UPDATE: The NBA, who owns the New Orleans Hornets, nixed the deal that would have sent Hornets point guard Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers. The trade was axed shortly after the Hornets had made an agreement with the Lakers and Houston Rockets. Had the trade moved forward, Laker forward Lamar Odom would have gone to the Hornets. Laker Pau Gasol would have also been traded. Gasol was set to go to the Rockets.
