“The Knicks’ offer — and any realistic one — would center on the willingness to absorb the contracts of Emeka Okafor (due $53.2 million over the next four years) and/or Posey (due $13.4 million over the next two seasons). The Knicks, who have a clear need for a defensive center like Okafor and wouldn’t necessarily balk at his contract, also could include the $11.3 million expiring contract of Eddy Curry, $3 million cash and an assortment of young, low-priced players including Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, and some of those acquired in offseason moves (Anthony Randolph, Kelenna Azubuike, Ray Felton) once the window during which they can’t be traded opens. Felton, a free-agent signee, can’t be traded until Dec. 15. The players acquired from Golden State in the sign-and-trade arrangement for David Lee may have a 60-day waiting period depending on how the Knicks consummated the deal.”

I hope.

Today was about ending the public speculation so NO can tell teams they don’t have to trade Paul. Paul and his people will keep quiet for a few weeks to give NO a chance to make their best deal.

Rebecca Haarlow puts on 100 lbs and sings “O Mio Babbino Caro”.

the best course of action for Paul to get out is to be as publically unhappy as possible. He could give a squat what value the hornets get out of him, if he wanted out that would be the tactic.

Playing nice will not get him closer to out.

3 would not break my heart

“A number of sources indicate that Paul and his new group of power brokers at Creative Artists Agency, led by Rose, continue to pull strings behind the scenes.

Meanwhile, the Hornets have been looking at the Magic, Bobcats and Nets as potential trade partners.

New Orleans appears focused on trading Paul to the Eastern Conference, while Paul wants to compete for a championship."

Just maybe. He has some LOYALTY.
