CP3 deal to LA dead/Trade Rumors merged Super Thead

[barefacedmonk]

The Lakers backed out of the deal when the "new price (was) too high," source says.

Just to throw it out there, Rondo/Bradley/JO/Vet minimum should be enough to take back Paul and West.

Lakers have clearly made decision to focus on trying to acquire Dwight Howard. Lining up rest of their assets to duel New Jersey for DH12

Here's problem for New Orleans now. Just asked executive on team with interest in Chris Paul if they'll get involved now.

Front office executive on re-entering CP3 derby: "My initial reaction is, 'Who wants to go through that headache with the NBA playing God?'"

Imagine the turn of events? We get CP3 and Nets get DH12?

I would cry.

That would be the end to an absolute PERFECT off season. I would love to see LA left holding an empty bag and being even worse off then they were last year with losing Odom for nothing.

LA can fight it out for Howard now...but at least its not CP3 + Howard like I feared.

[GMoney]

Huh? Where do you get that we're sending Rondo to the Lakers?

The #Celtics are expected to resume CP3 pursuit now that deal to the #Lakers has died.

I was way happier hearing about the west for JO+whatever deal, than the cp3 for Rondo deal.  As frustrating as Rondo can be, I would def. miss him.  I could care less about JO or any of the rookies.  I just wish we could get some resolution on west.

I despise Paul. I think with out current lineup we can easily win a title barring injury problems.

If we ship Rondo just to watch Paul whine and flop for 66 games, I'm going to vomit.

[barefacedmonk]

If we do make another offer for CP3, we can't include Green, right?

Rondo + JO + Bradley + JJJ + Clips #1?

[YouGotRondo d]

If the package the Hornets were getting wasn't good enough, why on earth would Rondo + picks + scrubs be more enticing?

Just because of the youth factor? Honest question, not trying to be condescending.
