Yup, and Orlando have to most pieces and options to get this done.

I would like paul to go to the magic.. Would be a perfect fit for him.. Chris Paul, Vince Carter and Dwight Howard sounds like a contender for the championship...

[jeebus86]

I assume Vince Carter will be included in the trade because of his expiring contract.

Why would CP3 even mention the Knicks if he didnt prefer them?

Seems weird, but he's probably wising up and realizing that the Knicks are no better then the Hornets.

No matter what team he ends up on they are not going to be able to compete with the Heat or Lakers, even Suns!

the Suns??? Did I miss something or a pick-up. I thought they lost Amare

They did lose Amare, but he didnt do much for the team other then make some nice dunks and score.
As far as rebounding, defense, passing, ball handling, and basketball IQ the Suns didnt lose much.

Now the Suns did pick up Hakim warrick, Hedo Turkoglu, and Josh Childress. I know, no Lebron, Dirk, Joe Johnson, or Wade but those 3 fit our team chemistry and are solid vets.
The Suns have to be one of the deepest teams in the NBA now, next to the Lake Show.

Also, the Suns 2nd round pick up Gani Lawal has looked solid during Summer League games and seems to be exactly what the Suns need in the frontcourt.

I know Amare is considered a great player, but without Nash he will certainly have issues scoring. Amare is praying CP3 will join him in NY, otherwise he will be playing for a 30-52 team.

not sure about that one. I know Nash is one of the best but they have no size at all now.

No size??? check out the line-up :

Robin Lopez 7'0ft
Hakim Warrick 6'9 but play has crazy wingspan
Channing Frye 6'11
Gani Lawal 6'9 250lbs
Earl Clark 6'10
Hedo turkoglu 6'10
Jarron Collins 6'11 (probably going to re-sign)

Everybody else (Dudley, Grant Hill, J Richardson etc) is 6'6 - 6'8.
Nash and Dragic are 6'3 and they are the 2 smallest players.

Im not worried for the Suns. Shaq didnt even get them to the playoffs, so its not always about height with this group.
