Imagine if some of you guys got what you want. Would we have got David West for JO?

It was going to be a three team trade with the Pacers getting Rondo while giving away Darren Collison, Tyler Hansbrough,Brandon Rush and picks. This is what I'm pretty interested in, especially after seeing Rondo's recent performances. Paul George + Rondo + Hibbert would be a pretty strong core for years to come.

What would it be like for us? For the Pacers? For the Hornets?

This.  I doubt that CP3 would have outperformed Rondo in at least the first two games.  Rondo did just about everything that could be done to win those games, except win the games.

I highly doubt there is anything Chris Paul could have done that Rondo didn't in those games. Honestly, he would have done less. It's pretty well known at this point that his assist numbers in NO were artificially inflated, and he admitted that he doesn't play to his all during the regular season to save his knees for the playoffs. I doubt he would have even tried to do a whole lot more.
