Celtics, Warriors, Clippers "strongly engaged" in Chris Paul talks

[Roy H.]

New Orleans strongly engaged with Clippers, Warriors and Celtics in trade talks for Chris Paul on Tuesday, league sources tell Y!

Well there you go.  The Clippers can probably put together the best package, if the Hornets don't care about getting a PG back.  I love Rondo, but Eric Gordon, Eric Bledsoe, and Minnesota's #1 would probably blow our offer out of the water.

Teams are apparently hesistant about Gordon's upcoming RFA though, sounds like he wants to stay in LA and his agent is doing his best to make that happen.

More from Woj:

Paul has indicated Clippers and Warriors could raise chances of keeping him long-term if they sign center Tyson Chandler too, sources say.

Sadly, we're not going to be able to get in on that.

i wonder what boston is kicking in besides rondo

[celticinorlando]

i highly doubt the lakers will get him and howard...

[wontbstopped]

I can see why we'd trade for him, but I still wouldn't do it. Here's hoping the Clippers make a great offer.

[Celtics/Run]

Celtics have the best chance to win now, Paul will have final say.

Only other assets would be picks and maybe sign and trade either Green/Baby.

Probably just picks though.

[celticinorlando]

well if they take this chance...it will be the LAST rodeo...because he won't resign in Boston.....and you are giving up a franchise PG in rondo for a hired gun...

[Lucky17]

Maybe Ainge is shoehorning himself into a deal to get someone else, not CP3.

GState wants to trim a little salary to free up more cap space for Chandler, I've heard.

Hornets have said they like Stephen Curry.

[barefacedmonk]

Celtics can't pull off a trade without involving a 3rd team...not enough assets.

[j804]

I'm not getting it so what would we get? Who's getting Paul?

Hornets would be crazy to not do this deal. Getting Gordon and Bledsoe, ur backcourt be set. And with T-Wolves #1 pick, Davis is probably the top pick. If the draft lottery doesnt fall the Clips way, they still can get Barnes or Sullinger
