Trade Idea: Jazz/Hornets/Knicks

basically they would be trading paul for all expirings..I would assume they would want atleast 2 starters back plus picks. The magic could offer a much better package of players imo.

No the Magic don't have anything for a team that would be in rebuilding mode after trading Paul. They don't want Carter or Lewis. They don't want Nelson they already have Collison. They might want Redick & Gortat but Gortat doesn't help them rebuild.

And the Hornets already said if they trade Paul they want the team to take Okafor anyways. Orlando is not going to take Okafor.

Research the rumors and look at what position the team would be in after the trade.
 
I want nothing to do with a crappy C who makes way too much. If we're going to overpay for a defensive-oriented center, let it be a very good one. Let it be Perkins this off-season.

Redick can't be traded until December 15.

The only way Paul's $14M contract ends up in Orlando is if someone takes on the contracts for VC ($17.5M) or Lewis ($18M). Orlando's payroll, according to the ESPN Trade Machine, is currently a whopping $85M, and they would be wanting to cut that. OTOH, if Orlando did take on Paul, they would make Nelson expendable, his contract is $7.8M. They would then have to include either Pietrus ($5.3M), or Gortat ($6.3M), or Bass ($4M) + filler in the trade.

Just for fun, here's a trade that allows the Hornets to shed Paul and Okafor:

Orlando gets: Chris Paul
Hornets gets: Mo Williams, A Parker, D Orton (filler), Trade Exception ($11.5M)
Cleveland gets: Okafor, Nelson, Bass.

Works according to the Trade Machine. ORL gets +7 wins and CLE +4 wins, NO gets -14 wins and a massive cut to their payroll (in fact they end up under the cap).
 
I read it. Which part of your self-contradicting post would I have been smart to believe?

I'm editing this to add clarification: It wasn't my intention to insult you with my post. I don't like your trade idea, but you included a depth chart that had Millsap at center. I didn't make it up. I didn't imagine it. I simply responded to it. If you feel like there's a call to call me dumb because I reacted to something that is plainly and clearly in your post.... whatever.
