For the second time in five days, a trade that would've sent New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul to Los Angeles has fallen apart. This trade would've sent Paul to the Clippers, but they decided the asking price was too steep.

Los Angeles Clippers All-Star power forward Blake Griffin has landed a nice gig during the NBA lockout. The reigning rookie of the year and NBA superstar has taken an intern job with funnyordie.com. Despite his laid back personality, Griffin has already shown off his comedic skills. From a satircal interview with Peter Mehlman, to multiple appearances on Norm MacDonald's sports show, Griffin is a master of deadpan humor.
Despite being in a nasty labor dispute, the NBA released the 2011-2012 regular season schedule yesterday. If a season is played, the Hornets will only appear on national television twice.

The Atlanta Hawks had less wins than the Hornets a year ago, but are scheduled for 8 national TV appearances. Oh well, there probably won't be a season anyway.
