    Chris Paul to Clippers

    http://www.latimes.com/la-sp-clipper...,1895481.story

    How can this be allowed? Ridiculous. The Lakers should hire lawyers.

    Most corrupt bullshit ever. Stern fukking blows (And I'm not even a Laker fan)

    Good for the Clippers. Two strong LA teams should be fun to watch. Lakers being beaten by the Clippers would be all the more sweeter.

    How is a deal that gives you young talent + an unprotected 1st Rounder from the TIMBERWOLVES in this probably very strong draft worse than a bunch of medicore players with big and long contracts?

    what an awful deal for hornets.

    paul and kaman can leave as free agents after this season so neither will stay. kaman will re-sign with clips but paul wont. so hornets end up with 2 benchwarmers and a mid 1st rounder? how does that help them?

    in the other trade they wouldve got:

    kevin martin 23.5ppg
    luis scola 18.3ppg 8.2rpg
    odom 14.4ppg 8.7rpg (6th man of the year)

    did buss piss in stern's hair or something????

    Clippers are stupid for making this move if they have any doubt that Paul would not resign with them.

    i dont think its that bad of a trade for the clippers. they will sell more tickets and make the playoffs. then re-sign kaman. so all they lose is a mid 1st rd pick to rent paul for a season.

    Timberwolves draft pick will probably still be a lottery one next year.

    thats prob true. i know lots of experts think 2012 draft will be one of the best but imo it will be bottom 10 in past 20 drafts. there really is no dominant player(s) that makes you salivate. just bunch of ky and unc players who arent that great.

    this is hilarious.

    they are making it way to obvious how badly Stern and Paul both want Paul in a Knicks uniform.

    Sources close to the situation told ESPN.com that the league-owned New Orleans Hornets and the Los Angeles Clippers could not complete their proposed Paul trade because the Clippers ultimately decided the NBA's asking price for the All-Star guard was too high.

    On Thursday, NBA commissioner David Stern vetoed a three-team trade agreement struck by the Hornets, Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets to send Paul to the Lakers.

    At the NBA's direction, sources said, New Orleans was insisting upon the inclusion of both shooting guard Eric Gordon and Minnesota's unprotected 2012 first-round draft choice in addition to former All-Star center Chris Kaman and prospects Al-Farouq Aminu and Eric Bledsoe.

    The Clippers found the demands "too steep," according to one source close to the process, even after Paul told the Clippers he would invoke the 2012-13 option in his contract as part of the trade, ensuring that L.A. would have him next to Blake Griffin for at least two seasons.

    It was not immediately known if the Hornets and Clippers plan to keep discussing a deal for Paul or if the Clippers, like the Lakers before them, are so frustrated they're prepared to walk away.

    they wouldnt give up Kaman, Farouq Aminu and Bledsoe for Paul????




    Clippers would rape Hornets in that deal but yet the word is the asking price is too high.
