Of course NOLA also got so bad the year after trade with the Clippers they ended up winning the lottery and getting Anthony Davis. So....

NOLA was set to get Odom, Scola, Kevin Martin and Goran Dragic in that initial CP3 trade.

Bulls will extend qualifying offer to F Joffrey Lauvergne, acquired in Gibson/McDermott deal from OKC in February w/G Cameron Payne.

Sources: After Paul informed Clippers he'd sign w/ HOU in FA, teams agreed to deal sending Beverley, Decker, Williams and 2018 FRP for Paul. https://t.co/9Lk9FPEPbu

Then compare that with the benefit of hindsight to what NOLA would've got back form the original Lakers-Hou trade for CP3 in 2011

The Pelicans got Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, Al-Farouq Aminu and a lottery pick for CP3 back in 2011. Compare that to what Clips got back

Chris Paul and James Harden were determined to play together, and found a way with Rockets-Clippers trade agreed upon today.

Knew I’d do this…Harrell also to Clips, w/Beverley, Dekker, Hilliard, Liggins, Wiliams, Wiltjer, 2018 first-rounder, for CP3.
2017-6-28 21:35:19David Aldridge @daldridgetnt
Final version: Houston sends Beverley, Dekker, Darrun Hilliard (acquired from DET), Liggins, Williams, Wiltjer, 2018 first for CP3.

The Los Angeles Clippers have waived Paul Pierce, league sources say.

The @CP3 deal is officially done at the league office level, I'm told. Could've guessed by that tweet from @dmorey...

Phil Jackson Won't Be Missed
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojVerticalNBA
Sources: So far, departure of Phil Jackson hasn't changed MSG's mindset on Carmelo Anthony's eventual exit. Knicks want trade, not buyout.

Raise your hand if you have not been traded to the Houston Rockets or Los Angeles Clippers today.

Sacramento Kings to decline extending qualifying offer to Ben McLemore and he'll become unrestricted free agent, league sources tell ESPN.

And the Rockets keep it going... The Pistons have traded swingman Darrun Hilliard to the Rockets in exchange for cash considerations.

Chris Paul reduced his trade bonus from $3.6m to $661k to make the trade work. Cap hit for Houston in 17-18 is $24.6m.

Mike D'Antoni's rep as a point guard whisperer gets revived in Houston, & now he wants ALL the Point Gods. Harden-Paul will be interesting.

LAC currently has room for six players and could create an open spot if they waive Paul Pierce. Will need to shed another contract.
2017-6-28 19:17:11Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42
Looks like the math works by $617k to get a CP to Houston trade done before July 1. CP trade bonus would be $1.2m (not $1.6m).

Darrun Hilliard contract for 17-18 becomes guaranteed ($1.4m) if he is not waived by July 1.
