QuoteClippers aren't bidding against another team. They're bidding vs. Stern's ego. Only way to win this is by threatening to walk awayQuoteRemember when David Stern warned of a nuclear winter? Well, he's creating one all by himself@ramonashelburne

The Hornets-Clippers deal for Chris Paul has died, league source tells Y! Sports.

Deal is dead, "for now, anyway," source tells Y!.Could still be restructured again, but Clippers resisting steep asking price for Paul.
All I can offer at this point in CP3-to-Clippers talks comes from source close to situation: "This is a circus."

chris paul will not be traded to anyone. he will play out the season in NO...IMO
The NBA has been been running the trade talks for Paul, usurping the power of general manager Dell Demps. The league took over the Hornets in December, and are angling to maintain value to sell the franchise for the highest possible price.
