Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
ESPN sources: Clippers and NBA-owned Hornets have agreed to Chris Paul deal in principle. Gordon, Kaman, Aminu and Minnesota pick to Hornets

 

[PapaG]

Cool. It's kind of nice seeing the Clippers actually make a move to get better.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

fuck that is alot to give up, good for the hornets

Doesn't Paul and Roy have the same meniscus problem?

 

[Pinwheel1]

As I mentioned in another thread I go to quite a few Clipper games. Gordon will be a huge loss. If this goes through the Hornets certainly got value.

 

[THE HCP]

I think it's a great move for the Clips IF............... he doesn't bounce next summer. Sterling will never give him a max deal!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

See - David Stern is a GREAT GM! THAT'S how you punk the other team.

 

[THE HCP]

So do they start Chauncy AND CP3? They will be tough this year!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Doesn't Paul and Roy have the same meniscus problem?

Yup!

 

[Ghost Pepper]

Right now Kobe just told the entire Laker staff to go fuck themselves! HAHAHA!

 

[magnifier661]

Great move by both sides IMO, especially if Paul holds up. He doesn't have degenerative knees like Roy, so his condition is not as severe.

 

[ironcrotch]

Doesn't Paul and Roy have the same meniscus problem?

I think it's only one knee.

 

[THE HCP]

Right now Kobe just told the entire Laker staff to go fuck themselves! HAHAHA!

You're right, he probably did....... and he still hasn't even heard about the trade yet!

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Lakersground.net think their offer was far better. Of course they would. Three old guys + mediocre prospects/picks doesn't even come close to Gordon/MN pick.

 

[magnifier661]

Right now Kobe just told the entire Laker staff to go fuck themselves! HAHAHA!

Now all we need is for Howard to either decide to stay in Orlando or they make that deal with new jersy. Then lakers are fucked.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Mo williams could be available. But I still want to see Smith get the minutes.

 

[HailBlazers]

Cool

I think CP3 will look good in a clippers jersey, can't say their team will be any good though without Kaman their only 7 footer.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

fuck, the tickets I was eyeing on stubhub for the 1/1 game went from $111 to $199 within the hour. :MARIS61:

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Still shocked that the Hornets got that much out of Paul. He and Griffin are going to be very fun to watch.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

The bandwagon hopping in LA is going to be rampant.

Over-the-hill Kobe and Pau or Prime CP3/Blake?

 

[THE HCP]

Now my boy Coach Monty can get down to business!

 

[RoyToy]

I'm all for Mo Williams

 

[THE HCP]

The first Laker/Clipper game is gonna be DOPE!

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

this is for all you people that said "that's the best deal they could get, nothing will ever come up that's better".

 

[Draco]

I think it's only one knee.

Yes and I believe CP3 only had a partial removal, like Roy had back at UW, so Paul has at least a few years before that knee gets worse. It could be only 2 years until it really acts up for him but it could be 15 years and not effect his playing career much at all.

 

[Ghost Pepper]

Yes an undersized PG in Paul and an undersized PF in Griffin.... They may be able to get up and down the court but their defense will be laughable....

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

Of note is that no one from the Clippers has been amnestied, so they could use it on Mo Williams and the biggest contract would be that of an extended Paul. They have few assets left, but could make a run at Howard.

No shit. A Rose Bowl ticket and a Blazer ticket in the same weekend just got tougher.
