The biggest trade that never happened in the last decade was the Chris Paul<\/a><\/strong> trade to the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>. The Lakers were coming off the second of their two straight championships. The NBA landscape changing deal did not happen and Paul eventually ended up going<\/a> to the Los Angeles Clippers<\/a>. Another deal though almost went through with Paul around that time. Chris Paul almost went to the Golden State Warriors<\/a> for Klay Thompson<\/a><\/strong> and Stephen Curry<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Warriors almost traded Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson for Chris Paul.<\/p>\n

Before he was traded to LA, Golden State offered the two guards and a first-round pick.<\/p>\n

CP3 told Bob Myers he wouldn\u2019t sign an extension if they made the trade.<\/p>\n
