Paul was the #1 point guard in '11 and the Hornets traded him, so what was the bargaining chip then?

Chris? Paul is undoubtedly the current No. 1 point guard, the Hornets traded him because at that time, Paul was already determined to leave. The final deal: the Hornets sent Chris Paul + two draft picks. Paul + two picks, from the Clippers to get is Eric? Gordon + Chris? Carman + Farouk? Aminu + first-round pick!

Paul played in the Hornets, averaging 19 points and 9.8 assists, plus 2.3 steals of the data, six years, the second time (07 ~ 08 season, 08-09 season) to wrap up the assists king + steals of the title. It is also during this period, Paul led the team to play the best record in team history (ranked second in the West), but the second round of the encounter with the old Spurs, the battle to steal seven miserable eliminated. Subsequently, the team's performance deteriorated, even if fortunate enough to kill to the playoffs, but also difficult to get rid of the fate of the round trip, finally after the 10-11 season, Chris? Paul sprouted the idea of leaving. All of a sudden, the whole league is boiling!

The league's No. 1 point guard (Chris Paul) came close to being tied with the league's No. 1 point guard. Paul) nearly teamed up with the league's No. 1 point guard (Kobe Bryant)! Bryant) to join forces!

It is reported that at that time exposed such a set of three-team trade program? The Lakers sent Odom + Gasol + first-round picks to get Paul + Okafor; another team sent Dragic + Kevin? Martin + Scola to get Gasol; and the Hornets sent Paul + Okafor to get Odom + Dragic + Scola + Kevin? Martin + first round signing. In fact, such a set of programs, for the trade of the three parties to see, is all very good. If you can reach, the Hornets can get three quasi-all-star players, another team and then get Gasol, can also make up for the loss of Yao Ming after the loss of the Lakers, of course, is the biggest winner, because the deal is reached, not only can Paul teamed up with Kobe, the Lakers can still be introduced to the peak period of the Lakers? The Beast? Howard, ask, Paul + Kobe + Howard? Super Trio? There are other teams anything?

It must have occurred to the league that then-president David? Stern to? basketball reasons? rejected the current trade.

The league's No. 1 point guard moved to Los Angeles to start the? Sack City? era!

Then the Hornets management had also received a set of swap trade program (Paul and Nash), although Nash got the title of 10-11 season assist king, but, after all, the years do not spare ah (37 years old)! Therefore, the Hornets chose to trade with the Los Angeles Clippers, Paul + 2nd round pick for Gordon + Kaman + Aminu + 1st round pick!

Gordon, in the 10-11 season, can contribute 22.3 points, 3 boards, 4.4 assists per game, quasi-All-Star data, do not want to think, to join the first year of the Pelicans (Hornets), suffered injuries, only played 6 games before the season is over. Kaman had in the 07-08 season, playing averaged 15.7 points, 12.7 boards, 2.8 caps data, three times in a single season cut 20 + 20 data, second only to the ? The Beast? Howard in second place. 09-10 season was also selected to the All-Star team.

Paul after joining the Clippers, the Clippers will take the Clippers on the road to the western powerhouse, killing the playoff stage in consecutive years, although it is difficult to touch the floor of the Western Conference, but the key to the problem appeared more Griffin (did not get to the playoffs on the injury). Paul in the Clippers six years, four times honored steals king title, two times elected season assists king title, six years all selected for the annual best defense first lineup, although not for the Clippers to bring the championship, but, Los Angeles? The city of the air? s name is enough to be remembered throughout the league!

For Paul, in addition to? Western Conference curse? This terrier, there is another, that is, David? West, Peja, and Chandler all won coveted championships after leaving the Hornets.
