Don't see how we have much choice. I don't see us trading him in the middle of this season or the next. Not when you've already unloaded the fan favorite. Not when you've done everything to get your team playoff ready. All the signals are we're going forward with CP3 in our long term plans.

And again, you think our fans would be, "YAY! We traded the best point guard in the league! Let's buy season tickets so we can watch friggin' 2nd rate players and a likely lottery season!"

Not to mention, we've got the CBA looming. Could change EVERYTHING.

Thats the truth.

And im not for trading him this season

But unless and until the CBA changes everything or Paul signs an extension, there is absolutely no way possible they let him walk for nothing. No way.

As for attendance, imagine what its going to be if we're Cleveland in 2 years. I wouldve been more than happy to get what Denver and Utah got back. Those teams still have solid futures and and solid assets. Thats way more sellable to fans than a starting lineup of Jack,Green,Ariza,Jason Smith and Emeka Okafor

Harris,Favors, and couple of lottery picks is pretty nice. Felton, Chandler, Gallinari, Mozgov, and picks is also pretty good compared to the trash we'd be left with by letting him walk. And Utah got that deal without any guarantee that Willams is even gonna be there longterm
