They finally caved and gave the Eric Gordon + the 2012 pick.

Big move, instant contenders now. We'll have to wait and see if it was worth it for 2 years of Paul, personally, I think it is. Go big whilst you've got it.

Only question now is that they've got 3 good PG's, will Mo Williams get traded out to add some scorers off the bench to replace Eric Gordon?

Can't believe Gordon has gone. Paul and Griffin is huge, but that Minnesota pick could be an absolute gem. The 2012 class looks to be an impressive one with depth in most positions. I know the Clippers need talent now, but it won't go down well if it's another #1 pick. What contract has Paul signed with the Clips'?

Hasn't signed one. Waived his option next year and will see ouit final year. Essentially there for at least 3 years i think.

Ooops. Too much without an extension.

I don't think they're instant contenders. Not enough depth and scoring on the wings.

1. Mavericks
2. Thunder
3. Lakers
4. Grizzlies
5. Spurs
6. Nuggets

I'd probably have them at 7 and at a push 6 at the moment.

Nuggets + Mavs have both lost a few players, I'd still imagine the Mavs will be ahead but they've lost Butler + whatshisface to the Knicks. Spurs are yet another year older.

I'd say...

1. Thunder
2. Lakers (they'll pull something out of the hat yet)
3. Mavs/Clippers/Spurs
6. Grizzlies
7. Denver

Not only that, but next season will be a big one as well. Think they cleared about $14mil in cap space and still have their own first round pick for next season.

A plan? Nah. Totally winging it, not a clue how it'll work so I'm just hoping for the best.
