Chris Paul Finally Traded To The Clippers

Check out this picture of Chris Paul fleeing New Orleans for L.A. and Blake Griffin, doesn't he look ecstatic? (Okay, okay, that's not really a picture of CP3 headed to Cali on foot, but it sure it fun to pretend like it is.)

Anyway, as you've all heard by now, the Hornets and Clippers came to an agreement to send Chris Paul to L.A. in exchange for Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, Al-Farouq Aminu, and Minnesota's 2012 first-round draft pick. Not a bad haul for the owner-less Hornets.

Now, I'm not quite sure how this is a better deal than the one that would've sent him to the Lakers, but at least David Stern could veto this trade at any minute.
