Magic going in for Chris Paul

[TreyTime 3]

I'm going to get way ahead of myself, because that's how I roll. I would say Dwight, Lewis, and Redick are our untouchable players. Dwight for obvious reasons, Lewis because of his contract and Redick because he is PERFECT for the team we (as fans) want to assemble. That leaves the rest as trade pieces:

 

Nelson

Duhon*

Carter

Richardson*

Pietrus

Robinson

Anderson

Bass

Gortat

Orton

 

* - Can't be traded for six months

 

Are there not enough pieces there to trade for not only Paul, but Melo as well? Let's say we send a package of Nelson/Carter/Gortat for Paul/Okafor. That leaves us with Paul, Howard, Redick, and Lewis as our untouchable players. We now have these trade pieces for next summer:

 

Duhon

Richardson

Pietrus

Robinson

Anderson

Bass

Okafor

Orton

 

Who knows who all will try to trade for Melo (if we get Paul then NY can probably sign him outright, as will some other teams, like New Orleans). But I still say there are some good pieces there to trade. Of course we would want them to take Okafor, and they probably wouldn't. Maybe Bass/Pietrus/picks for Melo? Haven't looked at any of the salaries to see what matches and not, but I think we have the pieces for it (or maybe I'm a homer, who knows).

 

Paul/Duhon

Redick/Richardson

Anthony/Robinson

Lewis/Anderson

Howard/_______/Orton

 

Ring City, let's go!

Nobody but Howard is untouchable.

Howard is untouchable in the same sense that expensive art in a gallery is untouchable.

 

Lewis is untouchable in the same sense that battery acid is untouchable. Sure you could touch it, but you're going to get a huge chemical burn.

did we get him yet?

Like L4TW said, I included Redick though because he really is the best SG you can put with a trio like Howard/Paul/Anthony.

He could be a trade piece on the second half of my post.

I know you mean well, but come on... he said the same thing on draft night, and just admitted in that thread he started that it wasn't real then, but you are supposed to believe him now.
