Wojo said that the Hornets were experiencing "trepidation" about a 3 team deal with the Lakers and Rockets. Then, about 8 minutes later, Alex Kennedy said that the Lakers and Hornets agreed on a deal, but the Lakers reneged. He also says Demps is p---ed about it. He doesn't specify whether or not this was a separate deal from the 3 team trade, but interesting nonetheless.

NO doesn't get enough in that deal and neither does Houston.

Ownership could be getting involved at this point, which always can muck things up.

Sounds like the Lakers are the most likely destination at this point however.

Sources close to process say Houston and Lakers constructed CP3 deal. Hornets were never really involved. Hornets had talked only with LA

From Wojo's twitter.

"The Hornets are near a deal to send Chris Paul to the Lakers for Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom, league source tells Y! Sports."

Wow, wojo with the following.

"Correction: The proposed deal to the Lakers is Chris Paul for Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom, source says."

Why, of all teams, had it to be the Lakers? So disgusting.
