They would get another superstar in return.

Chandler has been playing for contracts the last two years. Good luck with that guy once he inks a long term deal.

I really agree and Im a Knicks fan. Plus if the NBA wont allow the Hornets to trade Paul why not save your money and try signing him after the seasson?? I read 4 years 50 million for Chandler.

Because teams like NY and LA dont have the cap space to sign Paul without moving other pieces out. I don't like the Chandler deal for the reason that CJ stated and because they have an awful backcourt and no depth and less cap space.

Another factor is Paul can sign for more if he is traded first and then re-signs with his new team. This is why these guys like him and Anthony push for trades.

And in the new agreement they get even more for re'upping than they did before which kind of makes the owners position here even weaker. They should have eliminated sign and trades but they wanted the team losing a player to get something in return. I said last year many times that the Knicks were crazy to trade for Anthony because he was coming to NY regardless. Imagine the team they could have had they not traded some pretty valuable pieces?

The last year I was at the FG I went to a few of the games that the Hornets played in NO when they were playing most of the games in OKC. The primary players were Chris Paul and Tyson Chandler. Plenty of seats available and I think they were barely a .500 team.

Seriously? Do you think an NBA operated team is going to take on Amare's contract? This isnt about basketball, it is about money.

Ok Chuck. Where does Paul end up then? When and where?

I dont know how he doesnt get stuck in NO now. What team is going to deal with NO for Paul not knowing if a. Paul will resign with them or b. risk pissing off core players if the NBA nixes another Paul trade.

If the NBA wont let NO operate like a normal team they should disband them. I'd love to hear what the players association has to say about this.

You mean stuck in NO this year then someone signs him as a free agent, right?

Yeah. Without serious collusion how can a deal be made now? It is a lose/lose for everyone. The Lakers as explained in the above post arent better, NO has a guy who really doesnt want to be there now AND they will wind up getting very little for him, Houston has guys that know they were traded but arent.... I as an NBA junkie would like to see the revamped NO team and would like to see Paul on the lakers because last years Laker team wasnt very much fun to watch and is more or less the same.
