Warriors offering Monta. Clippers not offering Gordon. Celtics offering Rondo and Green. Not really much to be picking from if you're the Hornets.

Clippers = Sleeper team of The NBA.
That Caron Butler move has made them so strong. They have one of the best starting 5's in the league.

12 and 7 is kind of a straw man... Paul averaged 22 and 11.5 in the playoffs last year, shooting 55%. I know this is a matter of opinion, but I just don't believe that scoring PGs make winners in the end. Chris Paul makes everyone on his team better on a Nash-esque level. Hell, he had West as an all star and Chandler pretty close, and a crazy mediocre team making the playoffs consistently.
The Bulls have a great defensive squad but they struggle to get points when they need them. That's because when it comes down to the big games, with the tough defense and preparation (re: playoffs) scoring PGs like Rose become incredibly inefficient options. The guy shot under 40% last year and definitely cost the team some games. I know he won MVP but you can't build a winner around a guy like that.
I guess it happened once with Isaiah....

Has the Tyson Chandler deal been confirmed, or does he still have time to change his mind and take his talents somewhere else?

In Morey we trust?
I think the Rockets have traded away all the players I liked on the team since 2004. No more making fun of Conley from me aka Lowry > Conley. Gluck bruh!

NO gets NY's 2012 via Houston. I ain't eem mad though as that's most likely gonna be a mid round pick.

So, as long as they were trying to land CP3, why wouldn't Boston now offer up Rondo for Dwight and then try to get a Chauncey Billups or Baron Davis or whoever else becomes available to play PG and make one more last run?
Boston is one team that could/should make a move for Dwight without needing a guarantee he stays. Their window is just about shut, he'd leave it open for one more year.
Rondo/Jermaine O'Neal/Clippers 1st round pick + C's 1st rnd pick or future pick
for
Dwight
So long as Danny Ainge has some balls, who says no?

ive always said it makes no sense that a team that the NBA owns can trade him ANYWHERE.
it's a conflict of interest, and i'm sure a bunch of owners are pissed off about it.
at least when the lakers get dwight too, lebron wont ever get a ring. this is all his fault anyway

You cant build a winner around Paul either, as the Hornets have demonstrated the past 6 years.
The Bulls need another scorer and A Rose will dominate the ball less , B his shot selection will improve, C the flow will be better.
They will throttle down in the regular season. Noah and Boozer wont be hurt. Rose wont wear those terrible shoes that made him sprain his ankle. Get a shooting guard and make a move.

Forgot all about the NBA owning the Hornets. Doesn't hold much water though

Everybody would... Thats why Paul was always getting done first. At least if you make me take Okafor back I got another at worse rotational big. Hedu needs the ball and is an ineffective defender.

Someone is going to have to absorb Hedo's or Gilbert's contract in order to get Howard.
Hoping the Lakers can pry Emeka from NO too so he can be another piece to a potential D12 trade
