ESPN.com:
The Los Angeles Clippers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/lac/los-angeles-clippers) have agreed to a deal in principle with the league-owned New Orleans Hornets (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/no/new-orleans-hornets) to acquire guard Chris Paul (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/2779/chris-paul), according to sources close to the process.

The Clippers, sources said, will send guard Eric Gordon (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3431/eric-gordon), center Chris Kaman (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/1982/chris-kaman), forward Al-Farouq Aminu (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/4248/al-farouq-aminu) and Minnesota's unprotected 2012 first-round pick to the Hornets for Paul.
The Clippers will also receive two future second-round picks, according to sources.
The deal is expected to be approved by the league Wednesday night, sources said.

Am I crazy for thinking Eric Gordon was more valuable than chris paul? Paul has bad knees and is older. I thought Gordon was a star in the making.

It's cool that the team has two players with OKC area ties --- it's where Chris Paul started his career in the NBA... and where Blake should have started his :mad:

Surprised. I thought Eric Gordon was the deal breaker.

But happy Paul did not go to the Lakers.

Speaking of which, where are the Paris Twins (and I don't mean Paris Hilton's Ta Ta's).

Good for Blake, this will mean more exposure for him. Should make the playoffs as well.

Like most female professional players, they play overseas during the WNBA's offseason. I have heard there is actually good money in it, compared to the local game.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He's not crazy. Giving Eric Gordon will be a mistake if/when CP3 gets hurt again. Eric is going to be an AllStar for years to come. However, this is a much better trade than the first version where the Hornets wanted everyone but Griffin.

Chris Paul brings a killer instinct not many players have. Great trade for the Clips

This does change the the West a bit. LAC will now be a pretty decent team. Not great depth but pretty solid.

Donald Sterling... there wouldn't be a nicer owner out there (except perhaps MJ) if this sure-thing blockbuster situation blew up in his face.

The Clippers also signed Chauncey Billups. Their backcourt should be pretty solid with CP3, Billups, Randy Foye and Eric Bledsoe. I guess you could throw Mo Williams and Willie Warren in there too if ya wanted. lol. I'm sure Vinny Del Negro will find some way to f*ck this one up though... He's a TERRIBLE coach.

It'd be good for our local economy... but I wouldn't be sad to see Blake succeed :)
