*Swish* Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 The Hornets haven't yet entertained trade offers for Chris Paul, but the point guard is already considering a number of scenarios. According to league sources, the Magic have replaced the Knicks atop Paul's list of preferred destinations. The Knicks are still high on his list, but Paul believes Dwight Howard and the Magic are currently a better fit. Paul will meet with Hornets president Hugh Weber, new general manager Dell Demps and new head coach Monty Williams to discuss the future direction of the club on Monday.

Orlando: CP3 and Dwight Howard is just scary to even imagine 2. Knicks: Amare used to play with Nash so him and CP3 would also be dangerous3. Heat: Bosh/Wade/LeBron/Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 He is not going to join the Heat anytime soon unless he is out of his mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawks Fly High Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I really want to see him dwight team up and beat miami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Why do you keep suggesting he may go to Miami? LOL there is no way in hell another superstar is ending up there man... let it go. Orlando has plenty of assets to trade to New Orleans to snag him. It would obviously include Jameer, and possibly Rashard if they plan to take on Okafor's contract in order to acquire CP3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I really want to see him dwight team up and beat miamiThen we're going to be completely outmatched by Miami AND Orlando. Not good for the Hawks man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I don't get the Jameer part, don't they want Collison in the forefront? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Orlando has pieces to offer if the Hornets want to push for the playoffs after dealing him, but if they want nice young assets it is Portland or New York. Paul is really handcuffing the Hornets if all these rumours are true though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Unless they find a 3rd party, I don't see Orlando making a serious run at him. The only reason I could see the Hornets looking at the Magic as a legit suitor is because of Carter's $17M expiring, and I believe Pietrus is also a $5M+ expiring. However, the Magic will also have to swallow Okafor's huge contract. If you find a third suitor who would be willing to take on Jameer and give the Hornets a decent prospect or two, and if the Magic throw in a few draft picks, I could see the trade working out. That would give the Hornets well over $20M in cap relief at the end of the season, get rid of Okafor's long-term deal, and maybe get a decent prospect or two. I don't know if they will be able to find a much better deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universe Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Chris Paul is LeBron James best friend yet he wants to team up with one of the teams in the East that will give him the most trouble? Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzy Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 lol he can't go to the Heat this off-season even if he wanted to. They can't afford him financially Does Chris Paul have a trade clause in his contract? I'm wondering cause can't the Hornets just ship him to any team since he wants out lol.
