    Not yet.

    For Blake and Barnes? You really believe that?

    For a trade exception. Which we don't have.

    Yay!

    Or, to put it another way:
    Lakers losing Odom for nothing.
    Hornets losing Chris Paul
    Utah losing Millsap for crap
    Blazers not losing anyone...[size=-3]except by injury[/size]

    Not that the Clippers would do that (or the NBA would accept that), but Orlando would have to be stupid NOT to take that offer (if they have to get rid of Howard).

    No way the Clippers trade Griffin. Sterling loves cheap labor.

    Not believing the Milsap rumor either. I would guess there are lots of teams with better offers than Barnes, Blake, and a late #1.

    More of that Laker entitlement complex.

    A ridiculous rumor and insulting to the Utah Jazz.

    Yes, but it allows MM to complain about his team, so who cares how legit the rumor is.

    The NBA on ESPN @NBAonESPN
    RT @TheAkronHammer: Hasheem Thabeet went from No. 2 overall pick to amnesty waivers in 30 months. That's impressive. >>>>

    Ouch.

    if he cleared waivers, would happily sign him and take a flyer on him. Would prefer him to barron.

    No you wouldn't. Thabeet is that bad. He's on the level of Peter John Ramos and Ha-Seung-Jin bad. He has no feel for the game. It's clearly too fast for him.

    He also has little drive to make himself better. If he ever got good, you could never give him a long term contract. He would never work again.

    I'd prefer wasting a million on him to Barron easily.

    Looks as if Clippers about to get Paul for Gordon/Kaman and change. Trade has been submitted for leagues approval.

    Clippers will make post season now but their depth is questionable to say the least. I wonder if the Hornets are still playoff caliber losing West and Paul? They still have a good roster assuming Landry resigns.

    ESPN reporting that Clippers & Hornets have submitted Paul 2 Clips for Gordon, Kaman, Aminu & 2012 1st round pick deal. League reviewing.

    The PG stockpile continues for the Wolves. Comical.

    From what I've read it's Eric "Bledsoe" not Eric Gordon in the Cp3 package.
