The Draft is about to begin, and then free agency will shortly follow, within a weeks time. The trade scenarios are heating for some players this past few weeks, but none more than the Hornets All-Star point guard Chris Paul.
The ream scenario, is Chris Paul heads to the Orlando Magic in a blockbuster trade that will benefit both teams dramatically.
The blockbuster deal includes: The Orlando Magic will send up and coming point guard Jameer Nelson, scoring machine Vince Carter, defensive specialists Mickael Pietrus, and Matt Barnes to the New Orleans Hornets. The New Orleans Hornets will send perennial point guard, Chris Paul, three-point shooter Peja Stojokovic, and defensive specialist James Posey.
The Case for the New Orleans Hornets
If, and only the Hornets are to trade their franchise player, the Magic will have the best weapons to offer. By adding Jameer Nelson, it gives you flexibility between Nelson, Collison, and Marcus Thornton. This trade allows Collison to be your guy.
Gaining Carter will add you scoring, veteran leadership, and a player to count on in the clutch. Besides, if he does not go well, his $19,000,000 is off the books come next summer, and allow the Hornets to cash in on next year's great free agency class.
The defensive specialists in Barnes and Pietrus will do exactly what they are there to do, play defense. They will help the defense-less Hornets, and hit a lot of threes in the process.
The Case for the Orlando Magic
Here is a trade that can potentially put the Magic over the top come next year. Adding Chris Paul, paring him alongside Dwight Howard, is too much to handle. We all saw what happened when Chris Paul and Tyson Chandler were together.
If Peja is able to somehow bring back the old Peja and hit a trillion threes a game, then he could flourish in the Magic's shoot a billion threes a game, besides he only has one year left in his contract, you might as well use him and his three point shooting abilities.
Lastly, adding Posey will help replace the loss of defensive specialist Barnes and Pietrus. Posey is a very good three point shooter, and will help in the offense as well.
The Verdict
This trade in the end, will benefit both teams. If the Hornets are wanting to rebuild, then they trade their franchise player. The the Magic have the best options for that trade to occur.
They offer a young stretch scoring point guard, a shooting guard who can still score and will give you tonnes of short-term scoring, even if you kick him to the curb come next summer. And then you have two defensive specialists to add to your team.
The Magic will get the player that puts them over the top in, Chris Paul, a player that best fits your system, not named Kyle Korver, in Peja Stojokovic. And you get a defensive specialist who also best fits your offensive tactics.
