It feels like just yesterday we were watching video online of Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan giddily jumping saying “LOB CITY”. The news broke to the team that the improbable had happened. Chris Paul was coming to LA, and not in a gold and purple jersey. In one of the most controversial decisions in NBA history David Stern had vetoed a trade that would send CP3 to the Lakers. GM Neil Olshey saw his opening and swooped in.
Just like that CP was a Clipper and the New Orleans Hornets received Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, and Al-Farouq Aminu.
