I agree with Cully on this not sure we should pull the trigger on Paul...unless it's it's a Gasol and Artest swap for Paul and Ariza...
Lakers Believed To Be Paul's New Favorite Landing Spot
Dec 07, 2011 11:11 PM EST
The Lakers, Clippers and Warriors are the leading contenders for Chris Paul, according to a source.
Because a trade to the Knicks is highly improbable, Paul's new favorite destination is the Lakers. Either Andrew Bynum or Pau Gasol would be moved to the Hornets as the central aspect of a package for Paul.
A source confirmed that talks between the Warriors and Hornets slowed down on Wednesday. While the Warriors can't offer as good of a chance to win as the Lakers and Clippers, Paul is said to have a lot of respect for new head coach Mark Jackson.

Which means nothing. It's up to New Orleans, not Paul. They're going to send him wherever they can get the better deal for themselves. They, as well as everyone else, know he's going to NY after next season. They're going to get whatever they can get. If LA gives them the best deal, he'll go there...if not, he won't.
A package around Gasol is the best deal...He's a mobil big with a great feathery touch...right up the Hornets alley
Do you really want to give up Gasol for one year with CP3?
The OP gets so giddy about any star name that's ever mentioned in the same sentence with the Lakers. Perhaps he, like the rest of the forum, realizes bone on bone is done on done.

Sources: Paul Won't Commit To Extension With Warriors Or Clippers
Dec 08, 2011 12:09 AM EST
Chris Paul will not commit to signing a contract extension this summer with either the Warriors or Clippers, citing the potential financial ramifications of doing so rather than becoming a free agent and signing a new dea, according to sources.
It is unknown if Paul has a similar reluctance with the Lakers.
While both the Warriors and Clippers understand Paul's position, neither team feels comfortable paying a high price via trade without an assurance.
Paul has only reportedly told the Knicks that he willing to sign an extension after the season.
speaking of bones I hear Luva offered your little Spanish rice a bone she couldn't refuse...
I would prefer Gasol and Dwight with Kobe but Dr. Buss is a high roller...he likes to be thoroughly entertained in his old age...so I'm looking at worst case or best case scenario depending on perspectives..
In a not so perfect world the way it should go down is as follows:
1st package... built around Pau straight up..... or 2nd option Pau and Artest for CP3 and Ariza. I would only trade 1 player for Paul...
2nd package...to Orlando straight up trade Bynum for D12 or Bynum and Odom for D12 and maybe Turk or their point guard
Paul is a star PG.
Is this the "I'm drunk ergo I have a social life" shtick?
As the Ghost of Gashir, you owe it to your fans and the children who look up to you to be straight (not sexually, that's asking too much).
Is it you kissing a guy? That's pretty gross but hey, don't ask don't tell.As the insecure husband that got cheated on, you owe it to us to let us know if she was ing a nlgga.
I don't click links from questionable sources or got Naruto boys.
Either way, I've been around the block a few times, videos don't do much for me. Glad they get you there though, whatever blows your skirt up.
Paul and D12 want to go to a contending team, there are only a few choices out there.
That's what everyone says (contending team). They eventually want to go to a team where they get air time, big names and advertising contracts.
That's code for "show me the money" even in endorsements.
D12 made it very clear he's chasing his ring, CP3 probably is in the same mindset. I think right now the fame and money are second, they seem hungry.
That being said, LAL is just one of the few choices. Knicks seem likely to have a strong go at taking one of them. Not really sure what the Heat could do, but they are mulling the possibility.
Chris Paul. If you have a frontcourt of Howard and Gasol, add Kobe on the wing, then frankly my dear i dont give a who our PG is.
Get Howard. Nothing else matters.
lol at the idiots who wouldn't do a Gasoft for Paul swap.
Gasoft's 18 and 10 isn't that valuable you dimwits.
Lakers would pull the trigger if that deal (Gasoft/Filler for Paul/Filler) was offered in a heartbeat.
Los Angeles Knee Reconstruction Centre is Paul's most likely destination
A good pg isnt a necessity in the nba...if you haven't figured that out by now then try following a different sport.
This deal only makes sense if we get Howard first. Without D12 we'd have a pg with knee issues, a center with knee issues, and a 33-yr old Kobe with knee issues. Watch out NBA!
& it's bad enough that the cream of the NBA free agent crop is Paul & Howard. What makes it an absolute ing hoot--according to Media these two also double as the premier players at their positions.
me.
True, but Howard changes everything for this franchise and ensures our dominance for many years. I know you rag on him for his happy-go-lucky at ude, but if you remember Shaq was also kind of a clown back in his early days. Kobe would set his mind right and he'd become a monster. Dwight gives us hope, Paul gives us jack by himself.
Howard, 7 years in is not accomplished. He's still struggling to put his game together.
He's the epitomy of symbolism over substance. I don't want it.
& Paul, he separated once in his ongoing 6 year pity-party to act like somebody:::this past Spring against us.
