Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
By now, you've probably seen the photo of Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman and Al-Farouq Aminu being introduced as New Orleans Hornets. The three were sent to New Orleans in the trade that netted the Los Angeles Clippers Chris Paul, and none of the new Hornets seemed too happy about it. All of us may have been reading their body language wrong, but it sure looks like the three were daydreaming of being back home in Los Angeles, playing in Lob City.
And of course the official NBA Twitter account decided to use that shot as its promo on Sunday night. The league's Twitter account was accompanying "BIG things coming" tweets with photos of certain players, including Dwight Howard and three new Hornets. But where Howard was standing proud and smiling ... well, not so much for the new Hornets.

On what's supposed to be a day of smiles and happiness, Kaman, Gordon and Aminu look like they're ready to run and never come back.
