Is this maybe now a real possibility?

I would do it, and it's not because Roy isn't awesome... he is.

Chris Paul is just awesomer.

I tried that, and I couldn't figure out how to take that much cash back without adding in another expensive player going back. I guess in the grand scheme of things Prz going back to the Hornets would be better for them than paying Peja, so perhaps that'd work. Still, I obviously agree; I don't think they'll consider trading Paul until they don't have a choice. Unfortunately for them, I figure that day is coming sooner or later.

Man I wish a deal like you put down would work for the Hornets.

The Blazers would be kinda good.

the poll and the thread question pose very different questions

I'd think the goal should be trying to get Paul without giving up Roy. Offer them everything but the kitchen sink.

Paul, Posey, Butler
for
Rudy, Bayless, Batum, Outlaw, Webster, Blake

At the end of the day, you still have
1- Paul
2- Roy, Butler
3- Posey
4- LMA
5- Oden, Pryz

Fill in depth with whomever will take the league minimum a la the Celtics and enjoy the ride.

I don't know if the Hornets are that desperate yet, but they've got to be at least contemplating such a move in the back of their minds.

New Orleans would LOL at that offer, and say, "You want Chris Paul for Rudy Fernandez and assorted junk?"

If the Blazers were serious about getting Paul without giving up Roy, they'd have to include both Aldridge and Oden in the trade at a minimum. Probably Rudy too.

and Bayless & Rudy + CPaul seems >>> then Roy + those same two chemistry/fit wise. I'm not complaining about what Portland has, but there is almost always some some bright green grass to admire beyond the fence
