    The Hornets are near a deal to send Chris Paul to the Lakers for Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom, league source tells Y! Sports.

    If Paul has no interest in staying beyond a rental, why sit on our hands? If we can walk away with a top 15 talent then it is a win.

    Pau doesn't have to be the next Hakeem to be a success as a Rocket.

    The Hornets wanted to send CP3 to LA for Gasol and late picks. The Lakers didn't want to give Gasol straight up for CP3 so they contacted Houston to see what they could offer for Gasol. LA likely wanted Patterson (and Budinger) for themselves, and for Houston to send Scola, Martin, and picks to NO.

    aka they got greedy.

    None of it made sense from the start.

    LOL at this rollercoaster... and Bynum > anything the Rockets can offer IMO. But you'd think the Hornets would be able to dump some salary in the deal.

    Whatever happens, the NBA right now is crazy. It's like what happened right after the NFL lockout, but 100 times greater. Seems like the entire NBA is being moved around.
