How far would you go for CP3 (With a Poll)

[Trader Ed]

Paul and Okafor for Batum, Camby, Bayless, Joel and Rudy, multiiple draft picks and cash

No Aldridge.. they already have West
No Oden...

actually they are in a pickle... we are doing them a favor by taking on Okafor as is. They get greedy... I say go for Parker or Ellis

I did the second top choice. I might have done one of the LA ones except it was below Oden and how this was worded it would mean I was willing to give up Oden which I'm not.

Why not trade Miller, Rudy, Bayless and Camby for Wall and Hinrich, saving JPEC for the trade deadline? JPEC could be used to trade for Okafur so we'd have a back up big?

Because we're saving Rudy for a straight-up swap to get LeBron James.

Screw that, Rudy is worth WAY more. I'd want them to at LEAST throw in Bosh.

Rudy is worth a lot more than that!

 

[kobeownslebron]

I take that back I ain't trading one of the best bigman in Bynum for a PG.

In order of expendability, this is how I would make the big 4 available to get Paul (Obviously, every other tradeable asset the Blazers have is on the table):

Aldridge
Batum
Roy

Notice Oden isn't on the list. If we have to gut the team and give up Oden, without whom we aren't winning a championship in the near future even with Paul, what would be the point?

I would trade Oden only if we retained Batum, Roy and Aldridge. No rookies with good upside like Williams pure unadulterated filler with the most talent added AMEC.

This would be the max. I only add bayless because it is CP3 and we need to consolidate.

Really though I'd rather do this which I think is more likely actually:

[RagingBull04]

I didn't find a respoonse I liked. Everyone except Oden is moveable. That includes Roy and LMA. I wouldn't move both of them. I would move one of them in an attempt to get Chris. But the preferable scenario is

Joel, Andre, Nic, Jerryd Bayless, Rudy and Camby

For

Paul

Posey

Okafor.

 

[Entity]

We couldn't move Roy and Aldridge and keep Paul after his two years were up. He wouldn't stay unless we managed to obtain a couple of players who are already playing like all-stars. We couldn't move Aldridge anyway, unless it were to a third team since the Hornets have West.

 

[inconceivable]

Keep BRoy, GO, & one of Batum/LA. The can have any combo of AMEC, JPEC, Rudy, Bayless, one of Batum/LA, Camby, Cunningham, Pendergraph, whoever else is tradeable for CP3 + other players that will make it work
