David Stern will only approve the @CP3 trade if the Hornets get Tebow.

The league wants the clippers to add Bledsoe...Broussard is saying Gordon is in the deal and Wojina is saying he is not.

But Broussard is saying Clippers only keeping it a secret because they dont want a lamar odom situation happening to them

Clipper are giving up too much if Gordon is in the deal! Give Bledsoe as I much I love that kid potential game

I don't get it? Why keep Bledsoe when your getting Paul? Bledsoe has a chance being a better player than Gordon or Paul but that might not happen for another 3-4yrs and that's a long time in nba yrs! Lol

But you're the Clippers, whats another 3-4 years of mediocrity.

Per a source who has been briefed on NO-LAC negotiations, the Hornets have to choose between the Minnesota pick and Gordon. Can't have both.

Just do the move clippers...

Dude I said that yesterday but you were all for it! The Hornets are asking for way to much for Paul and the Clippers are crazy to do this deal because Paul may not even be healther with his gimpy knee. You are giving up two all stars in Gordon and Kaman PLUS a lottery pick because Minny is going to suck again this year for a good all star in Paul. It's way to much.

I'm NOT happy with the Odom-to-Mavs trade. Yes, I understand that Lakers wanted to throw everything into the trade for Howard, but right now they are not even guaranteed to get him because Nets seemed to have a higher chance to land Howard, and I heard a rumor that Magic wanted Lakers to throw in Gasol in addition to Byrum and the extra picks they received from the Odom deal. If Lakers say yes to that proposal, it would mean that they essentially traded Odom, Bynum, and Gasol for one Howard. Howard may be a great player and the best center in the NBA, but he does not worth that much.

Btw, if Lakers went through all these trouble and even dealt Odom, but came away empty-handed, then someone has to be held accountable for all these.

 

[WalkingDeadMike]

Odom requested to be traded after the nixed deal for Paul.

 

[Raiden]

I know that, but that doesn't mean Lakers should trade him to the Mavs, or wait until a better trade proposal comes up. Odom is a player who wanted to feel loved or wanted, and Lakers could've asked Kobe or Fisher to talk him out of it. Anyway, right now for Lakers it's Howard or bust, and I hope it's the former.

Agreed! The Lakers didn't get anything for Odom. They could have gotten way more than what they got from the Mavs. I don't understand that trade at all.

That Odom trade just seemed like a desperate tactic to acquire Howard from Magic, but if Lakers don't get him they'd have Bynum with a history of knee injuries and no one to back him up. Without Odom, Lakers would've had to start Gasol at the 5 and we all know that he isn't cut out for that. It's just that Lakers have put all their eggs in one basket with this trade, and I don't like it at all.

Clippers are refusing New Orleans-NBA steep asking price for Chris Paul, league sources tell Y! Sports. "Deal could be dying," source says.

Most excellent.

I would give props to Clippers for not giving in to NBA/Hornets' demands for this ridiculous deal, because while CP3 is a great player, he's injury-prone and not worth the kind of deal that NBA is asking for him.

 

[Doc Samson]

I hope nobody makes any more offers for Chris, period. Let him walk next season, and lets see Stern sell the team like that. I don't think it's a coincidence Howard is now talking about staying in Orlando this year. Him & CP3 are going to wind up together somewhere most likely, Stern's just cutting his nose to spite his face in the long run

 

[L.A.]

Yes I'm fine with the young core of guys we have on our team! We are playoff bound! Glad this trade didn't happen!
