Though he’s not going to the Lakers, Paul could still end up in Los Angeles.  The Clippers, present a plausible trade partner for Paul, given all the young assets possessed by the Lakers’ Staples Center co-tenants. Sources say that Al-Farouq Aminu, Eric Bledsoe and the expiring contract of Chris Kaman are among the pieces that have been made available to New Orleans this week, but it’s believed the Clippers can clinch a trade for Paul if they include either Gordon or Minnesota’s unprotected 2012 first-round pick in the deal.

 

The Clippers, to date, have been unwilling to offer either Gordon or the Minnesota pick without an assurance from Paul that he’s willing to stay to with Blake Griffin’s team beyond this season.
