Hornets No Longer Opposed To Trading Paul

[Guest STL10]

Many people around the NBA and those close to Chris Paul believe the Hornets are now open to trading him.

 

Paul is open to playing in New York or with the Nets, according to sources. Paul was furious when his name was mentioned in Memphis trade rumors.

 

The Blazers have long been one of Paul's most adamant pursuers and have 'bordered on tampering' with the point guard, according to Wojnarowski's report.

 

William Wesley and Maverick Carter have been involved in Paul's affairs as well and the former has attempted to shop Paul to other teams.

 

George Shinn issued a statement on Wednesday that did not include an assurance that Paul won't be traded.

 

GM Jeff Bower isn't shopping Paul, but he isn't rejecting proposals flatly as he was a few months ago.--Yahoo!

As much as I hate to say it, it's sounding more and more like he may be headed to New Jersey tomorrow (well, today I guess). If that happens, my money is on LeBron becoming a Net.

From Chad Ford a bit ago...

 

It's time to end all of the Chris Paul speculation that grew like wildfire over the past few days. The Hornets did receive a few calls about Paul, but a very good source in New Orleans tells me they aren't trading him. Owner George Shinn may want to save cash, but he can't part with with his franchise cornerstone.

I don't buy it... mainly because of his injuries.

 

If he had been healthy, then I'd believe it... but he's been injury prone. There has to be the right price for him.
