 Negotiations did fall apart yesterday, GM Neil Olshey as L.A. claimed that the League owned by Hornets franchise was demanding too much in exchange for CP3. New Orleans was reportedly demanding that the Clippers to part with Eric Gordon, Eric Bledsoe, Chris Kaman, Al-Farouq Aminu and Minnesota unprotected 2012 pick first-round draft picks in exchange for point guard Hornets All-star. While none of their players are familiar names, like Paul, the prospect of separation with 2 guys in Gordon and Bledsoe, as well as a potential # 1 overall pick next year was simply too steep a price for the Clippers.

We're still not sure what L.A. would be dealing in New Orleans in new negotiations, but the Clippers are certainly still interested to get Paul.

Meanwhile CP3 has practiced with New Orleans Alario Center since training camp opened on Friday, but has not spoken to the media. Things should get even more interesting in this fact fiction if there is no agreement made by tomorrow ... when the Hornest host their media day. Normally all players speak with journalists on media day.

Oh and the first preseason game is Friday at Memphis against the Grizzlies, and I haven't could tell you New Orleans starting 5.

 Paul was a focal point, because the NBA has re-allowed transactions after the end of the NBA lockout. The guard of 26 years has made it clear that he would leave New Orleans, however an agreement for the former rookie of the year that was difficult to find.

NBA Trade Rumor: Chris Paul to Clippers for Eric Gordon?

NBA Trade Rumor: Chris Paul to Clippers for Eric Gordon:Hey, it looking at* alike Chris Paul mightiness last up in Los Angeles afterward all! The bad news program is that he would have got to dramatic play for the clipper ship* instead of the Lakers, and so it's pretty so much the WORST CHRISTMAS EVER for CP3. ESPN's sources (read: ghostwrites) have proclaimed that Alice Paul would head to the cartridge clip* in exchange for Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman​, Al-Farouq Aminu​ and a first-round draft copy peck. Of course, there's a catch up with: The Hornets require breaker point bodyguard Eric Bledsoe, but the clipper ship* are not willing to give him up, presumptively because they will be weakly at the point guard military position. Wait a 2nd...
    
This business-how to trade the Lakers and got arrested a few days ago-makes a ton of sense for the Hornets. One of the best young players receive the NBA in Eric Gordon, and Chris Kaman will provide a lot of attractiveness to a city in dire need of good-looking men. Here's a little teaser, New Orleans, in case you aren't familiar with Kaman:

All seriousness aside, it also appears that an important component of the proposed trade Chris Paul's will is to exercise its option to contract for another year, which would mean the Clippers would not simply rent CP3 for the season. Yet, forego Gordon is a yuge price to pay for two seasons of Chris Paul.

On the other hand, every NBA fan WOULD KILL to see a couple of seasons of CP3 lobbing alley-oops to Blake Griffin. We hope that this trade sticks, although the way things went, will probably not be. We are already hearing rumors that Gordon is off the table, then we'll keep you posted on all the NBA trade rumors as they float through the air.

Update: Now it seems that Eric Bledsoe, Eric Gordon, is a part of this trade, which makes the most sense for the Clippers. More updates to come.
