It's official, Chris Paul was traded to the LA Clippers and his new teammate Blake Griffin seems happy about it. Get the deets inside...
In a deal that went through last night, The LA Clippers sent shooting guard Eric Gordon, center Chris Kaman, small forward Al-Farouq Aminu and their unprotected 2012 first-round draft pick to the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for Chris Paul and a pair of 2015 second-round picks.
In a conference held yesterday, NBA Commissioner David Stern said,
"I knew that we were doing the best thing for New Orleans. That was my job. The future of the Hornets is looking better today than it ever has before."
And Chris, who will make $16.3 million this season, will become the Clippers' most significant free agent acquisition since relocating to Los Angeles in 1984. And his new teammate Blake Griffin seems happy about him coming aboard. When informed of the trade, he said "Yeah! It's going to be lob city."
So far, Chris hasn't spoken about the trade.
