Hornets trade Chris Paul to Clippers for Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, good pick, Aminu

[MooseJuiceBowen]

This is still historic for the Clippers though to get an all time player like Paul paired up with Griffin.

lez be honest.. neither of them are sticking around

Bledsoe is only one of Clips' top five trade assets hekd out of deal. But CP3 opts in for 2012-13, so Clips assured two years of Blake/CP3

Well stern got a much better deal. He is vindicated but this is still collision. Clipps were asleep at the wheel and Mitch was about to pull a fast one lol

i agree. the line up of:

c-griffin
pf-billups
sf-bledsoe
sg-williams
pg-paul

will give teams fits

[qrich]

You guys are getting cp3, cheer the **** up. You now have the most entertaining team in the league, should be able to move one of the pgs is necessary, billups will be playing quite a lot of 2 i imagine.

Paul/Williams/Bledsoe
Billups/Foye?
Butler/?
Griffin/Smith
Jordan/?

Is still a very strong team. How much cap space will you have?

As of now, DC seems to be:

Paul - Mo - Bled
Billups - Foye - Leslie - Warren
Butler - Gomes
Griffin - Thompkins - Cook
Jordan -

Paul opted in for 2013 as well

[DirtySanchez]

OK...why did they pick up Billups?

[Fiasco]

I don't see how the Clippers got raped in that deal, at all. With Baron still on the roster, the Clippers might have lost or won two additional games, thus, throwing them from the 8th worst record, to the 7th or 9th, therefore not making a difference and being stuck with Davis' albatross contract.

Doesn't matter.

In the end they got the 1st Overall and we got a whiny combo guard and a benchwarmer.

[LAClipsFan33]

I'm thinking Caron Butler plays SG if this goes through...

Gomes will still start



f*cking shoot me

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Well, at least the Clippers are a serious contender now.

Way too PGs though, holy crap.

[donald_trump]

clipps have got to be making more trades. they aren't going to be sticking with that point guard rotation.

i think billups goes back to denver or the heat.

Clippers gave up a LOT in this deal, but make no mistake about it. The CLippers have improved and they are a legit playoff team. This deal also probably keep Griffin around when his extension comes up. Expect both Griffin and Deandre to improve and get a ton of easy buckets with CP3. I will miss Gordon and giving up that pick is but Clippers are a complete team and now they have 2 superstars.
