Lakers end Paul trade talks, ship Odom to Mavs
"After failing to satisfy trade proposal mandates for the NBA-owned New Orleans Hornets, the Los Angeles Lakers ended trade talks for Chris Paul on Saturday night, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
As the Lakers changed course, they traded Lamar Odom to the Dallas Mavericks into a trade exception and set course in pursuit of Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard.
The Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors are expected to return to talks with the Hornets about a Paul deal, front office executives said."
Wonder what this implies about us getting David West. Or about shipping Rondo to the Hornets, for that matter.

Glad to see...
at least 1/3rd of the Lakers triple towers broken up in Odom and hope to see maybe Gasol and Bynum sent packing also soon.
I think the Odom pick up by Dallas was a steal as it helps them beef up the front court after the loss of Chandler.
This deal is odd in that LA would ship Odom to a rival and it could come back to haunt LA down the line this season.
Of course since we could not get Paul its sweet to hear the Lakers can not get him either.
