The NBA-owned Hornets thought they had worked out a three-team deal to send Paul to Los Angeles in a deal that also would have sent Lamar Odom to New Orleans and four-time All-Star Pau Gasol to Houston.
The league, however, declined to approve the trade, meaning Paul was expected to report to Hornets camp, while Odom and Gasol were expected to show up when the Lakers opened practice under new head coach Mike Brown.
After deal fell through, Paul simply wrote, "WoW," on his Twitter page.
Odom, too, took to Twitter to share his feelings: "When a team trades u and it doesn't go down? Now what?"

with all this talk and it's not going down, honestly though the lakers were crazy for a minute giving up there 2 best big men for a point guard and only having Bynum as a key big man who's always injured..
