Talent wise that's a pretty good haul for Chris Paul. Now in terms of the Magic? Bye Dwight.

If Paul lands in LA, we are in bigger danger of losing Dwight. Obviously Dwight would want to join a team with Kobe and Paul, and LA knows how to get things done, unlike Otis. I just hope we will be able to get Ellis or another flat-out stud...

I feel bad for the guys leaving LA... they are going from championships to mosquito bites.

This is really the worst day in my life as a basketball fan ..

Here we are losing a month of basketball because everyone's trying to save the small market teams. And moments after the new CBA is agreed upon, the exact opposite happens. And it will happen again, Dwight will want to go to LA.

I'm so sick & tired of all this. Corruption at the highest level. Why do the small market teams even bother? They get screwed every single time.

This is a sad day for Basketball

RT @AlexKennedyNBA: It sounds like the Lakers had agreed to send Bynum/Odom for CP3 but reneged. Hornets agreed to take Gasol/Odom instead.

You shouldn't feel bad, they won championships.

Woj later corrected himself, saying it was Gasol, not Bynum, in the rumored deal.

Correction: The proposed deal to the Lakers is Chris Paul for Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom, source says.

I don't know. That is a horrible deal for the Hornets in getting two old players past their prime.

Dell Demps must have a gun to his head, a really stupid trade.

It is pretty easy to get things done when the league is in your back pocket.

Otis and the Magic, much like Cuban and the Mavs, have also been the thorn in the NBA's side so I hope they screw up their plans.

For those of you with the D12 + CP3 avatars, I think it would be a good idea to change it. No Magic fan should want Dwight anywhere near CP3 now.

The Hornets should be **** contracted. They traded CP3 to the Lakers for two aging bums?

I freakin' can't believe this.
