New Orleans strongly engaged with Clippers, Warriors and Celtics in trade talks for Chris Paul on Tuesday, league sources tell Y!


Paul has indicated Clippers and Warriors could raise chances of keeping him long-term if they sign center Tyson Chandler too, sources say.

Warriors and Clippers ^_^

I really want to know, why does nobody want to play in Boston?

Its not like GS is a better basketball town, nor do they have better pieces to win it all than Boston does.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

The Clippers' opening salvo was an offer that included Eric Gordon and restricted free agent DeAndre Jordan, with L.A. hoping that the prospect of playing with electrifying forward Blake Griffin and the big stage of Los Angeles would be enticing enough to Paul that he would eventually commit to the team long term.

The details of offers surrounding talks with Dallas and Golden State weren't known, but the Celtics stepped forward with an offer that would not have to come with any commitment from Paul that he'd re-sign with Boston after the season. According to a person familiar with the discussions, the Celtics offered Rajon Rondo, two future first-round picks, and restricted free agent Jeff Green in a sign-and-trade for Paul.

:datass:

Let's here GS offer, that's the one that interests me the most.

 

[bosoxlover12]

oh my god....

Danny Ainge better hope CP3 accepts an extension, because that is a whole fucking lot. Basically if CP3 leaves, we are fucked for the future. (Originally, we wouldnt have given up the picks, and we could start rebuilding if CP3 left. That couldnt happen anymore)

 

[bosoxlover12]

And there is no chance New Orleans passes down that offer, if that is indeed it. They wont find more value than that anywhere.

 

[.infamous]

damn boston going all in. If he didnt resign :yao:

 

[bosoxlover12]

I truly believe he would re-sign


What places can offer him more money than the Celtics can through BY and max, and still have enough to get Dwight Howard and another max (or two if we waive Pierce)?

 

[The Young One]

Sam Amico tweeted that a NBA GM told him that the Magic would rather let D-12 walk then accept the garbage the lakers would offer..The GM also said nobody wants the lakers old guys.

 

[VC15]

clippers will win a playoff series

........

@MisterRudolph:
Sources have told me that Chris Paul and Dell Demps had a rocky conversation today. Move expected soon, very soon.

@stevekylerNBA:
Sources close to Hornets - Hornets will move Chris Paul "no more games, time to move one... did our best to keep him." -- GSW top the list

GOLDEN STATE!

1. I dont get how GS could possibly put up a better package than Boston could
2. I dont get how Nolafan33 would want the worse package from GS

 

[elcheato]

Stephen Curry + some other young player > Rondo and table scraps

 

[bosoxlover12]

Celtics offered Rondo, Jeff Green, the LAC/MIN 2012 pick, and Bostons 2013 1st

If CP3 doesnt re-sign with Boston, that 2013 1st is gonna be a Top 5 pick.

Plus, who outside Curry could GS ship out? They arent trading Monta Ellis, GS has said that.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

1. I dont get how GS could possibly put up a better package than Boston could
2. I dont get how Nolafan33 would want the worse package from GS

I'd MUCH rather a package of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Dorrell Wright, Ekpe Udoh than Rondo, Jeff Green, and two firsts.

 

[bosoxlover12]

lol alright Mr. Hypocrite.....

BTW Klay and Ekpe are almost worthless, definitely less in value than Bostons picks.

Green>Wright

And Rondo>Curry, plus you've been saying the past few weeks "Monty wants defensive players, not ballhogging shooters"

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Three teams in pursuit of Paul believe the Hornets will push for final offers – and make a decision – by the start of training camp on Friday, front-office sources told Yahoo! Sports. The Clippers’ and Warriors’ packages are the most intriguing to New Orleans general manager Dell Demps, league sources said.

Looks like I'm not the only one.

BTW bosox, GS's owner has said nobody is off limits.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I got the deal from the Hornets guy:

Stephen Curry
Klay Thompson
Dorrell Wright
Ekpe Udoh
Louis Amundson

For

Chris Paul
Quincy Pondexter

 

[bosoxlover12]

What I dont get, is why would Golden State even make this deal? I truly doubt CP3 would stay in Golden State when the next best player around him is ballhogging Monta Ellis
