The Trail Blazers recently tried to acquire Chris Paul from the Hornets in what would have been a blockbuster four-team trade, according to league sources.

In the deal Paul would have gone to Portland, Devin Harris and Kris Humphries (and others) would have landed in New Orleans, Derrick Favors to Denver and New Jersey would have acquired Carmelo Anthony and Andre Miller.

Portland proposed the deal, but talks didn't become too advanced.
