posté par Nicobocker : | Chris Paul to New York Knicks could happen as New Orleans Hornets guard demands trade
DAILY NEWS SPORTS
Chris Paul is demanding a trade and the Knicks are one of his preferred destinations.
According to a CBSsports.com report, Paul has informed the Hornets that he wants move to the Magic, Lakers or Knicks, with hopes of winning a title.
"He wants out," said a person familiar with Paul's exit strategy, according to the report. "He wants to play with another superstar. He wants to follow LeBron's model of teaming up with other great players."
Newly acquired Amar'e Stoudemire represents an enticing teammate to Paul, 25, who earlier this month reportedly toasted to the idea of forming "our own Big Three" with Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony in New York. But the Knicks would have to come up with a good enough offer for the Hornets, who still planned to meet with Paul to sell the direction of a franchise that's rebuilding and failed to make the playoffs last season.
Raymond Felton won't be part of the deal because he just signed as a free agent and can't be traded until December, thus complicating matters if the Hornets are looking for a point guard in return. The young talents acquired from Golden State in the sign-and-trade for David Lee - Anthony Randolph and Kelenna Azubuike - are valuable trade chips for the Knikcs, along with Wilson Chandler.
Since a move to the Lakers wouldn't make much sense for Paul because he'll be stifled in the triangle offense (and it doesn't make sense for the two-time defending champions), it seems the biggest threat to the Knicks is Dwight Howard and the Magic, which advanced the NBA finals in 2009 and last year's Eastern Conference finals.
Mike D'Antoni's offense would certainly suit Paul, but it's unclear whether the Hornets will trade one of the league's best players with two years remaining on his contract.
The Knicks have also been looking to trade for Spurs point guard Tony Parker, a three-time NBA champion. |
