I actually believe James and Ourdaywillcome because of the particular article I posted below.

It’s true. The Mavs called the Hornets on Tuesday morning. They offered Erick Dampier’s expiring contract for Chris Paul. Dallas was also willing to include “the kitchen sink’’ – which you can read as everything including Roddy Beaubois and multiple No. 1 picks and cash. The Hornets said “no’’ one final time to the $13 mil of relief Erick Dampier’s expiring contract provides … and Dallas pulled that plug, turning back to its simultaneous talks with Minnesota for Al Jefferson and its talks with Charlotte for Tyson Chandler … pushed one more time for the Wolves to take DUST but not take picks … and then created DUST-for-Chandler.

Dallas Mavericks, New Orleans Hornets, Trade, Chris Paul | share

Folks, I’m almost reluctant to put this into a headline again … I know it tortures you so. … but it’s true: On Tuesday, with the Chandler proposal on the table (having been judged by the Mavs as being superior to the variety of Jefferson proposal), Mavs officials contacted Hornets officials. One last time. New Orleans maintained its summer-long stance on Paul. The Hornets will simply not seriously entertain offers for their superstar point guard. The Mavs tried to convince and cajole and tempt. There is some logic that says a Hornets franchise with some financial issues that is seemingly going nowhere while CP3 makes noises about wanting to bolt should listen. New Orleans did not listen.

You see, we acquired Dampier after the Hornets rejected the Dallas Mavericks pitch to acquire Chris Paul. The article say's the Mavs offered the kitchen sink, unfortuneatley their kitchen sink is no where near ours'. They offered Dampier, Beoabois, and a 1st round pick. Where as we (Bobcats) have an abundance of depth but only three quality starters in Jackson, Wallace, and Thomas. Everyone except those three could be traded which is why I see the Charlotte as a potential landing spot for CP3.

That Lopez / Harris offer sounded tempting that we passed on that leads me to believe something is up!

MJ doesn't count he's a universal figure and I just deal with LB!

But come on, he went to UNC!!!

haha.
