Houston / LA / Hornets Discuss Paul to Lakers (merged)

[rondohondo]

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

Well, it's been fun guys. 

good lord, if houston does this they are moronic, Pau Gasol? and what else Scola? 1st round and out 2nd round at best.

I am gonna be so p---ed if this happens, Houston has b and c level prospects at best

[Kane3387]

Payback for stealing KG from them I guess. Dang!

[PosImpos]

So much for being interested in this season.

Time to blow it up.

That's precisely what Ainge was going to do, no?

nah, he was trying to give us one last shot.

now who knows what will happen . . . but any hope of more than a 2nd round exit this year just got traded to the Lakers, who now have to be the favorites in the West.

Nobody can really complain about that deal.  Bynum and Odom for Paul is pretty fair and it's arguable better than Rondo, Green and a couple of picks.

Need to read a little closer.  Looks like it's just a two-teamer: Paul for Bynum/Odom

The Hornets have started to inform teams that they're sending Chris Paul to the Lakers for Bynum and Odom, league sources tell Y! Sports.


At least it is more than just Gasol but still...

[TheRev72]

I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

[ManUp]

Someone just told me its a done deal, please say it ain't so.

[jordb2k5]

[Yugocelt]

[dang] it..  God I hate the Lakers

[JOMVP]

Our future is now in the tank.

[dmny5000]

Ugh if it's a Lakers Heat finals now it's gonna suck to have to root for the Heat.

Makes no sense to blow it up now when there's still a chance to compete this year. Is it likely we win it all this year? No. It is possible? Sure.

[PosImpos]

hey guys, at least we got keyon dooling!
