If it is a PR move then Sterling not committed to paying Paul. Sterling probably realizes if he pays CPME no way he can afford to keep Griffin.

Now if you just wanted to be in a bigger market because people are in your ear telling you you should be in a big market or your thinking that being in a bigger market gives you a better chance at winning, then just say so. But don't go there talking like you're going to a winning, ten times better organization. Just don't do that. I think that's what a lot of people here's beef is with Chris. The only thing the Clippers had over the Hornets at the time that Paul left was stability. Stability in knowing that the Clippers weren't a relocation threat. That, along with them being in a big market. That is all they had over the Hornets.

Good post. But the Clippers were not his initial choice nor destination. The Lakers Fiasco did happen. Ultimately, Stern stepped in and Chris was sent to the Clippers for what was supposed to be the better deal. Its unclear how much choice he had in the matter. And honestly, the Clippers were a very young team at that time and in a relatively good position to move forward. But I think it largely boils to down the instability and long term prospects of our Organization at that time. It didn't look like we were ever going to be in a position to offer him stability or a chance of winning at that time. So I don't blame him for wanting to go to the Lakers. The clippers was basically, its better to be there in a large market than in what was a sinking ship of the Hornets at that time.

No, it may not have been his initial choice but he was happy to accept it to get away from our "sinking ship" so like I said, let him deal with it.

And what is Sterling thinking? He should've at least waited until he had Paul's signature before coming out with this. :hihi:

I'm not sure exactly what you are saying here, but yes Dallas can offer Chris a max contract. They have roughly 23 million (minus the cap space for draft pick) to spend. They want Howard too though, not sure how this will happen without someone taking a drastic pay cut.

You got it. Some people around the city act like the jealous ex girlfriend whose ex upgraded. The Hornets were a team with unsteady ownership/future and a roster that was far from championship contention and we weren't going anywhere until the roster was blown up. No chance we would get out of the first round with Okafor, Ariza, and Belineli. CP3 doesn't owe anything to us, he's a man that is chasing his dream of winning a championship. In fact, we should be grateful with how he left us. If he stayed and finished out that season, he would've still left in FA, plus we don't get Eric Gordon, Aminu, the pick that gave us Austin Rivers, and we wouldn't have been sucky enough to land our franchise player with the 1st pick ANTHONY DAVIS. I hope Chris finds a place to win a ring and it'd be nice if it were here.

Chasing a dream with the behavior of a spoiled brat? Yeah how is that Clippers dream working out?

With the team that they had, with one of the best benches in the league, one of the most promising PF's in the league, the best PG in the league, and all those other pieces, there is no excuse that they were a first round exit. Normally after regressing from the past year(they won in the first round, against the Memphis) the coach's job will come under review. Everyone and their mother knows that VDN is not a good enough coach to get them where they want to go. I remember him saying something along the lines of "coaching really isn't that important, the players on the court doing what they are supposed to do is" or something like. It is no surprise to me that he got fired and I doubt Chris Paul was the only one who wanted a real coach. People on here are hating on Chris way too much for this and are overlooking the fact that VDN pretty much should have been fired anyway.

Chris is pissed because the owner released to the public that it was pretty much 100% Chris' fault VDN got fired. The ownership threw their best player, who they are currently trying to sign, under the bus, is that a legitimate reason to be pissed? yes. What does it say about Chris that he wants a real coach? That he wants to win or that he is "a whinny titty baby" who likes large markets. This is just straight up hate.

Keep believing everything he says if you want but it's all BS.

If I remember correctly and correct me if I am wrong... It was either the Clippers or Golden State Warriors... And Golden State wasn't gonna trade unless they knew for sure CP3 was going to resign with them..

I wonder if anyone realize that resigning CP3 might be the worst idea for our franchise at this point of our rebuild.

Chris would literally be walking into the same situation as he did 2 years ago with the Clips, a young up-and-comming team that will suddenly be forced into "win now" mode biased on his mere presence.

Unless Dwight can be garuenteed with him, we will return back to the days of the old Nola Hornets. AD,Gordon, and Anderson are nice, but we have no answer to SFs like Melo or Igodaula and little to answer a strong center like Pek or Howard.

This is both funny and agitating at the same time. People are mad because he left, when he was here we dangled around the 8th-7th seed making the 2nd seed 1 time... Lets be honest who did we have and who were we bringing in... Chris gave us 6 years and we still didn't do anything... If anything he gave us a brighter future allowing us to get AD, Rivers, EJ, and Ryno... Some some quoted that he went to the bottom 3-5 team, and look at them now they are the top 5 team in the western conference...even when he were on this team we were 8th-7th seed... So whats the point... And as for him acting like a whining sounds like ppl are doing the same thing

And after all that it still might not be enough to keep him there. He wants to win right? Is he happy just being on a top 5 team in the WC?

And don't forget we were a top 2 WC team once.

I agree. I don't blame Paul for forcing an exit and, honestly, I think of all the superstars that switched teams recently, he EASILY had the most viable reasoning. George Shinn wasted his career by not hiring scouts/overall cheapskating; pre-Demps management dumped strong players like Chandler and hauled in non-difference makers like Posey; the team had zero flexibility and even though he professed to liking Monty Williams a ton, he's getting older, has knee issues and we weren't going ahywhere without a rebuild. Also, we didn't have an owner, so how was he even to know where the organization was headed? He'd have been a fool to resign here.

IMO, Paul never leaves New Orleans if management keeps the core of he, West and Chandler together, adds some pieces and they continue to win. Maybe I'm wrong on that.

Anyway, I don't see him really thinking about a return. We're still a very young team, and I think he wants to play for a "win now" product.

Yea once at least they are consistent with theirs... They have been the top 4-5 seed both years

Yes because CP said to the New Orleans franchise "Don't worry you will draft AD23 and be fine." I don't thank CP for giving us AD because he didn't. He left so he can make Cliff Paul commercials and now has to deal with the Clipper franchise and he's learning real quick how much that sucks.

Is two years consistency good enough for him to re-sign there? Is top 4-5 seed good enough for him? Hopefully for the Clips it is.

It had also been "assumed" that the Hornets gave up Thornton and Collison to appease Paul. Don't know how true that is but I wouldn't be surprised. It's the kind of things teams often do to keep some players in this player driven league happy.

To the people that have soured feelings over Chris (not saying dislike, because I know better, you loved him when he was here), I want to ask this question. Is there any denying that Chris Paul is worth at least a .500 record to just about any team barring injury? You saw what happened when he went from the Hornets to the Clippers.

I do believe they gave up Thornton to get some front court depth in Carl Landry? That did help us out when West got hurt at the end of the season and Landry played well in the playoffs. The Collison trade was made because he earned a starting position and the team probably still had intentions to keep Paul longterm. That was the trade that dumped Posey and brought in Ariza if I remember correctly.

There's no denying that but is that all we want? Is Paul satisfied with just a .500 record? Is that all we should be satisfied with? When are we, as NOLA fans, going to want more than that?

That is really not the issue. Nobody said Chris Paul is a bad player though he is aging. The issue is his antics. Do you really want that back here? C.J. Paul etc.
