They have two really good PGs.
Their team needs help in a loaded Wester Conference.
Chris Paul had a tear in his meniscus. Doctors chose to completely remove it rather than try to repair it. I read that generally leads to overcompensating /the other knee,bone on bone grinding and other great stuff.
Despite all that I doubt New Orleans would ever trade Paul but..why not use a nice young asset to get Paul help at other positions (like SF..Peja has been playing well but is getting old) while Paul is still in his prime.
It seems like a waste to have Collison just backing up Paul for the next few seasons when he gets back.
Does this not smell like an opportunity here?
Let's try to elevate the level of discourse in this byeetch. Please
