Make it a 4 team trade. Find a team to take on Okafor. Find a team to take on Jameer.

That just makes me feel like this isn't going to happen more than I already do.

It sure is a good thing that teams are required to agree to be part of trades we propose!

We're ****ed

 

I didn't feel like that at all after reading the entire article...I think Paul is gonna force the issue...the thing I worried about was other teams having better offers.

 

 

 

Yeah but will he sign an extension? I think he wants to be in the EC, where the focus will be on who can beat Miami....and that leads back to us! But I won't get to heated up over this situation!

 

By the way, good to see you posting again BJ!!

He's a lurker, searching for trade ideas and using ESPN trademachine just like us.

 

Every day, he prints out the newest replies in the monster CP3 thread and makes RDV read it, reads it outloud to his FO staff and they all go to work, trying to satisfy us.

 

The "Book of Paul: Volume 1", as the giant thread is called at Magic FO, weighs about 29 pounds as of now.

fyi if you wanted to print out the giant paul thread it would take over 5000 pages

Orlando a No-Go for Paul

Chris Paul wants out of New Orleans and may have Orlando as his No. 1 desired destination, but financially the Magic can't afford to make the deal if Emeka Okafor is included. Orlando is already way over the luxury tax line and adding Okafor's contract (four years, $52 million) is just too much.
