Bynum or Rondo. frick that. frick that.

Get Gordon and that Wolves pick. The end.

I blame horrid ownership and shut management, not Paul.

Now, let's get the best deal possible.



This about sums it up.

I'm ready for Tankapaloooza 2012. Have 2 lottery picks with Gordon and do work.

I don't know if the Clippers are willing to give up Gordon, although I'd love to get him.

I'd like a package of Bledsoe, Aminu, DeAndre Jordan, and Kaman and Mo Williams(for money purposes), along with the TWolves 1st.

Give them CP3, Okafor, and Ariza. They would have a starting 5 of CP3, Gordon, Ariza, Griffin, and Okafor. Pretty impressive

We'd be completely rebuilding, with young talent like Bledsoe, Aminu, Jordan, and 2 top 5 lottery picks for next season (assuming we and the TWolves suck this year)

While I may agree, there are far too many "Hornets fans" in this area that have only one real connection to this team....and that is CP3

IT makes you wonder how many fans really love the team and will stick it out even through rebuilding

And to FunBunch too..i'm all about the rebranding, and I hope the fans get on board. I hope part of that rebranding comes with changing the name of the team. I know it's been said 100 million times before, but Hornets has nothing to do with NOLA or Louisiana. They need to get the name changed when new ownership takes over to show it's really a new era.

If Paul wants out, and I hope that he's candid with Monty when they are able to meet up again and talk, the above quote is the mindset needed in the front office

Because he clearly half assed it last season. If you want to leave, just say it. Don't be a punk arse bitch about it.

The Clippers are the best option. If we can get their pick from Minny and Eric Gordon, I'd jizz in a cup and mail it to Demps.

There are ways to do things and there are assine ways to go about things and Chris Paul & his entourage have taken the assine route. His brand value shot itself in the arse with his my way or the highway routine. He won't last the season regardless of the team he chooses because he is a marked man in the NBA right now by other players. He is destined to get a serious injury this year. Hornets need to get rid of this Pox ASAP before we get absolutely nothing from this LeBron-lite wanna be.

If we trade him to the Knicks, lakers, Celtics for the absolute garbage they have to offer, I will be fricking furious. That, not losing CP, would hurt my fanhood.

I'm scared they are going to make a deal to stay competitive, not rebuild.

That's idiotic. Maybe someone would have been pissed enough if the season had been lost because the union held out for Paul's benefit, but the season wasn't lost so I don't think he'll be getting the Nancy Kerrigan treatment anytime soon.

They really need to get ownership sorted out ASAP so Demps has an idea of what to do. He may well feel his best chance to keep his job or get his next job is to stay competitive which would be a mistake with the 2012 draft looking stacked.

And in America I have every right to call Chris Paul a front-running cockbag for doing so. God Bless America!

Extend and trade is much more limited in the proposed CBA.

If he were willing to sign a big extension, that ups his value tremendously doesnt it?

All signs point to him not cooperating, however.
