Chris Paul Traded To LA Clippers
Chris Paul was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers and this time it's for real. The New Orleans Hornets traded Chris Paul for guard Eric Gordon, forward Al-Farouq Aminu, center Chris Kaman and a first-round draft choice. Just last week Chris was at the cent of three-team deal that would have sent to the LA Lakers joining Kobe Bryant and co. NBA commissioner David Stern stopped the deal and stated his decision was the best thing for New Orleans Hornets, who's owned by the league.
''I knew we were doing the best thing for New Orleans and
that was my job. You have to stick with what you think
was right. I must confess it wasn't a lot of fun, but I don't get paid
to have fun.''
According to MSN Sports, Paul will have a lot to offer the Clippers:
"The 26-year-old Paul is a four-time All-Star who averaged 18.7 points and 9.8 assists last season, his sixth in the NBA. His move to the Clippers means he'll now be able to lob alley-oop passes to one of the best finishers in the game — one who's famous for dunking over a car. That would be forward Blake Griffin, who averaged 22.5 points and 12.1 rebounds last season, his first as a pro."
Chris Paul will reportedly sign a $100.2 million five-year extension with the Clippers. Nice.
What do you think of the trade?
