Enough with the LAL/HOU/NOH nonsense... Do this deal instead

[Roy H.]

NOH trades:

Chris Paul
David West (S&T, $8.4 million starting salary)

BOS trades:

Rajon Rondo
Jermaine O'Neal
Avery Bradley
JuJuan Johnson
Sasha Pavlovic (S&T for minimum to make salaries match)
#1 pick

We can no longer include Jeff Green in the deal, so this is about the best we're going to be able to offer.  I still think it gives New Orleans more of a future than the Lakers / Rockets deal.

I'll do that in a heat beat..throw in Moore too if necessary.

[Sketch5]

I think that would be the best trade idea that the C's have been tossing around for the last couple weeks. I'd hate to see Rondo go with what they might line up, could have a 15 APG this year, but Hell so could Paul.


Oh and it would even screw over LA to boot. I think thats worth even just having Paul for a year!

Like your thought, and I and you and danny and everyone on this board does that in less than a heartbeat, but you know that the NOH never do it.

Since they are probably getting JJJ and E'Tuan Moore anyway for West, this in effect gives us CP3 for Rondo, AB and one pick.

Not only do the Hornets say no, if they were to say yes, the league would veto it.

In this scenario, West wouldn't come here in a separate deal then. He and CP3 come as a package.

I hate to see Rondo go but this would be a pretty solid deal for the C's -- much better than what they were getting in the other deal with LA/HOU.  A young all star, 2 solid young prospects and a #1 pick for essentially CP3 and a player they were going to lose anyway in West

Has to be the best trade idea I have heard this entire time of wondering of what's going on with the rumors.

Add Delonte and another player that's a legit center and I think that's a real contender.

Fine, let's fill out the roster for fun: Delonte West, Kwame Brown (for the mini-MLE), Maurice Evans (vet min), Etan Thomas (vet min)*

*This is just for kicks, bc I've always wanted to see him in green.

How's this:  you can waste a roster spot on Etan Thomas, if I can waste one on Ted Nugent.  They're probably about equal on a basketball court right now, and their disparate views would bring political balance.

West, Kwame, and Mo would all be welcome additions, though.

float this on twitter... we can all re-tweet it.  it can catch some waves, getting the national media to buy into it.  danny will hear about it, and then even stern will agree...

all because of celticsblog.

Not buying that deal beats Martin/Odom/Scola.

Maybe not, but it makes the Hornets younger, and gives them increased cap flexibility.  Neither of those things are accomplished by the Martin/Scola/Odom deal.  With this deal, they could properly rebuild, rather than trying to rebuild with high-priced veterans and mediocre draft picks.
