If this could happen, I think we should do it. Marc Gasol is a good player and I think he would be happy here. Plus, it would hype up the Lakers/Clippers rivalry.

He nearly averaged Kaman's numbers in his rookie season, and played all 82 games.

Do you guys think they should attempt this trade?

...how would the money work? Plus, why would we kick the team that gave us our bench ( Randolph) in the gut after such a trade? I think that well ran dry once Randolph left LAX. lol

I don't think it would work to be honest. It was more of a respone to phaded 21's quote. Sure it would be nice but i doubt it could be done. Also, I don't think that the Randolph trade was a bad deal for memphis. Character issues aside Randolph was a great scorer and rebounder. He lead the team in scoring and was probably in the top two in rebounds. Up until he was arrested for a D.U.I. he was one of the bright spots in a dismal season (obviously other than Gordan and Jordans rookie campaigns) I understand the move was to give Blake playing time and clear up congestion in the front court, but to be honest he is a good player he just needs to stay out of trouble. So I think the deal benefitted us, but we in no way swindled them

Definetelly a lot of Spanish players have already played in NBA and none has played for us...I'm just starting to feel it's a kind of a complot against me.

Marc is a good player but first I would like to see how Deandre develops since for me it's obvious he has much more upside than Marc.

One question OT

How many years is Dumbleavy under contract?
I know he are under contract this season (2009-2010) and the season 2010-2011.

There's no way that the Hornets trade Paul to us unless Griffin and/or Gordon are involved. I can't believe they are thinking of dumping Okafor if this is true. This is a sure way to blow up the franchise and piss of the star of the team.

The question is how much would you be willing to give up to get Paul. He's a top 5 player in the league and someone to truly build around.

This is big news, but I doubt that their salary dump will include Chris Paul. CP3 is a guy that can turn a franchsie around, and my guess is that they are definitely getting rid of everyone to try and bring in new pieces for Paul. I doubt they are shopping him, and I am in no way up for trading Eric Gordon or Blake Griffin. Anyone else is fair game, but not those two

I don't think they salary dump Paul, but if they trade Okafor for Kenny Thomas's expiring they will have one very upset PG.

Any are you serious that you wouldn't trade Griffin or Gordon for Paul? Sure we have two nice young pieces, but I highly doubt that either of them will ever be on Chris Paul's level.

If ownership is in a salary dump, it's for a reason... They're losing money... Perhaps they're getting rid of overhead to sell the team and move it... They already dumped Rasual, then Scott. If they do, in fact, dump Okafor who knows what they might do next. They're obviously not doing what they're doing for the good of their team in terms of basketball...

A source with knowledge of the situation says the Kings are discussing a trade with New Orleans that would send Kenny Thomas to the Hornets and bring center Emeka Okafor to Sacramento. Sacramento Bee

No deal is imminent and this is merely a discussion between the two sides at this point.


since they are in so much hurry to dump salary, im thinking we can get CP3 from these guys at the right price. we give em camby(expiring), ricky d(expiring), minnys first round pick, our next years first round pick, and thornton. the two first round picks can give em their future franchise players. or instead of the picks, we can give them either EJ or BG. eitehr one of those trades work for me.

let me just say, on the topic of trades in general...i hope we never trade deandre. ever. i don't even care if hes a bust, just keep him here. he's the funniest guy ever, i love reading his journals. if we win, great, but if we lose, like we usually do, nothing cheers me up like a deandre journal. its just nice to know hes a kid out there, and just having fun. he writes his blogs like hes a 9 year old fan. and i mean that in a good way. i love him.

Deandre is a basketball player, not a journalist. He should take care of his game and seize the opportunities because I haven't seen any improvement on his numbers...He's starting to seem a perennial NBA bust

Definetelly now I'd trade him for Marc Gasol. This team needs players who really know to play baskteball more than athletic freaks like Deandre

I'm thinking Al Thornton for Nick Young.

Both guys can score the ball, but don't do much else. They've each kind of warn out their welcome on their respective teams. Al is more of a SF/PF and Young is a SG/SF. Young would seem to fit better with what we already have on this team and he's also younger

all right i got an idea that i'm pretty sure will work.
1) fist, trade baron to the warriors for s-jax. the dude's a great player, is only 31, and is a great locker room guy. he should do well with dunleavy.
2) trade eric gordon, kareem rush, chris kaman and mike dunleavy for lebron. the contracts work out great, and the cavs are getting sick of lebron. also, they want a coach who can run the offense better than brown.
3)trade marcus camby, telfair, smith and ralph lawler for kobe and pau. the lakers can't stand john ireland's play by play, and rumor has it theyve had their eye on ralph for years. theyll finally meet our demands and give us kobe and pau.
4)here's the only part that's a little iffy, but i think it will work. trade al thornton, donald sterling, clipper darryl, and frankie muniz to the 1963 boston celtics for bill russell and red auerbach. most fans don't know this, but doc brown's a clipper fan, so he'd lend us the delorean on this one. only problem is that they might want billy crystal too.
so our lineup would be:
Russell
Griffin
LeBron
S-Jax
Kobe

and Blake on the bench, AND coach Auerbach, who's an improvement over dunleavy. i think this trade could work.
lets do this!!

I trade Camby, Eric Gordon, and Minesota' first pick for Chris Paul. I think people are crazy on this board for refusing to give up Eric Gordon for Chris Paul.

This deal might be fair to New Orleans but I'm not sure. He is Chris Paul.
This trade would give them two promising players and salary cap flexibility.

I'd almost be willing to take a bad contract ot get him.
