But, its like saying we should go get Kobe and Derrick Rose?? Why isn't this locked yet? Theres no "Otis needs to find a third team to take on Okafor"...otherwise NO would just trade Okafor to them themselves... personally i don't think we have a chance of taking on a superstar right now, no one wants vince's contract unless they're saying that it's a rebuild. but there is some material truths that the gm of the hornets just got fired for his iffy relationship with paul as well as the 'inability to trade him' thing which may or may not be speculation. i think you listed all of the superstars right now, paul would be at the top of the list to be traded, but us being the sniveling, trade happy, magic fans that we are, we're being so forward as to boast about what we would do with okafor if we were to get him. i think we're in the hunt for it even if it's a hunt for an endangered species... but we're in the back of the hornets minds, i don't think they're looking to rebuild, but if paul wants out, then he can ask some things of them.

i think this thread is worth the time, they would obviously try to dump us the okafor contract, but i think we'd keep okafor around, i think he's one of those guys that would play better if he were to be on a contender.

it really is something to read.... aol chatrooms? what was your screen name jec????

i've never heard of a rivalry yet, it will happen in the coming years, usually one team is great while the other is horrible. we end up wishing each other well in the playoffs, we're both florida teams, we don't get much media coverage unless we have a superstar on our squad, and our rivalry mostly concerns college football, and if your somewhere local, high school football, that's the religion here.

At least that's what Raja should have done, get rid of the elephant in the room right away. they said they've hung out, outside of basketball, them and their wives have gone to dinner and stuff, so it's not like there is too much hatred.

quote: Originally posted by Lewis4thewin: we'd offer him the BAE. The way i see it, he'd a bit old to play 82 games and playoffs. We match JJ and give JJ the minutes he had last year except when we play a team with a player that JJ cant defend. Then we play Bell. if we do this, you have to sing 'ring my bell' at the next ommb karaoke night.

we should get delonte west on the bench just to wink at lebron's mom every time we play the heat, but that would probably set him off and he'd score 80 on us.

VC has always been about getting the most money. He's by no means alone in that, I'm just sayin'. he'll blow his knee out doing it, let him go now.

quote: Originally posted by Audi: Off topic, but has anyone eaten at Carter's? I wonder if it's any good. they talk about how the food is good, but then you show up and you find out all of the food is overcooked, and the review you read for the place happens to be 4 years old. the service looks like they would be a sharp group, but during the end of the night they start to mentally check out and just go through the motions. ba-dum-ching.

i don't think either of them are as well rounded as we're making them out to be. mason is just taller and has more ups, jj seems to be smarter, but no one here really knows anything about mason to make that call. i couldn't see starting either one right now, and i'm not sure how much either one can improve defensively. what i do know is that one seems to be way less expensive than the other, and looking at what's coming, we're going to need some serious cap money available to resign the big man that we all really need on this team.

quote: Originally posted by gatorbait1689: quote: Originally posted by Skywise316: Leaping to the thinking that we're getting Chris Paul is just short-sighted. I think what these articles mean is that the Hornets GM getting fired is a last-ditch effort to keep Chris Paul happy... and/or just a power trip by the Hornets president. I'm really getting the feeling that if trading Vince away/getting CP3 is gonna happen... it won't happen until the trading deadline. VC's expiring will be twice as attractive then, and it also gives CP3 an extra four months to sour on New Orleans and start REALLY getting upset and T.O.-like to get out. the only thing that kind of (very small) worries me about a mid season trade is... despite other teams around us getting better we are still a contender. what would a mid season trade of vince and possibly meer do for team chemistry? i don't know about it taking that much time, very good players don't need alot of time to get each other's games, you'll see about mid way through next season, the heat's 3 will work together, i mean that's 3 people, who knows if they will win alot of games considering you need a team and a bench to get far... but back to the point, if we traded vince in feb, we'd have a month or two for players to get used to each other, and if they're very good caliber players, the sort we're talking about sending vince plus anyone for, then it shouldn't take alot of time. everyone will have a learning curve, but like stan said, the key to being a good coach is to have good players.
