With Chauncey Billups getting claimed by the Clippers (THANK GOD HE DIDN'T GO TO MIAMI) it's all coming clearer that this whole Chris Paul to Clippers deal is happening. The Clippers don't want to include PG Eric Bledsoe in the blockbuster trade that would send Eric Gordan, Chris Kaman, Weird name guy and Minnesota's 1st pick (guarenteed top 5 pick in a real strong draft) but now that the Clippers won the 2 million dollar waiver pick and a PG, Bledsoe is now expendable.
I believe David Stern rigged Billups going to the Clippers so the Paul deal will be completed today.
As for the deal, I absolutely love the deal for the Hornets, they get 3 young players and Chris Kaman who is a good big man plus a draft pick that can get you a real good player in a draft full of talent.
For the Clippers, you may get 2 years from Paul who said he will opt in his contract and then Mo Williams, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. I don't know if they will be that much better.
But who knows what is going to happen with Chris Paul, but the league holding up the deal is really fucking up a lot of teams. The held up Lakers deal directly effected the David West deal.
