Clippers Land Paul
The Los Angeles Clippers have their guy. They acquire the all-star point guard from the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for SG Eric Gordon, C Chris Kaman, SF Al-Farouq Aminu, and a first round pick. In my opinion, this is giving up an a lot, but if the Clippers are able to sign both Paul and Blake Griffin long term, it could be the beginning of a formidable tandem for LA's other franchise.
