LOS ANGELES-A trade that would send point guard, Chris Paul from the New Orleans Hornets to the Los Angeles Clippers has been submitted to the NBA for approval.
A previous trade that would have sent Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers was nullified by the NBA, which owns the New Orleans Hornets.
ESPN reports:
The New Orleans Hornets and Los Angeles Clippers have submitted a multiplayer blockbuster deal to the NBA that would send All-Star point guard Chris Paul to Los Angeles, a source with knowledge of the discussions said Monday.
But the trade as presented has at least one stumbling block: The league, which owns the Hornets, wants the Clippers to add Eric Bledsoe to a package that already includes guard Eric Gordon, center Chris Kaman, forward Al-Farouq Aminu and Minnesota’s unprotected 2012 first-round pick.
