I agree, they have young talent to build on. I do see no way the Hornets don't trade Paul. He's made it clear he will test free agency and they won't just let him go for free.

LAC willing to add Gordon to deal if Paul commits to "opt-in" to the final year of his deal, which would assure LAC of having him next 2 years.
Denver's defense deserves some credit as well. When Tebow isn't playing well, they manage to keep them in the game. Today he was 3 of 16 through three quarters and the defense kept them within striking distance.
Someone made the comment today that this was Indiana's biggest game in a decade while it was Kentucky's biggest game in a week. That made for a great atmosphere and everything that is great about college basketball, regardless of outcome.
IMO the only two reasons the Lakers would pull out of this deal is, they know the second trade will get shot down as well or they think they can get Dwight Howard.
Reminded me of the South Carolina game from '09 with Wall & Co... Young team newly named #1, and goes into a hostile road arena for the first time. Indiana deserved to win this game, and Cal now has the attention of his team. This should only help in the long run.
Best atmosphere in that gym since the region final back in '08. Great game in this great rivalry. If the Indians can find a consistant third option outside of Prewitt and Handshoe, they should be the favorite in the 10th.
