There isn't a team in the league willing to give up anything of value without an extension already agreed upon.
FWIW, thanks to the new CBA no player will ever sign another extension. You can get longer deals by signing new contracts than you can by extending current contracts. So any team that trades for Paul will be taking a gamble that he leaves.
The Lakers are betting that he stays, which is why they were willing to give up Odom and Gasol for him. The Clippers aren't so sure about that bet, which is why they aren't willing to give up Eric Gordon or the Minny #1 pick.
It's a terrible terrible provision in the CBA. I have no idea how it got in there or which side supports it.

Its a saftey button for stupid owners that give ridiculous contracts. Now when they give those stupid contracts to a player, they are stuck with him for a little shorter than before

Fair enough...

Unlike the Gasol trade, the Hornets and Dell wanted and need current high-level ballers to generate buzz by competing for wins, not draft picks to be developed slowly..
Gilbert makes great points in the grand scheme of the health for the overall league and going forward..
But, by NOH's current needs, Paul's expiring, no current local ownership, and NBA attendance mandates in regards to Nawlins when the Saints and LSU Football having this state's full attention, this was gonna be a good deal for all involved.
