yahoo sports says other owners basicley went crazy over the NBA dealing him to the Lakers. This entire situation is a mess.
Anyway, how about what I just read. Knicks getting Tyson Chandler with the plan being to give Amare up for CP3.

If they wouldnt let them trade him to LA what makes you think that they will allow them to trade him to NY? Especially since they have to take back a huge contract?

They would get another superstar in return.

Chandler has been playing for contracts the last two years. Good luck with that guy once he inks a long term deal.

I really agree and Im a Knicks fan. Plus if the NBA wont allow the Hornets to trade Paul why not save your money and try signing him after the seasson?? I read 4 years 50 million for Chandler.

Because teams like NY and LA dont have the cap space to sign Paul without moving other pieces out. I don't like the Chandler deal for the reason that CJ stated and because they have an awful backcourt and no depth and less cap space.

Another factor is Paul can sign for more if he is traded first and then re-signs with his new team. This is why these guys like him and Anthony push for trades.

The last year I was at the FG I went to a few of the games that the Hornets played in NO when they were playing most of the games in OKC. The primary players were Chris Paul and Tyson Chandler. Plenty of seats available and I think they were barely a .500 team.

Seriously? Do you think an NBA operated team is going to take on Amare's contract? This isnt about basketball, it is about money.

I dont know how he doesnt get stuck in NO now. What team is going to deal with NO for Paul not knowing if a. Paul will resign with them or b. risk pissing off core players if the NBA nixes another Paul trade.

If the NBA wont let NO operate like a normal team they should disband them. I'd love to hear what the players association has to say about this.

You mean stuck in NO this year then someone signs him as a free agent, right?
