Chris Paul

Why have the Bobcats not tried to go after Chris Paul? They showed last year they have the weapons to make it to the playoffs with mediocre PG play. If they added GREAT PG play with the addition of Paul then they would be a serious Eastern Conference contender IMO.

Trade for Paul and add Joe Johnson and this team would contend for the Eastern Conference.

Because it would take more than what we have to get him. There's simply no room for him unless they take Tyson Chandler back, and if he opts out then there's ZERO chance that it happens. We can not offer New Orleans a package worthy of Paul that fits financially, and there's really no reason for them to move Paul.

We're not going to sign Joe Johnson either, we've already got a two-guard and we can't add any significant contracts since we're over the salary cap. Take a good look at the team that the Bobcats currently have because that's pretty much what its gonna look like when the season starts. We may have a different PG, maybe a new center, but there's going to be a lot of carry-over.

They have inquired and are probably still trying. A team official was on Mac attack (WFNZ) and although he couldn't say names he did say he'd take the kid out of Wake Forest over the kid out of Kentucky (Wall) when asked which he'd pick. I can't say word for word or anything but Mac phrased the question in such a way as to allow him (Whitfield) to say, without saying that they have had talks about the kid from Wake Forest.

Larry Brown would make Chris Paul a super-duper star. Just imagine that...

^^^^chris paul was sitting with Jordan during the playoffs at the end of the bench...ehh???

He was, and I have no doubt that we're very interested in bringing Chris Paul home. Doesn't mean its close to being logistically possible though. I'd be VERY shocked to see him in a Bobcats uniform anytime in the near future.

NO had their chance to "build around" Paul and came close but no chips. Does anybody think that he wants to break in a new no name coach and start this re-building all over again? THE only reason Shinn came out and said what he did is because the team is for sale and he doesn't want it's most valuable player to walk just yet.

The guy is a free agent next year anyway. They'd better get what they can now.

Chris Paul doesn't have a choice if he gets traded or not, he's signed to a contract. He has no say in his future. And I don't know where you got the idea that he's a free agent next year, Paul is under contract through '11-'12 with a player option for '12-'13.

The team loses value without Paul...tickets, sponsorships, games on tv, etc. Why would Shinn want to lower the value of the team in the middle of a sale? There is NO chance Paul is dealt, even if he would want to be.

If he comes down with the Tyson Chandler syndrome who knows? :D Where there is smoke there is fire. It probably won't happen but at the same time it's not impossible.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
