More likely Gallo will have to be included unless you are telling me that Hornets are prepared to give him $14 million. Hornets are not in the Knicks position and have to have roster space so I don't see how they can take back 4 players and still have room for their draft pick. Chandler and Toney don't make enough to make that deal anywhere near possible. Which is lol because I posted this scenario before with a question about whether people were willing to give up Gallo for Paul.

Too funny. Odds of David Lee agreeing to play in New Orleans are slim too none.

Why? Isn't he from STL? I think he would have a problem because Paul and Okafor would be leaving in the deal.

I'd love that deal.. CP3 in the Garden, That'd be great.. but i just cant see this happening.

Rather than look at CP3 and say "why would they trade their best player" People need to realize that they can get a lot out of a much cheaper player like Collison, who has shown he can really play. NO thinking would be let's keep the cheaper PG even if he's not as good, but he's good enough that we can go ahead with him and get some other players to build a better team. This is exactly the kind of deal many of us have been saying the cap space gives us a chance to do. It's not a pipe dream, it's very possible.

CP3 getting hurt was a blessing in disguise for NO. They got a chance to see that Collison could step in and play well and this means they could survive without CP3 and restructure their team by sending him away now and gaining the cap space they crave so they can rebuild a bit with cheaper players.

Rather than look at CP3 and say "why wouldn't they trade him to the Knicks to unload his salary" People need to realize that they can get a lot more value than what the Knicks have to offer from other teams for a player like CP3, who has shown he is one of the best players in the NBA.

Most teams would have to match salary if they're near or over the cap. Plus how many of those teams would be so willing to take back salary in a cap clearing way as we would? Not many teams have that ability or willingness. How many teams would help their cap situation and not even blink?

We're saying OK we'll take that long Okafor contract off your hands and this way you can restructure your team in a more affordable way for your market. Understand that the Hornets were #23 in he league in attendance. They avg'd about 15,130 per game. They can't do that again plus pay 73 mil and the luxury tax which could be 90 mil for a mediocre team. We help solve their immediate problem more than an exchange of talent would.
