CP3 deal to LA dead/Trade Rumors merged Super Thead

Or not:

Chad Ford: Lots of speculation that Emeka Okafor is in the new CP3 deal. Source says he is not part of trade

Does that mean the Hornets are trying to flip O'Neal to the Lakers instead?

How long until we find out that the Lakers are actually getting David West back in the deal as a S&T?

That's what my original thinking was.  He would seem to fill the hole in salaries.

Now if the Lakers get Paul but lose Bynum and Pau with only Odom left as a big, how do we feel?

id be okay with that. 

paul - bryant - peace - odom - okafor is a good team, but maybe not so much better than the lakers were before.

Lol the thunder and grizzlies would take a crap on that team lol. I'm all in favor of Bynum and gasol for Paul but the lakers aren't dumb and that ain't happening.

am the only one who actually thinks Okafor is a stud... a rich  man's Perkins?...

Is he going to LA in the trade or are they just adding a few no-name scrubs and pushing this thing through?

Really hope I am wrong bc there is a tweet on hoopshype twitters from Sam amico that says I might be.

Sam Amico: NBA GM tells me he's heard any deal that delivers Chris Paul to LA must also send Andrew Bynum to NO. "But I'm on outside looking in.

Thanks.

Also this trade works in the trade machine.

Bynum, Martin, and Dagic to hornets

Okafor, scola, and Paul to lakers

Gasol to rockets.

That Lakers will have shot themselves in the foot if they make that deal.

that's really not funny.  i dont' know if i could stomach watching the NBA if the lakers took away both of our major off-season trade targets so far and became better in the process.

okafor's solid, but he's no bynum and he's no gasol.  perkins is a good comparison.  okafor is perkins with a somewhat more refined offensive game.

Demps was born 30 minutes from LA...this is all starting to make sense now.

So wait... "fixing" this deal is about giving more talent to the Lakers than before?  Lol whatever... Chris Paul is underrated on this forum... this is a travesty...
