I don't really think that is reality any longer. We'll see, but I don't think the new deal is going to make these guys as valuable as "chips" as they were in the past.

In resumption of CP3-Lakers talks with Houston, Hornets under directive from NBA to get younger players, quality picks in deal, souces say.

Seriously? That is laughable. Are these guys serious? Again who outside of a team like LA or NY is going trade for a guy who may be a rental? Really NBA? High picks or younger players? Yeah maybe the Clippers will trade Griffin to NO. lol. It is like bizzaro world. Bill Simmons has enough ammo for 1000 columns now.

Why would you think that? The new deal isnt really much different than the old deal.
