Chris Paul was reportedly traded from the New Orleans Hornets to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday evening in a deal that also involved the Houston Rockets. While everyone is talking about that the Lakers got out of the deal, it's the Hornets who might end up being sneaky, long-term winners in all of this.

Sam Amick Looking like New Orleans did very well here. Source says Houston gives a first-rounder to Hornets as well.

There's still a lot of moving parts in the reported trade but it's sounding like the Hornets might end up with multiple picks in order to build their future around. Consider it a small solace to New Orleans fans as they watch their present franchise head to LA.
