New CP3 deal. I know I know...

PrintBut hear me out first. Bower is out as GM which means there will be more trade proposals coming down for Paul than before and with the ownership a mess, if Paul & his agent were approached with a way to get him here, he might be willing to go into the Hornets front office and demand a trade. So, here is my proposed deal. I know it seems like a lot to give up but it is Chris FREAKIN Paul!! haha. I have worked a few other scenarios including Houston in place of Minny, but I don't think they would be interested for what they would have to give up in order to be apart of this deal. Minny on the other hand has a sock puppet for a GM so they would be more likely to be had if you dangle a carrot they like. Anyway....have at it and tear it to pieces. Don't hold back, I wouldn't for any of you guys haha. Just know I will more than likely be coming back with another reason why I disagree/agree with you.
Here is the link to the Trade Machine, in case you want to look at it yourself.
ORL - Paul, Posey, Okafor, G. Stiemsma
NO - Carter, Nelson , Gortat, Beasley 2 future firsts from ORL
MIN - Dampier contract Orlando 2nd, $5 mil. trade exception from NO
CHA - Sessions, W. Ellington (UNC guy) Orlando 2nd
Hollinger Analysis by teams: Orlando - 3 win improvement; New Orleans - 7 less wins; Minnesota 1 less win; Charlotte 3 win improvement.
It should be noted that this Minnesota and Charlotte deal might already be in the works, so why not try jump on in with them and see if they would facilitate it?

You do realize that one of the reasons that Bower is out is because he was willing to listen to trade offers for Paul, right?
It’s been speculated that New Orleans fired him because of that. I’m guessing that a Paul trade is even less likely than before.

yeah the guy was axed cause he wanted to trade CP3…this trade going down this summer is a pipedream…Magic fans need to focus their analytical efforts on another player than CP3…

that link was to a CBS message board kinda like this one right?
I am not going to disagree with the RUMOR that he was fired because he didn’t say no to Paul trade inquiries fast enough (although it is strange that after much of the rumors subsided, that is when he was let go, not as they were coming in or immediately after) As I mentioned though, things aren’t exactly peachy in NO between Paul and the owners, wouldn’t you agree? And just because this new guy who comes in won’t trade Paul, my point was if the people who are signing the checks aren’t going to be willing to open their wallets more, than why would that change anything for Paul and “wanting to compete for a championship now”?
I had actually read it elsewhere but couldn't remember where exactly
I just googled Bower being fired and then linked to the first article I saw that mention the whole CP3 angle just to show I wasn’t making it up to be contrary.

Also to answer your question:
It’s almost irrelevant what Paul may want or don’t want at this point. From what I have read, New Orleans is hemorrhaging money, but Chris Paul is the only thing that keeps what fans there are coming to the games and buying the merchandise. It’s not in the owner’s best interest to get rid of Paul right now since even an unhappy Paul is still a huge return on the investment (Paul’s contract).
I would love to have Paul as much as the next person, but it’s not going to happen, so I would rather focus on the team that the Magic have now than dwell on a fantasy.

If the team's superstar is noticeably unhappy about his situation fans are not gonna come to the games
Normal people are not going to like seeing a guy making millions of dollars to play a game complain. This makes people very apathetic to their sports team (Tracy McGrady)
The best thing New Orleans can do is go young with Collison,Thorton, trade Paul for good young,(cheap) players and try to get the team moved from New Orleans

Paul's not going to publically moan about it
He’d have to be a locker room and market cancer for the Hornets to trade him this summer, because he is New Orleans basketball, and he’s not that guy.
Next summer, with a year left on his deal, is the time to chase Chris Paul. And that’s right when Carter’s immediately buyoutable contract looks extremely attractive.

Really?
Im not disagreeing or anything, but i read an article saying he was dumped because he wasnt willing to trade Chris Paul

funny80sguy, I wasn't aware that there was a report that had the details. Thanks though.
GiantSquid, what is the harm in speculating? Would you rather discuss the value of Q and what he brings to the table? or how Dwight is improving his post moves? I am just trying to keep myself from being bored, it wasn’t like I prefaced the topic with something misleading. I really didn’t think it would be that big of a deal. Other than your belief that Paul can’t be dealt at all, what would you speculate as being wrong with this deal? Just an FYI that I forgot to post earlier, I don’t actually think this would happen either, or any other trade for Paul for that matter, but in the middle of the summer, does it really hurt anyone to speculate?

dunno what duck is supposed to mean. and your link to the Sentinel means what exactly? that because Jameer contacted Q, Jameer isn't going anywhere?
Like I said, I am not saying this will happen, most likely will never happen at any point in the future, but because Jameer called Q and some guy named Matt Humphrey who blogs for The Sentinel of all places says so, this thing won’t ever happen? I will agree with the “won’t happen” part, but not because The Sentinel and a Jameer phone call about a team retreat says otherwise.
Charlotte is not getting Sessions
They opted for Livingston. And don’t you know CP# is goint to Charlotte and dallas and Orlando and Utah and the Clippers and the Reno Bghornes and the Bulls and the Knicks ant the local Y ream?

NC Magic Fan, do you have a link to the "not getting Sessions, opting for Livingston" thing? I was just going off what I saw on John Hollinger's post on INsider
and seriously, can we stop with the attacking of ideas? If you don’t think the trade will happen say why. There really isn’t a need for snarky comments about the topic. If you don’t like the topic, don’t click on it or don’t post. Everyone has to be soooo cool and get the last good jab in with their sarcasm that it is actually getting annoying. I agree with what BQR said on Twitter yesterday, that this forum has gotten a little out of hand with all the name calling and attacks on ideas. If you don’t have anything to say about the ACTUAL topic, instead of being a sarcastic jerk and making fun of the topic, why not just move along? Obviously 41 people have voiced their opinions in the polls, so I know some people have an opinion on this matter, other than being an ass I presume.
HA!
I’ve got two words for ya…. Just kidding! but I am glad CP3 helped me validate my belief that he isn’t happy there and “….with the ownership a mess, if Paul & his agent were approached with a way to get him here, he might be willing to go into the Hornets front office and demand a trade.”
