Chris Paul Traded to LA...Again

So the NBA is letting Chris Paul go to LA, just the Clippers instead of the Lakers. The Clippers will send guard Eric Gordon, center Chris Kaman, forward Al-Farouq Aminu and Minnesota's unprotected 2012 first-round pick to the Hornets for Paul. The Clippers will also receive two future second-round picks.



This actually makes sense. Paul will have a solid group of players around him and a ton of cash available to pay him well. Gordon is a stud in the making but Kaman is an expensive backup center with DeAndre Jordan having his offer sheet matched. Aminu seemed like he could be a decent wing player but not more than the 4th best starter on a lottery team. The T-Wolves have enough talent to stay out of the lottery and a good coach that should keep that pick in the 8-12 range. 
The trade is fair for both teams and actually makes sense? The Clippers rolled the dice, what's the worst that can happen?
