Of the 2 trades if I was the Hornets I want the Clipper trade all day over the Laker trade. No one in the Laker trade has superstar potential. Gordon could be and that draft pick is going to be very high. My man Harrison Barnes is a stud.

So if they got Kamen, the Islamic guy, Bledsoe and the MN pick who exactly is the superstar? Lets say MN finishes 3rd from last and the pick is #3.
Last 5 years #3 picks
2011-Enes Kanter
2010-Derrick Favors
2009-James Harden
2008-OJ Mayo
2007-Al Horford
2006-Adam Morrison

I dont believe that LA would trade Gordon

Um Gordon and the pick. Especially if its Barnes. I read the trade did not go through because they would not give Bledsoe and Gordon. I also said potential, Gordon is a potential superstar. I think he averaged 23 a game last year.

They arent giving up Gordon and the pick, nor should they. Barnes is not even a college superstar.

Chuck all day on ESPN it was Gordon the pick and the other 2. THe problem was they also wanted Bledsoe. Thats why I said earlier way way to much for the Clippers to give. The Clippers have a chance to build it up like OK City and be very good right away.

It is bullshit. There are 2 big chips, Gordon and the pick. They aren't going to kill the deal over Bledsoe. It is interesting that the league office values youth and picks for NO while trying to strip the Clips of all of their young players with reasonable contracts AND their most valuable pick AND I heard another pick as well. I suppose they dont mind fleecing Donald Sterling.

Like I said I would rather have Gordon, Bledsoe and one of those UNC studs with the pick then Paul. Even if its not a UNC star the draft is loaded, a number of guys who would have been top 10 last year are still in school.

Of course you also have to consider that Paul can be a FA in another year (or 2 if he ok's the option for next year) so the Clippers potentially could be in the same boat as other teams looking to deal guys before they leave

I really love to watch Paul play and think he is a great addition to just about any team but the NBA is being unrealistic here.

This year's draft is much stronger than past years, but of course it is still a gamble.
