For the second time in a week we are happy to report that Chris Paul is headed to LA. This time however he’s headed to the Clippers and not the Lakers. The deal is not signed and approved, but the two teams have agreed in principle, and apparently that includes verbal agreement from David Stern himself.
The Los Angeles Clippers have agreed to a deal in principle with the league-owned New Orleans Hornets to acquire guard Chris Paul, according to sources close to the process.
The Clippers, sources said, will send guard Eric Gordon, center Chris Kaman, forward 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.
“I didn’t know it was going to happen. I was told yesterday that it wasn’t going to be done,” Kaman said. “Everybody thought it was nixed, that it was dead. Then I guess something came back up today.
“I don’t know what to expect, I don’t know what to anticipate. I’m just going to try to move forward and play basketball like I’m capable of doing.”(Source)
I can’t wait to see CP3 throwing lobs to Blake Griffin, who is ready to go beast mode again this year. Am I right?
