It would give us the perfect amount of flexibility. We would also have the most formidable front line in the league w/ Dwight, Okafor, and Shard.

 

We would also have an ungodly payroll.

 

Okafor is a crappy 4. That's common knowledge. He would be basically as good as Gortat, which is really nice for 10 minutes against certain teams.

 

That being said, he is an upgrade over Gortat as a backup C and a guy who can play next to Dwight for 10 minutes a game.

you apparently don't know what Okafors contract looks like, to play him for 10 min. a game would be the stupidest waste of money.

Oh my, were back on this again. One GM gets fired and this whole thing gets fired up again. As much as Id like to get CP, theres no way its gonna happen. Sigh...we can still dream though. It must be a slow news day...

If we get Chis Paul we ship Okafor to Oklahoma City in a three way.

 

Orlando Trades:

Vince Carter

Pietrus

Gortat

Anderson

 

Orlando Gets:

Chris Paul

Nick Collison

Morris Peterson

David West

 

New Orleans Trades

Chris Paul

David West

Emeka Okafor

 

New Orleans gets:

Marcin Gortat

Jeff Green

Ryan Anderson

Vince Carter

 

OKC Trades

Jeff Green

Morris Peterson

Nick Collison

 

OKC gets

Emeka Okafor

Pietrus

 

Isn't it beautiful I think this trade is full of win for everyone involved. Even works on Trade Checker http://www.realgm.com/src_chec....php?tradeid=5619333

 

Of course we would have to trade Jameer for a two guard but our new lineup would be:

 

PG-Paul/Duhon

SG-(New Guy)/Q Rich

SF-Lewis/Morris Peterson

PF-David West/Brandon Bass

C Dwight/Collison

Except OKC. And except for the fact Mo Pete can't be combined with anyone in a trade for 60 days.

I know exactly what it looks like and I also am not naive enough to think we would get Chris Paul w/out having to take on a crap contract. I also am not naive enough to think that another team is waiting with baited breath to take Okafor away from us.

 

Finally when I said 10 mins. I meant in a big lineup with him at PF. He would also log additional minutes backing up Dwight, which as we all know could be a lot at times since Dwight gets in foul trouble.

why would we keep jameer? and getting west too? thats too greedy.

 

send west to okc, give us jeff green. keep gortat and anderson, insert jameer, give us posey.

I forgot about Jameer in the celebration of getting CP3. We'd need to ship him off for a starting role playing defender and slasher who can also hit the three. I'd love Green, but New Orleans wants young talent in exchange for Paul.

 

Taking all that Salary in exchange for a talented Trio of Green, Anderson and Gortat should be enough to pry Chirs Paul loose. OKC dosen't need West because they have Ibaka. Plus West's best chance of getting a ring is with us and he and Chris Paul are very close.

OKC gets a talented big man to anchor the middle and a defender/ dangerous three point shooter off the bench. I don't see why they don't pull the trigger. I'm not sure about the trade issue with Peterson as it worked in trade checker.
