Kobe seemed to be a little pissed about the Odom trade.

Probably pissed at the compensation, but not the trade. He knew Odom was going to be traded sooner or later. He was at the airport ready to pick up Chris Paul when the original trade got vetoed.

Chris Paul to the Clippers sounds like it might be close. There are differing reports on whether Eric Gordon is involved. If not, it will be a great deal for LA. Add Paul to Gordon, Griffin, Jordan (assuming the match) and Caron Butler and this team could be a force. Paul might average 15 assists throwing oops to Griffin and Jordan along with Gordon's outside shooting. Depth up front could be a problem, but what a fun team to watch.

Others saying Gordon is included, but Clippers don't want it to be reported in case deal falls through. Stern apparently also wants Bledsoe included. So the Hornets (Stern) want Gordon, Bledsoe, Kaman, Aminu and TWolves unprotected 1st round pick. That's nuts. Paul is great, but you don't trade a full starting lineup for the guy.

If Gordon isn't included, that's an awful deal for the Hornets. I know that people really hate Kevin Martin and Scola on most message boards, but that haul is basically Kaman, who is an oft-injured garbage man, Aminu, who has shown next to nothing (and a player the Clips keep burying with their acquisitons) and Bledsoe (who's hurt now, and has no offensive game) plus a first rounder that could end up in the 5-10 range.

I don't see how the Hornets get better with that. If Gordon is included, yes, if he's not, that's a terrible trade that will have the Hornets with an empty arena and nothing to draw any potential ownership group to it.

that Minny pick and then the Hornets being horrible this season, could end up being two top 5 picks and at least two top 10 lottery picks in a deep upcoming draft.

the potential of having any two of: Harrison Barnes, Anthony Davis, Jared Sullinger, Perry Jones, etc should be very attractive for a small market team that is in need of new owners.

Supposedly they're in on Jamal Crawford too. Unreal. They should have been looking to sign a guy like Kurt Thomas to help lead these young guys.

Chauncey Billups has been claimed by an NBA team off amnesty waiver -- but it isn't the Nets, league source tells Y! Sports.

He'd be good on the clippers i think. If that does go down, then Clipps out of the Paul running. NBA is ****ing the Hornets more and more.
