Since we're just tossing ideas out there for fun, how about Gerald Wallace and Andre Miller for Chris Paul? You have to think that Paul is likely to stiff the Hornets after next season anyway, so getting Wallace and an expiring contract for him wouldn't be all bad. Toss in a 1st round pick and they might even think about doing it.

Not even for a second... Not that I think Wallace and Miller are much better than CP3; but more importantly CP3 has some of the same physical conditions as Roy. The last thing we need is to trade away arguably our two iron men for another player that is a shell of himself in a couple years.

CP3's knee is an issue and, obviously, the Blazers would need to review all of his medical records and examine him before making a deal. That said, his situation is not identical to Roy's. First, it only involves one knee. Second, only the meniscus on one side of the knee was removed, not both sides like Brandon's. As far as our "iron men" go, remember that Andre is up there in age and would be playing on an ending contract. Wallace is a stud, but he's had his bell rung more times than the hunchback of Notre Dame. Hopefully, he has a lot of seasons left in him, but another whack in the head could change that. Most NBA players have issues. It's a matter of weighing risk vs. potential reward. I think CP3 will regain his shooting touch and most of his quickness as he continues to recover from his surgery, but I'd sure want a bunch of medical opinions before pulling the trigger on a deal like this.

I will say this. If CP3 could be 95% of the CP3 we know and love; I would give up Wallace, Batum, and anyone else besides Aldridge to get him. It would be nice to have a healthy CP3, Aldridge and Oden. Scary actually.

It's not like we're giving any young studs that would be detrimental to our long term plans.

Come on Mags, even if you think this is a terrible trade, why would NO even consider it?

Think LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire... It sucks to be left with nothing when a franchise player decides it's time to move on...which explains why the Jazz were willing to send Deron Williams to the Nets.

Because I think our fan base, team, moral would take a critical hit if he has a Roy type injury.
 
If Boston is swept I could see them blowing it up. KG looks OLD and Pierce and Allen are reaching 34/35 years old.

Hey Boston, we'll give you Oden/Batum/picks for Rondo/filler?

:ghoti:
