Chris Paul Open to Trade to Magic, Clippers

[DevilsAssassin]

way way too much. either Gordon or the minny pick(likely top 3 pick in a stacked draft) , not both

Minnesota won't be that bad.

I guess Gilbert Arenas will be a Hornet this year.

Why would NO do that to themselves? They'd be better off letting Paul walk next offseason.

Which teams in The West will they jump ahead to avoid lottery status?

Utah, Hornets, Suns, Warriors, Denver

Utah, Hornets, Suns, Warriors, Denver

. Jazz won 39 games and have a ton of young talent like Wolves. Warriors should also improve and won double what Wolves won last year. Only Denver, Hornets, Suns and Rockets will drop.. but I think Wolves will get 25 wins.. which is an 8 game improvement. Huge but not enough to get out of bottom 5 teams.

If Paul wants to win, why on earth would he want to go to a team like the Clippers with no history of great management, not a good coach in place, a secondary team in the city...and oh yeah, basically him and Blake and not a whole lot else - no high picks, terrible rotation of big men, no shooting guard, etc....

If he wants to win, he has to go to the Knicks or go to Boston.

8 wins?

Am I the only one on this site that thinks the Wolves can at least win 30 games this season?

Jazz are good, but there have been many reports that they are trading Al and Millisap to focus on developing Favors and Enes Kanter so of course their Wins will drop this season.

I don't even know why I added the Warriors

Blake Griffin. And now you know.

30 wins in a 66 game season?

Haha... Clippers have a top 3 bigman rotation next to Mavs and Lakers. Explain why it's a terrible big man rotation? Griffin/Craig Smith... Kaman/DJ. Tell me which others are better? You're talking about the 2nd best team in the NBA at scoring in the paint.

66 game season dude. 25 wins is a very good percentage of a leap considering they won 17 of 82 last year. You're basically saying they won't be far from a .500 team when they just won 17 games and were the worst team in the NBA. Somehow the Cavs finished better than them despite 26 straight losses which is REALLY bad/sad.

[yobore]

Blake Griffin. And now you know.

And DJ. Can't stress enough how awesome a DJ/Paul combo would be even when Griffin is sitting.

Yeah I totally forgot this was only a 66 game season.

But look we added new pieces, got a new coach and assuming everyone on the team is healthy I think we can surprise a lot of people this season

IMO if CP gets traded there then the Hornets are going to force tem to give up some major assets, one of whom would be Jordan.
