While Chris Paul's first choice may be the Knicks, sources say he is also open to being traded to the Magic and Clippers.
Paul can opt out of his contract after the coming season to become a free agent and the Hornets are considering trading him to help in their rebuilding process.

Re: Chris Paul Open to Trade to Magic, Clippers
if Paul doesn't explicitly state that he will extend his contract with any team he is supposedly open to being traded to, then it's not newsworthy

Re: Chris Paul Open to Trade to Magic, Clippers
What's either got to realistically offer? Magic have dick. Clippers have their own picks and Minnesota's, but just flatout picks wouldn't be enough. Kaman's expirer + Aminu + all the picks on earth for Paul + Okafor('s contract)? Meh...

Re: Chris Paul Open to Trade to Magic, Clippers
No player is going to completely alienate his current fan base by saying in front of a camera that he wants a new team without assurance that he's got a new home soon. But on the flipside there's always plenty of bull out there in trade rumorville.

Re: Chris Paul Open to Trade to Magic, Clippers
the media is trying to string NBA fans along with conjecture like they did with the Melo drama. this is the type of news that would make Clippersfan go bonkers and make another thread. I honestly don't give a f*ck what the media says until they officially declare a trade Originally Posted by NugzFan

Eric Gordon + Chris Kaman + Minnesota Timberwolves 1st round pick sounds like a fair deal. Originally Posted by InspiredLebowski

Re: Chris Paul Open to Trade to Magic, Clippers
If the Clips are willing to base the deal on Gordon and Jordan the Hornets should take it. Originally Posted by InspiredLebowski

Re: Chris Paul Open to Trade to Magic, Clippers
I'd trade Ej with the Picks. CP3 is worth that if you think he'll agree on an extension. Originally Posted by InspiredLebowski

Re: Chris Paul Open to Trade to Magic, Clippers
I feel the only way Howard stays is if Otis somehow manages to pull a Paul trade out of his ass.
Clippers though by far have the best package. They would have to take themselves out of the running for Orlando to have a chance. Maybe the Clippers being in the West would help that out though. I would say the Knicks have the worst package out of the 3 teams.
Should be interesting to see how it plays out.

Re: Chris Paul Open to Trade to Magic, Clippers

Re: Chris Paul Open to Trade to Magic, Clippers
I don't think The Hornets are in a position to drive a hard bargain with anyone. They don't even have an owner, and have no leverage. I think they will get picks and a couple of high risk/high reward prospects, like say an Al Farooq Aminu.

I guess Gilbert Arenas will be a Hornet this year.

Re: Chris Paul Open to Trade to Magic, Clippers
Since I gotta get EJ to Indy somehow...
Gordon + Okafor to Indy, Paul to LAC, Hibbert + Collison + Kaman + Indy 2012 1st + Sota 2012 1st
Hey, it could happen.
