes from Thornton and Collison.

Carter is an expiring, and some team would love Jameer if they strike out in FA. IMO the Kings...

Paul on the Magic would be lethal, even if it means giving up Jameer and Carter.

 

But as others have said, it's going to take more than that. If the Magic could actually get Paul they would do it instantly, regardless of what anyone says about them not looking to deal Jameer. But for the Hornets, Carter's expiring is nice, but the issue is giving both Jameer and Collison their minutes. Unless the Hornets feel they could trade Jameer, it just doesn't make sense.

 

Seriously, though...Paul on the Magic? That's scary to think about.
