-Chris Paul could get traded to the Clippers as soon as today. Los Angeles would trade Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, Al-Farouq Aminu and Minnesota’s 2012 unprotected first-round pick, say Chris Broussard and Marc Stein. The league, which owns the Hornets, are additionally asking for Eric Bledsoe in the deal. As part of the deal, Paul would opt into his contract for 2012-2013, giving him at least two years of time on the Clippers. As Harvey Araton points out, Lakers fans would be well within their rights to cry conspiracy if he ends up on LA’s “other” team.
