david stern has handled this situation very badly but if he really wants to help save the hornets roster and sell the team for the highest price then he needs to set up the celtics offer again (hornets should accept r.rondo and j.green straight up for c.paul and if you can get a 1st rounder out of it its just a bonus)
what package is better for the hornets in exchange for chris paul
k.martin 12.0m,12.9m,
what package is better for the hornets in exchange for chris paul
k.martin 12.0m,12.9m,
l.scola 8.5m,9.4m,10.2m,11.0m,
l.odom 8.9m,8.2m and
g.dragic 2.1m = 31.5m
or
r.rondo (10m,11m,12m,13m),
or
r.rondo (10m,11m,12m,13m),
j.green (6m exp) and
d.west (FREE agent 10 million per)
= 26m against the cap + approx 5.5m saved
d.west is included as the lakers/rockets package costs a hell of a lot more against against the cap and this gives a more complete comparison
the hornets could build the team around rondo and west with plenty of money under the cap for next year (amnesty e.okafor)
the hornets would be worth more to a potential owner if he has rondo (4 guaranteed years at a very favourable contract for the team) and west to build around with lots of cap room coming up next year
celtics will take the risk on CP3 by giving up r.rondo/j.green because if they cant resign CP3 at the end of the year nearly everyone is out of contract
p.pierce 16.8m, a.bradley 1.6m are the only ones under contact (except rondo) so the celtics could then sign 2 max free agents next to pierce if they wanted
if the lakers/rockets/hornets deal is fixed up
the talent exchanged is fair but the hornets need to save more money from the deal though (and other owners want the lakers spending more money on luxury tax, not saving millions and millions when they get a superstar as well) so the lakers need to take on e.okafor (hornets: the franchise will be worth more without bad contracts) the lakers would accept the froncourt help but would want to offload a contract like s.blake (4m,4m,4m) or l.walton (5.6m,6.1m) to the hornets
imo the lakers would be better off moving bynum instead of gasol in the deal (dont think the rockets would like it though as bynum is useless alot of the time)
andrew bynum = mr durable?

LAKERS starting 5 : c.paul/k.bryant/r.artest/p.gasol/e.okafor (thats what i would aim for if i was the lakers and d.howard was out of the picture, he would be a priority over CP3 every single time for me)
