    Warriors offer for Chris Paul said to be favored by New Orleans... Warriors would make a deal without a contract guarantee from Paul. >>

    The Warriors are offering:

    To Hornets:
    Stephen Curry
    Klay Thompson
    Ekpe Udoh

    It's hard to compete with that offer. Great trade for the rebuilding Hornets.

    Clippers are active. They have a ton of pieces to trade. Gordon and Jordan for CP3? and then sign Tyson Chandler?

    I went to a few Clipper games last year and both Gordon and Jordon are better than i thought. I would take that if I was NO.

    LA Clippers look like they'll get Caron Butler -- has other meeting scheduled but hearing he was wow'd by Clips situation and offer.

    How are teams offering players? I thought free agency couldn't begin until Friday? Is this a trade?

    Source adamant that Eric Gordon is NOT in Clips' offer to NO for CP3. As Yahoo! reported earlier, LAC, GSW, BOS making strongest pitches.

    Lakers had "cursory" talks today w/ ORL about Dwight Howard, The Times has learned. Translation: Unproductive. No trade proposals exchanged.

    Butler didn't even play when they won the title. Bares and Chandler are replaceable. As long as they have Dirk, Dallas is top 4.

    Hilarious tweet by Bill Simmons:

    Sources say Lakers targeting Blake Griffin, Derrick Rose and LeBron James. Dangling Luke Walton and Steve Blake as bait.

    Felton, Matthews and Batum for Paul.

    Paul, Roy, Wallace, Aldridge and Oden.

    On paper it looks scary (good), on the court it would be scary (bad). That starting line up wouldn't play more than 3 games together all season. At times it would be Aldridge and bench players starting.

    I am not so sure about that. Tyson Chandler seemed to be the missing ingredient from past Maverick teams. He brought that toughness down low. He may be tough to replace.

    According to SI this is what Boston has offered:

    Rajon Rondo
    Avery Bradley
    E'Twaun Moore
    2012 First round pick
    Jeff Green "likely to be part of the deal as well."

    Sounds as if the Warriors and Celtics are offering decent value for CP3. As long as that is the case, his getting traded should be a non-issue. If he gets traded to the Knicks or Lakers for pocket lint - then fans have a right to be upset.

    Why the hell would G.State offer up Curry without a gaurantee from Paul that he'd sign with them?
