Hypothetical: would you trade Chris Paul?
Sorry to barge into this forum, but i've been having a discussion on whether or not the Hornets would possibly consider trading Chris Paul for *ANYONE* in the league. I was thinking Kirk Hinrich + Ben Gordon mike be do-able, or maybe Brandon Roy + LeMarcus Aldridge.
Just wanted to see if Hornets fans could come up with any possible package that you'd trade Chris Paul for.

Re: Hypothetical: would you trade Chris Paul?
Without reading who we can possibly trade him for, my answer is NO. If it was my decision I wouldn't trade him for Lebron, D-Wade, Kobe or any other player in the league. Others might feel differently, but he bring a lot more to this team than what you see on the basketball court.

Re: Hypothetical: would you trade Chris Paul?
Its not out of the question I think, considering this franchise has traded or let go of every icon associated with this team. Mourning, LJ, BDiddy, Muggsy... so unless Paul's on his way to becoming the greatest face of the Franchinse history (which also isn't out of the question), who knows.

Wow, not even Lebron? That's pretty shocking to hear.

Would Cavs fans trade Lebron for Paul?

So the Hornets are the only team that has done such a thing I guess?

Re: Hypothetical: would you trade Chris Paul?
Both of those trades are absurd.Hinrich and Gordon or Roy and Aldridge.I hope that was a joke,otherwise you have problems.So far this year Paul has been one of the absolute best players in the league and he's not going to turn 23 until May 6th of next year.
When you look at the whole picture Paul is probably one of the two or three most valuable players in the league as a piece of a trade.He's a true superstar at a very young age and absolutely perfect to build a team around because he makes the game easier for everyone else on the team.If you traded him straight up for Kobe the team would be worse off.

Yes, I would trade Chris Paul. But Can't do it today because I am too busy trying to find a taker for Ryan Bowen.

Note that all those players were still effective when they were let go. Are the Hornets the only team that let go every icon in their primes? Possibly.

Re: Hypothetical: would you trade Chris Paul?
Alzonzo and Baron Davis both forced the hornets to trade them.Trading Johnson really looked like a good move for awhile.Anthony Mason was a better player in the next couple of years.It was a wash at the worst.Muggsy was 33 years old when he left the Hornets

Re: Hypothetical: would you trade Chris Paul?
I don't care what they did in the past. If you're asking me as a Hornets fan right now this minute, my answer is NO. OP asked if Hornets fans would come up with a possible package that we'd trade Paul for and my answer is NO.

if you wouldn't accept either of those deals, then you don't care about winning basketball games.
