    The GM of the new Orleans Hornets said that he was sure that Paul will stay with the team for next season and
    that Chris did not demand at trade at the meeting. Well I think  that it is a lie so that the Hornets can get better offers from the teams usually the opposite will happen with these kind of thing but if the man wants to be traded I think that he will but the management might be tough and not let this happen. tell me what you think?

    Good point. Paul wants a trade even if he didn't say it (in my opinion). And from what I hear....the Blazer's already made an offer that NO has actually considered. I think the press release on that was not all true...I think it was to calm down the hype, and like you said....to try and get better offers. Playing hard to get. If they wanna rebuild, taking a very nice offer and getting rid of CP3 would be a good start cuz they still have Okafors rediculous contract that they dont want anything to do with anymore. With CP3 still there, they keep their star, keep fans in the seats.....but rebuilding will take a lot longer since they dont have much to shop with other than CP3, and they dont have a lot they can just go out and get. Paul wont be happy enough and they are just prolonging the inevitable. Perhaps they wanna keep him till trade deadline. I just think they wanna see the best deal they can get and make teams really throw some huge offers out. But who knows....only time will tell.

    Paul will never ever be happy with that team they need to rebuild like we said and start fresh that's the only way i see them even winning games next season Okafor is a lost hope. there saying something big is going to happen in the next 24 hours with Bayless but I wont be happy in less we land Paul but even if we don't we will be healthy
    this coming season lightning doesn't strike twice.

    Here is what I see with the Hornets. They have a new owner who's having financial problems due to his money being tied up in BP. We all know what is happening with BP oil in the Gulf of Mexico right now. Not only is he hemoraging money into the Gulf but if I were a fan in the state of Louisiana, do you  think I would be putting money in BP's pocket by attending a Hornet's game? I don't think so, not even if I have Chris Paul. From what I hear the city has decided that The Saints are their one and only team. The way I see it, this franchise (the Hornets that is) is probably on the move in the next 5 years anyway. If they don't trade him, they are just hurting their resale/relocation value because they will have nothing to build from after he leaves in Free Agency.
