I'm surprised a 3rd team wasn't involved. I assumed New Orleans would have pressed the reset button 100 times.

To me, I have heard all kinds of reports that its Pau, but also heard some saying it's Bynum instead of Pau. So that's something to keep an eye on.
Also reports that it's a three team with Houston still. No one knows! But apparently it's done.

More than terrible. That's f**king disgusting. If its true, the NBA just gifted the Lakers a superstar.

Hornets working to finalize details on 3-team deal to send Chris Paul to Lakers, Gasol to Rockets and Odom, KMart, Scola to NO, sources say.
Woj corrected himself. Poor Pau.

I hope Cp3's knees are as bad as Roy's. Supposedly he had the same surgery. Last year he wasn't near the same player as he was in 08-09/

Minnesota and other teams easily could have pulled off a better package, but we're not the top destination. Really what's the point of being the best if you force trades to certain teams?
It doesn't bother me as much as it should because I've grown to accept it for what it is.

Lets just hope Bynum doesn't get traded to Orlando.

I don't see why NOH does that. They take A LOT of salary back....they have no PG really now do they?
?-Martin-Ariza-Gasol-Okafor with Odom is a 6th man is still a pretty good team though.

hornets have to send someone else out to salary match, even with new rules.
16.4 going out and 29 mil coming in.
They have 10 mil in cap room without amnestying anyone.
Why are hornets taking on salary here?

Good news for Pacers fans: Hornets would need to renounce David West to make this trade work as reported.

Source confirms reports that Paul appears headed to Lakers in 3-way deal with Houston. Gasol to Rox, Odom, Martin, Scola and Dragic to NO.
I'm starting to think Twitter is not a good way to break news.

If the Lakers are going to get Dwight, we might as well get involved in the 3 team deal and go after Bynum. Yeah he's had injuries...but he's the kind of player we need to take a chance on, young, probably the 2nd best center when he plays, huge, great defender.
If it costs Derrick Williams, I'd be okay with that...although I'm not real sold as Beasley SF of the future.

Cut out the Lakers, rent Dwight for a year, go after Iggy and Monta Ellis as supporting pieces...run a lineup of Dwight/Love/Iggy/Ellis/Rubio and see if Dwight resigns.

Because they've already brought the lube and got into position, why not take some extra salary on while they're at it?
