After playing "ring around the rosy" for the past week and a half, the Hornets finally, officially deal Chris Paul to the L.A. Clippers for G Eric Bledsoe, C Chris Kaman, F Al-Farouq Aminu and a 2012 first round draft pick. What does this mean for Clippers fans?? A four time all-star point guard running with Blake Griffin, while Caron Butler is slashing, De'Andre Jordan is swatting shots and catching lobs with Mr. big shot,Chauncey Billups, knocking down daggers in crunch time. This gives a very athletic, talented and now champion veteran lead squad, a highly skilled PG at the helm. I still feel like they gave up a bit too much to make this happen, but even after the fact, they could be a serious problem. Should Lakers fans be a little salty? No question. As bad as the Lakers need a point guard, their arena mates receive Billups and Paul on consecutive days, right in front of them. All the Lakers have done is lost a very important piece to their recent back to back championship squad. Why did Stern block the Lakers deal with Paul but approve the Clippers deal with Paul? Are the Hornets that much better after this trade than they would have been after the Laker trade? I don't think so. Kobe is probably getting a little disturbed. It probably doesn't help that he is dealing with a new coach who is inserting a new system and he just loss Lamar. The Lakers better do something and fast. Congrats to the Clippers!! All eyes on the Clipps now....
