Rumor about a Tony for Chris Paul swap on hoops world. Not happening. But, am curious, if true, about its implications on Tony's psyche.

Perhaps the Spurs think that the new version of the team would benefit more from having a PG who is a great passer than they do from Tony’s game. Even if that’s not it, Paul can score just as much as Tony does, too. I don’t think it should affect Tony too much, he knows that Paul is probably the best point in the league.

The Spurs - now playing like sh*t again!

First of all, it being hoopsworld, I really doubt this is true.

But if it is, what you say is true. If Tony can do it, pretty sure Paul can. I do remember though that Tony was really driven when FO went after Kidd long ago, when Tony was still close to a rookie. So FO showing interest in Paul now, I don’t know. It might not affect his on court game. And maybe it will piss him off and he will be more deadly for us. :P

I would love that trade, but is not happening, I don’t think the Hornet’s FO is that stupid.

WTF? the Lakers want Bosh, they may get him for Vulacic

Why the hell would they want more frontcourt help? That doesn’t even make sense.

It is a swap of Bynum for Bosh. I would do it I think.

It would be a nightmare for the rest of the league, and maybe not even good in terms of overall NBA appeal to fans since competition will be dead if that happens. But the Lakers won’t do it unless Bosh commits to extension etc I suppose. I really wonder what the Raptors have decided. In all likelihood, Bosh is outta there. Do they really wanna lose him with no returns.

Im so NOT buying the Bosh to LA tale…

Im really sure Bosh would want to go to LA to be third fiddle. Dont think so…

...Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is forty five.

I’m not buying any of the nonsense…
