Although David Stern rejected the previous deal that would have brought Chris Paul to the Lakers, the teams involved in the trade are trying to reconstruct the transaction. The Lakers, Hornets and Rockets resumed talks today to work out a deal that would bring Paul to the Lakers, and it seems as though progress is being made, tweets Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports.
The deal is not yet dead and the teams are working hard to complete the move. Although there is ‘still a ways to go,’ it is nice to see that the trade can still occur.
