i was eh when i heard it was pick or EG but when i see that hornets get EG and pick i think thats what Stern wanted. wasnt fond of losing two bigs for CP3, but only way to make this good is if lakers gets D12 if not lakers management take a huge L

The Clippers caved in and included EJ.

Don't see him extending. He stands to make more money by resigning as a free agent, I think.

CP3 stays 2 years at most with clips, only thing i think keeps him there is playing with blake/drejordan, their a playoff team but not a deep playoff team

 

[krazy88s]

CP3 has opted in for the 2012-13 season

CP3/Blake duo remind me of Payton/Kemp

Word. No way Billups stays there.

Anyone know how an amnesty signing works? Like, can the Clips cut Chauncey or trade him today?

Or do they have to wait until a set amount of time passes before they can move him?

 

[JD617]

Now I just need Dwight to go to the Nets. Make the Lakers/Knicks get overshadowed in their respective cities. 

 

[srvballer]

What do they do with Billups lol? I don't think he's coming off the bench happily..

 

[japanair21]

CP3/Chauncey/Mo/Bledsoe
Foye
Butler/Gomes
Blake/Cook
Jordan

Yikes

They can trade Billups after July 1st

You can only amnesty a player that was on roster before the CBA was agreed to

CP3, Biracial Facial & Deandre is nice

[laker4lifeman]

I think I read you can't trade a amnesty player.

 

[diew its james]

so the clippers traded for cp3 WITHOUT him agreeing to sign an extension?

Nah... cp3/blake are no where near glove/kemp defensively... but on offense maybe

 

[kevin cleveland]

Okafor/Kaman
...
Ariza/Aminu/Pondexter
Gordon/Belinelli
Jack

Look out.

 

[big j 33]

Good deal.

Gordon, the pick, and cap relief from Kaman is great for New Orleans plus they're going to suck so that's another top draft pick... and the Clippers get a star PG to pair with Blake.

I like it.

the clippers are dumb for trading for him without an extension

 

[harlemtothebronx]

I can see the Clippers amnestying All-Star Mo Williams.

 

[university of nike]

Hornets roster* is absolutely terrible.

yup.
they gave both gordon AND the minny pick??

 

[stillatit]

Just yesterday the Clippers GM was calling Gordon one of the "foundations of this organization"
