"Marc Berman of the New York Post has an idea of who that impact player could be. He cites the New Orleans Hornets as a potential partner in a sign-and-trade deal that could send superstar point guard Chris Paul to the Knicks in exchange for power forward David Lee, a player that Berman writes the Hornets "are in love with."

Trading Paul for Lee sounds like the worst deal since Lloyd traded Harry's van for a motor scooter straight up in Dumb and Dumber, but other factors might be at play. Berman notes that the Hornets could be worried about getting nothing for Paul if he were to leave during 2012 free agency, and Frank Isola of the Daily News mentions the Hornets' financial trouble as another potential factor. And it's also worth mentioning that the Hornets have a security blanket at point guard in rookie Darren Collison. But in all likelihood, the Knicks would have to offer more than just David Lee to secure Paul's services, and they don't have much else to offer right now.

David Lee isn't worth 3 CP3's. MAYBE Collison for Lee, and still that's probably not even enough.

That might be the worst trade in the history of the NBA.

i know it's just probably some guy in NYC trying to sell some papers. And his source is probably his right hand.

But even the thought of it makes me want to flip.

the idea of trading CP3 at all is insane. But for David Lee?!?!??!?!?!?!??

This is about the same as KH saying that Les Miles to Michigan was a done deal. Blowing smoke

This sounds like a Schinn move, not a Chouest move at all.

That seems like a pretty crappy rumor not worthy of a premium account. Chouset has already leaked that he is adamant about building around Paul, and Paul for Lee is retarded. What other pieces do they even have, they stripped down to go after FAs and seem to have given away all their 1st rounders for the foreseeable future.

There is NO truth to this. None.

He's spitballing CP3 because:

Everyone does that. Everyone thinks CP won't re-sign. Everyone thinks the Hornets are in some dire financial straits.

He doesn't talk about sources except to say the Hornets like David Lee. Every team likes David Lee.

Pure speculation based on no fact.

GET USE TO IT. This will be the talk for 2 years, no matter how well the team rebuilds, just like the Lebron/Cleveland situation.

This is what ESPN does best:

1. Riling up the New York market.
2. Throwing shite against the wall and seeing what sticks.
3. Making up shite and then reporting on it (a.k.a. "creating the news")

Most definitely. Paul is supposedly Lebron's best friend in the NBA
