It ends the saga: Chris Paul traded to the Clippers
The transfer saga of Chris Paul is over. The base and former New Orleans Hornets play the Clippers finally closed after a franchise operation with angelina in exchange for Eric Gordon, the center Chris Kaman , forward Al-Farouq Aminu and the rights of selection of the first round of drawing of 2012 through the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The agreement has been approved by the NBA commissioner, David Stern, as head of the Hornets team to be owned by the league. The Lakers were interested in trying to get back to the base of the Hornets but will not be possible.
On Thursday, Stern vetoed the first transfer agreement they had reached the Lakers with the Hornets, who were to receive the forward Lamar Odom and the Spanish power forward Pau Gasol, who went to the Houston Rockets the power forward Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, Goran Dragic and a right of first round selection in 2012.
The Hornets were able to get younger players to trade to the Clippers, which was what Stern wanted, besides trying to give a better image for the defense that the new collective agreement was to allow greater sharing of power between 30 teams in the NBA.
The Hornets general manager, Dell Demps, in an official statement said the players had managed to present and future.
"We have players who are selected among the top eight in their respective college sweepstakes, plus two other rights we have - ours and Minnesota - 2012," Demps appreciated. "Both Gordon, Kaman Aminu as already demonstrated its kind in professional competition."
However, Gordon learned of the transfer just said he was "frustrated" because he was told he was not going to move the franchise and it would still be significant.
"Once again, in this business you never know when they tell you the truth, but I am a professional, do not hold a grudge against anyone and I go ahead with the only goal of playing basketball," said Gordon.
Paul, 26, nominated four times All-Star Game, won last season averaging 18.7 points and 9.8 assists.
Numbers lower than those obtained by Gordon, 23, who went from 22.3 points and 4.4 assists while rookie Aminu managed 5.6 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.
Kaman, 29, is a veteran of eight seasons in the NBA and last achieved average 12.4 points and seven rebounds in 32 games played due to a left ankle injury.
Paul sees his dream of being the second largest city in the country, where it wanted to be with the Lakers, and playing with the new star of the Clippers, the power forward Blake Griffin, who look to see what they can get in the next two seasons and then decide whether to continue or enter the free agent market.
The arrival of Paul, a specialist in air pass, plus great passer of the ball can help the spectacular play and athletic Griffin, who last league, his first as a rookie, the previous low was completed with a knee injury, achieve average of 22.5 points and 12.5 rebounds.
The Lakers star, Kobe Bryant, who had also wanted to have Paul as a new partner, acknowledged that his arrival will be good for the city of Los Angeles and for the Clippers.
"It's good to see them (the Clippers) want to be aggressive and take another step in his game," said Bryant. "They have Blake (Griffin), and combined with CP (Paul) is good for having two competitive teams."
The Hornets closed the transfer of Paul, now try to find a buyer for the team also committed to keep the city of New Orleans, where this season have already achieved more than 10,000 subscribers, but it is unknown whether they will be attracted by the arrival of new players.
The departure of Paul and forward David West, who signed as free agent with the Indiana Pacers, Hornets have left no star level player and have to see how they evolve with the new faces of Gordon, Aminu, and Kaman .

Now what about Pau Gasol and the Lakers?
Once that has been confirmed, approved and made official the desired transfer of the Clippers' Chris Paul and the Magic have made it known that not pass to Dwight Howard, all eyes are focused on the Lakers: What will you do now and what will happen Pau Gasol?
Angelina franchise has been vetoed as their agreement to take over Chris Paul in a three-way transaction in which he sacrificed and Paul Gasol Lamar Odom and now appear to also be without Superman, by whom Orlando asked Pau and Andrew Bynum and wanted to put Tukoglu in the operation.
Following the principle of agreement reached by Chris Paul seemed that the next move was to transfer to Bynum and a significant amount of money to Orlando to form a Big Three with Paul, Kobe and Howard, but this move will not be possible.
The double blow could cause Pau continue wearing the shirt of the Lakers but nothing seems clear now that while the general manager has expressed his desire that Pau, Bynum and Kobe still the Lakers this year, has also ensured that the franchise still pushing for a significant transfer. And Pau also knows that anything can happen. "Maybe the Magic have said that to get a better deal and then execute the transfer," said the NBA in a statement that includes Los Angeles Times.
To all this we must add another problem: Odom Lakers have traded to Dallas after the fiasco of "Operation CP3 'on request of the player who was offended and hurt by the treatment received by Californians.
That is, far from reinforcing the Lakers, have weakened: goodbye to Odom, have shaken the confidence / esteem of Pau (although the club will recover if left), Shannon Brown has changed the Lakers for the Suns and currently only have stepped up its game with two signings considered minor as Gerald Green and Josh McRoberts in addition to the shooter Jason Kapono.
Possibly backup?
While waiting for a possible move to see how important and used by nearly 9 million from the 'trade exception' received by Lamar Odom, the Lakers look for alternatives in the market: according to the newspaper Angeleno points, the Lakers could incorporate Troy Murphy and wait to see what happens with the amnesty Baron Davis.
Murphy, 31, could sign for 1.4 million and is already training with the Lakers. render the question is whether the level of riding last season between Boston and remind the Nets or Pacers player.
Baron Davis's case is more complicated. He was pardoned by the Cavaliers (his remaining two years and 28.7 per charge) but before the Lakers can make an offer for the minimum have to wait and see if one team under the salary cap being sought. If this does not happen, the Lakers could tempt the base 32, to accompany Fisher and Steve Blake.

What if Barca advance the operation Neymar?
Barcelona have taken advantage in the eyes of Neymar . The Brazilian is full of praise before the club could be his future. The flirtation with Real Madrid seem to thing of the past following the deterioration of relations with Santos . The personal engagement of Sandro Rosell draw the future of the Brazilian squad. But could hasten his arrival Guaje serious injury?
The Saints recently renewed its star until 2014. The agreement was consolidated on the choice of Neymar as image in Brazil by Banco Santander and commitment of local authorities to keep him there as one of the pillars of the next World Cup promotion.
The Real Madrid wanted to incorporate it next summer. The desire of the player was finishing his contract, an interest that coincides with the time that Barcelona had himself planned to develop its future workforce and make his move at a reduced price, the transfer would be free to end the contract, but millions would be paid an amount as Santos-gratification.
A look at the market
the market are, a priori, few alternatives like Villa . The British press had published in recent days the possibility of an exchange between Villa and Torres . Villas-Boas , manager of Chelsea , has been adamant in asserting that his striker will remain in the team next season even.
Tevez is another appealing name. Declared in default by Manchester City , major European teams have been interested in his services. The bid around 25 million euros. The Milan is the best placed according to reports, which added to their financial claims, currently charges 8 million per month-will become a remote possibility.
In the list of possible shows the current top scorer in the Premier League, Robbie Van Persie . This season ends contract with Arsenal and maybe the club would welcome some money to get a transfer in advance.
Among the favorites of Guardiola is Cavani striker Naples for which he has stated his preference publicly. I could not contest the Champions having competed with his team in the group stage.
A look at The Farmhouse
The natural solution is Isaac Basin . The youth is the big surprise of the season. He's started half a dozen parties and could be definitely in the technical plans for the remainder of the season. The drawback is that it does not occupy any empty because it is an asset of the team.
In the Barcelona B appears as an option Jonathan Soriano , top scorer last year in second division and has already made the preseason with the first squad. Just a long injury and has already scored their first goals .
Although not a pure end, Rafinha is another important values in the subsidiary. It made its debut in the Champions League and takes Thiago , his brother, an ally to fit into the costumes. It used to be in the position of false front, although his natural position is the inside left.
Gerard Deulofeu is the most risky. is the great pearl of the quarry , but has not attained 18 years and less than a year would jump from Junior A to major professional football. So much for a player in training.

Howard will only transfer to the Nets, Mavericks or Lakers
The center Dwight Howard after requesting the transfer and criticize the few reinforcements that has done so far his current team, Orlando Magic, also made him angry to know that only three teams in the NBA : New Jersey Nets, Dallas Mavericks or Lakers.
The Orlando team officials have said they want to work on restoring trust Howard to stay with them, but his star has made them a very high standard and has also made clear that it will go to another computer that does not is one of the three chosen.
Howard can be traded to another team, but will not sign a long term contract so at the end of this season will become an unrestricted free agent.
The Magic had said after meeting Howard's wishes to be traded that would send any of the remaining 29 teams are in the NBA, but the most dominant power forward in the league there has made it very difficult for them to fulfill that desire to principles of equality for all.
Even Howard has included the equipment to be traded to the Chicago Bulls , who have the base Derrick Rose , the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in the league, great talent and youth on staff and headquarters in a large city, the third largest in the country.
Do not know the reasons, but Howard does not want to the Bulls.
The Magic, with its CEO Alex Martins to the head, attempting to reconstruct a good relationship with Howard, but that will take time and money, two elements that are scarce.
Although Martins met on Monday with Howard, at the Amway Center, after the All-Star power forward in the tone of his criticism of the team management, it appears that their stay in Orlando will not be easy to get.
"I love the city because there's nowhere better to me than Orlando, yet I make sure I do the right things to win a league title here," Howard reiterated. "If there are changes in that direction so we can be champions, they can count on me."
Martins came last week to the team management after he unexpectedly resigned from Bob Vander Weide and has since opted to get Howard to continue with the franchise in Orlando.
However, last Friday Howard authorized him to speak with the Nets, Mavericks and Lakers, who are riding the best deal possible for him to pivot and Magic team.
The Lakers could give Orlando the pivot Andrew Bynum and the Spanish power forward Pau Gasol if finally got to Howard, but if it includes any other player in the transfer.
However, the Magic also wants Howard to put the transfer of Turkish forward Hedo Turkoglu and remove the large financial responsibility that you still have to pay, something the Nets would be willing to accept, but not the Lakers.
Meanwhile, Howard maintains that his relationship with Magic general manager Otis Smith is not the best because he was not heard during the last few seasons of the needs that had the equipment and the type of players they needed to be competitive and champions.

Stern criticized Garnett for NBA live urgency
The criticism towards the management of the NBA commissioner, David Stern , he returned to be present at the start of training camp and this time the hero of it was the power forward Kevin Garnett , the Celtics in Boston.
Garnett and his two companions of the 'Big Three' , forward Paul Pierce and guard Ray Allen said he was "disappointed" by the rush and haste with which it had set up the return to competition, without giving any logical margin preparation.
All three players were unanimous in considering that it was doing was all improvised, with the sole purpose of starting the competition at any cost Christmas Day without considering or preparing the players nor teams are competitive when they leave the field.
Garnett , who admitted he was "very, very, very sensitive" from the emotional point, said the only culprit of the whole situation was the commissioner Stern. "What you see is nothing more than a league that lives in rainfall," said Garnett. "Everybody is paying attention to the situation of Chris Paul . But do not understand why they are surprised, as Stern has been quite adamant when he wants to do things and how you want to do, "said the player.
Garnett reiterated that the chemistry inside a basketball team was critical and was not a mixture of things cooking in the pan and if not pleasant, it throws away and nothing happens. The veteran of the Celtics said it was logical to begin training with less than 10 players and have less than 12 days to establish team chemistry before Christmas Day face the Knicks in New York.
For a team of veteran players like the Celtics, chemistry and preparation time is key to the season finale results are positive. In the same line, said Allen, who reiterated that everything was being done in the league was very rushed and pointless. "I feel pressured," said Allen , 36. "I can not say I've been very happy with the things that have happened in the last two or three weeks, but we must adapt to what is, that the same for everyone."
Pierce also supported the opinion of his two companions and said the most frustrating part is that the chaotic situation we are living in the NBA could have been avoided. "There's no point nothing has been done, much less the way it is organized around the competition, when we should be in the normal period of free agents, then start training, but on Christmas Day is key for them and although the quality of basketball is not the best, simply play, "praised Pierce, 34.

Carter, released by the Phoenix Suns, but his performance has declined in paragraph offensive, it is still a profitable player in a team like the Mavericks, which should provide minutes.
The same goes for West, whose quality and experience to cover absence and minutes that gave Barea, to be the Minnesota Timberwolves for four seasons and 19 million dollars.

Meanwhile, Carlisle said he had not yet been able to work in the field with new players, and it was too early to start making judgments on the potential lineup.
"What we do have all very clear is that we have three great players that can help us greatly in the face of the new season and more after the losses we had with Chandler, Barea and Butler," Carlisle assessed. "I'm happy with what we have achieved, although not close the door to improve the squad."
The Mavericks, who are trying to leave the maximum salary cap space for next season to market free agents with potential for a great signing, have in their agenda the possibility of working a shift with the Orlando Magic by the star power forward Dwight Howard.

Denver Nene covered in gold: $ 67 million for five seasons
The Denver Nuggets are discreetly putting his best pieces in the face of staff training for next season after falling to the power forward Nene, who agreed a five-year and 67 million dollars.
Hilary, who was the best man available was higher than in the free agent market, was the best the Nuggets and also returned as a key player in the team's future, unlike what had happened in Houston, New Jersey and Indiana, who wanted to complement the franchise player.

In addition, sources close to the Brazilian international player said his first option was to continue with the Nuggets, a team that gave him every opportunity to develop as a great figure.
Another important aspect in the decision to Hilario has been the presence of coach George Karl, the person who supported him when he discovered a cancerous testicular tumor.
Although the agreement between the Nuggets and Hilario is not yet official, several news sources in Denver reported that the Brazilian player will receive an average salary of $ 13.5 million over the next five years, one more than they could have offered the rest of teams wanted him.
Before an agreement was reached with Hilario, 29, nine as a pro, the Nuggets had also managed the transfer of the Spanish guard Rudy Fernandez and Corey Brewer, Dallas Mavericks, for a right of selection of the second round of university lot.
The arrival of Fernandez and Brewer will help the Nuggets to fill the positions left by free agent Wilson Chandler, JRSmith and Kenyon Martin, who went to play professional basketball in China.
Although Chandler Nuggets hope to recoup when you return to America next March.
Now, with the first major goal achieved, the continuity of Nene, the Nuggets' big goal is to get an arrangement for the equipment remaining in guard Arron Afflalo, a player for Karl, along with Hilary, are key to the team's future.
Karl praised the great contribution he made last season Afflalo despite the instability experienced by the team with the "soap opera" of the transfer of Anthony.
Nuggets coach is hopeful that Fernandez can fit perfectly into the team along with Afflalo and point guard Ty Lawson of headlines, as well as Hilary and Italian Danilo Gallinari forward.
"I am convinced that we will be a winning team and very difficult to overcome when we start our best basketball player," said Karl.
Meanwhile, the Nuggets executive vice president, Masai Ujiri, just complete the lockout, the first thing he told reporters was "Nene is a Nugget."
The Brazilian and his wife, who is from Denver, have established a great relationship with the organization that always supported him in difficult times as they were the very serious knee injury he suffered in the first game of the 2005-06 season and then the fight against cancer, in January 2008.

Lamar Odom Lakers accused of "lacking" respect as a professional and person
Lamar Odom took a little turn in the spotlight in the 'Media Day' from his new team, the Mavericks, publicly accusing his former franchise, Los Angeles Lakers, of having "failed" to respect as a professional and person.
Odom said the way the directors of the Lakers managed the unsuccessful attempt to transfer to the Hornets Chris Paul New Oleans was "regrettable" and without respect for a player who had helped get two league titles.
The new Mavericks player said it hurt the Lakers' decision to send him to the Hornets, but what affected him was the failure to inform him of what they intended to do.
The Mavericks owner Mark Cuban reported that the change which led to Odom to Dallas for a first round selection was done in less than three hours after the Lakers leave the negotiation of three teams that had sent Paul the Hornets.
Odom, who wore the white jersey local Mavericks first spoke about his separation from the team he played for the past six seasons and won two titles.
The player explained that he and his agent, Jeff Schwartz, had no idea that he was involved in a potential transfer with three teams involved.
When he learned immediately made known to the managers of the Lakers who had offended: "I will not speak ill of New Orleans, but there is where I wanted to be. No disrespect to anyone on the team or the city or management, but not where I want to be after playing with the Lakers. It's hard for me to imagine starting over there. "
Odom went further in his assessment of the situation and said that the way in which the Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchack handled it bothered him more than the fact that he was leaving Los Angeles and that his destiny was the franchise of the Hornets: "He had no class or type of personality to me informed of what's going to do. I had no more to talk to him, simply overstep I asked immediately, but the team that I wanted."
Odom wanted to make it clear that before anything else is a professional who deserves respect at work and as a person, not an object: "It was not to go or not New Orleans. It was on as they did. I do not feel respected me. After being there so long and go through so much, I think they could just tell me and probably would have agreed. If someone says you can not be here or there is no room for you, one can understand. I think that's why I took a very personal way. "
Odom was categorical when he said he had much more "class" and "personality" Kupchack, because he told to his face that did not want to go more with the Lakers.
The new Mavericks player also thanked the reaction of affection and gratitude that they had shown all his former teammate, starting with Kobe Bryant and the Spanish power forward Pau Gasol, who had also been included in the transfer, and said he understood that his position on this has been very different from yours: "It is normal to have recognized that sending the Mavericks was not the best option for the team's interests, yet have failed to understand my behavior for what happened."
Odom said the way the directors of the Lakers managed the unsuccessful attempt to transfer to the Hornets Chris Paul New Oleans was "regrettable" and without respect for a player who had helped get two league titles.
The new Mavericks player said it hurt the Lakers' decision to send him to the Hornets, but what affected him was the failure to inform him of what they intended to do.
The Mavericks owner Mark Cuban reported that the change which led to Odom to Dallas for a first round selection was done in less than three hours after the Lakers leave the negotiation of three teams that had sent Paul the Hornets.
Odom, who wore the white jersey local Mavericks first spoke about his separation from the team he played for the past six seasons and won two titles.
The player explained that he and his agent, Jeff Schwartz, had no idea that he was involved in a potential transfer with three teams involved.
When he learned immediately made known to the managers of the Lakers who had offended: "I will not speak ill of New Orleans, but there is where I wanted to be. No disrespect to anyone on the team or the city or management, but not where I want to be after playing with the Lakers. It's hard for me to imagine starting over there. "
Odom went further in his assessment of the situation and said that the way in which the Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchack handled it bothered him more than the fact that he was leaving Los Angeles and that his destiny was the franchise of the Hornets: "He had no class or type of personality to me informed of what's going to do. I had no more to talk to him, simply overstep I asked immediately, but the team that I wanted."
Odom wanted to make it clear that before anything else is a professional who deserves respect at work and as a person, not an object: "It was not to go or not New Orleans. It was on as they did. I do not feel respected me. After being there so long and go through so much, I think they could just tell me and probably would have agreed. If someone says you can not be here or there is no room for you, one can understand. I think that's why I took a very personal way. "

Chelsea warms and lights the Premier
The set of Mancini, a brave of those who are not (you can use all the quotes you want), faltered in Stamford Brigde with less. Clichy saw his second yellow in 58 'and the City, which was tied at one, leaned back satisfied with what had been achieved. The message was clear Italian sky blue and the team was punished with a penalty goal, caused by a few hands of Lescott in 84 '. Lampard, old fox, did not miss the chance and Hart shot where it hurts most, that he had not intervened despite the siege too local.
A full-blown battle
Mario Balotelli opened the scoring just start the game, but to no avail to the City, which did not give the size in a stadium that always smokes. From there, they went quemadísimos those of Mancini.
Chelsea went to see them come and Balotelli Ivanovic portrayed asleep early. Agüero got a good ball between the lines and the IOL 45 is Serbian and then Cech, who cut to mark the empty net. Challenging goal held the stands, he was afraid all night.
The Villas-Boas, with the party cooking, without eating or drinking tied. Sturridge broke into the side and Meireles made it 1-1 shortly after a clear penalty Cole Silva he was not brought to the spot.
The canary player ended with a face, also Torres, blue, but that was without playing a single minute. The opposite happened with Mata, more and more important, and Oriol Romeu, Spanish bastion in the center of the field of Villas-Boas.
Fear is paid

Mancini field erased Silva Kun and put Kolo Toure and De Jong, plumbers did not fix a pipe that ended drowning the City, who died with that penalty which Lampard converted. Chelsea put seven of the leader and, incidentally, did a favor to United, only two of which ended Manchester City surrendered for fear of defeat.
