Chris Paul, anyone?
Gee, who could have imagined Chris Paul’s world going so wrong?
Oh yeah, anyone who remembers the Charlotte Hornets’ world going so wrong.
For four years, Paul has been like a combination of Steve Nash and Will Smith, an NBA superstar with charisma bubbling out of him, capable of taking a rag-tag team with one other scorer (David West), one limited but willing big man (Tyson Chandler) and few shooters (Peja Stojakovic when healthy, Rasual Butler every other game or so, Mo Peterson when he could hit the broad side of a barn) within a game of first place in the West.
Paul did that two seasons ago at 22 , and didn’t even win the MVP. It went to Kobe Bryant, whose team won the West, with everyone aware CP3 had decades to win so many MVPS, he wouldn’t be able to see his fireplace.
Paul did a lot more than that, his smile and his play rescuing the NBA from its awkward position post-Katrina, with Hornets owner George Shinn aching to make his 2005 flight to Oklahoma City permanent.
Paul, who played his rookie season in Oklahoma, was so great, the Hornets, who had mattered little in New Orleans pre-flood, were guaranteed an audience when they returned in 2007.
That was the storied season that Paul led the Hornets to 56 wins in a stretch duel with the Lakers. It came down to their game in Staples the last weekend where the Hornets trailed by 30, then cut it all the way to one point in the fourth quarter before losing.
And now, this?
Gee, who’d have imagined Paul couldn’t single-handedly keep his little team up there if it didn’t not only didn’t get him help, it started dumping salary instead?
Oh yeah, anyone who gave it one second’s thought.
That was what started happening last season. In February, the Hornets traded Tyson Chandler, who was struggling with injuries, to Oklahoma City for Chris Wilcox and Joe Smith, or in other words, who?
The deal was done to dump Chandler’s $11.9 million salary. Coach Byron Scott wasn’t even consulted and fumed privately.
He wound up getting Chandler back when the Thunder doctors discovered an injury Tyson wasn’t even being treated for. That was a coverup to hide the real story: Thunder owner Clay Bennett pulled the plug, dismaying his basketball people.
Chandler finally went to Charlotte for Emeka Okafor, who makes as much and has a longer contract, so you can’t say the Hornets have given up.
Nevertheless, even with more acquisitions - Darius Songaila, Bobby Brown, Ike Diogu, rookie Darren Collison - you wouldn’t say they’ve turned the corner just yet.
The preseason consensus still had the Hornets in the playoffs. It hasn’t looked that way over the course of the regular season, all one week of it.
In the opener in San Antonio, they trailed by 25 before losing by 17. In the home opener, they had to come from behind in the last 1:12 to keep the Kings from upsetting them.
In the third game, they were tied in the fourth quarter in Boston before losing by 10. In the fifth, they fell to the 0-4 Knicks in New York.
In Boston, Paul tangled with Rajon Rondo and argued with him afterward, with Rondo reportedly telling him, “I’ve got a rung and you’re never gonna get one!”
Paul had to be restrained from going to see Rondo and discussing it personally.
In New York, Paul got only a polite reception with the World Series ongoing. Subsequent visits may start to resemble the pageants they hold when LeBron James, whom the Knicks dream of signing this summer, arrives.
Paul has an opt-out in 2012, but the Hornets aren’t headed upward, as the Cavaliers have been since James arrived, and owner George Shinn doesn’t always wait to see the whites of his opponents’ eyes.
Shinn is the brainiac who wrecked a paradise in Charlotte, where they built him the largest arena in the NBA for his expansion team and packed it for years, setting annual attendance records.
With the team descending after a rocket-rise (sound familiar?) negotiations with civic leaders for a new downtown arena got so adversarial, David Stern, himself, couldn’t repair the breach. With no good option - Shinn was checking out towns like Newport News, Va. - he set sailed for the market that was the least bad, New Orleans.
After their near-miraculous 2007-08 season, the Hornets are now on a Reality Asserting Itself downtick. Byron Scott, 2008 Coach of the Year, is on the last year of his contract with no extension forthcoming, meaning he’s been set up to take whatever fall needs taking.
Paul doesn’t second-guess management, but in New York he delivered a coded message: “Let me say this: I want to win. I … want … to… win. Whatever it takes me to do, I’m going to find a way.”
If Paul is “frustrated,” the word everyone is using, check back in spring if they drop another seven games in the standings, as in last season’s No. 7 finish.
At that point, the heat would be on Shinn to fix it or face losing his star, as it was on the Lakers’ Jerry Buss with Kobe Bryant in the summer of 2007.
Buss almost buckled in that one and he has a lot more going in terms of market, resources, organization and moxie than Shinn, who could bow before the obvious and bail, once again.
It’s not likely this season. CP3 is with the program, they haven’t taken the fall yet and the city wouldn’t stand for a trade.
Next season is a long way off so we’ll defer the long-range predictions/guessing. Nevertheless, the tide is going out, not coming in.

Kevin, If you remember, Kobe had one foot out the door until they traded for Gasol. During the 2007 Finals he went on the radio and said he was not “happy” and that maybe it was time for HIM to move on, since the Lakers weren’t surrounding him with enough talent.

I believe CP3 would be a great fit rebuilding the Knicks! Bring Chris Paul to New York. Keep David Lee & Nate as a 6th man. Lets get Rudy Gay & go after Duane Wade Or Amire S in the off season. That mix would make CP3 a happy man and bring respectable ball back to the Best Basketball City Period!

@JJ
What an ignorant comment when you said “He had the same team around him sans Pau Gasol that he has now! He just didn’t pass’em the ball.”
Do you want to know the roster Kobe had several years ago? Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, Brian Cook, Chris Mihm, Devean George, Luke Walton, Sasha Vujacic, Maurice Evans, Vlad Radmonovic, Ronny Turiaf, Andrew Bynum, and Lamar Odom. The only decent player on that list during those years was Odom, and ANYONE who watched a laker game back then knew he was the most inconsistent player. Bynum? Wasn’t even developed yet. Smush can’t even play in the NBA anymore. Kwame is a joke. Vujacic is hardly a “machine”. Almost all of these players would have been bench players on most other teams, but they were starters on the lakers. You’re a fool if you think the reason the lakers were bad in the past because kobe “didn’t pass them the ball.” Nobody would pass if their roster was made like this. How Kobe was able to drag this team to the playoffs is a mind-blowing miracle.

Dudes, the season is only A WEEK OLD!
There is plenty of time to figure this thing out. I didn’t like the Chandler trade either, because him and Paul play so well together, but Okafor is definate upgrade at centre. David West is an All-Star remember? Chris Paul is the PG in the game remember? They have 3 fantastic building blocks, all is not lost by a long shot.
They have a very good coach, but they need to get younger players at the wing postions who can run, shoot and play some defense. Rudy Gay’s name has come up more than once?
Also, Rondo better than Chris Paul? Seriously, give me a break and think about what you are writing before you post it up!
DON’T PANIC!
ChuckOldSchool Said,
November 5, 2009 @ 1:22 am
The Hornets are not that far off. They are just bad where most teams are really good.
Okafor is an upgrade over Chandler. West is a nice piece, maybe not a championship caliber side-kick, but he provides excellent production given the money he makes. 20 and 9 for 7.5 mill a year? Yes, please. He is probably going to opt out soon, and if the Hornets can lock him at a reasonable deal then that’s a good piece.
The problems for the Hornets are the production vs. investment in three players: Morris Peterson, Peja Stojakovic, and James Posey. They make a combined 30 mill a year and their play does not warrant half of that. The bad news is the Hornets are stuck with this wing group for 1 more season after this. The bad news is that Mo and Peja dont come off until after next season. The good news is that Chris Paul’s three year extension starts this year. So there is no need to panic. Yet. If:
1.) They can re-sign West to managable contract or sign and trade him.
2.) They can turn the expirings of Peja Stojakovic and Morris Peterson (about 22.5 million) or the cap space generated by their departure into serious help for CP.
2.) They can develop their young talent in the meantime, and draft well. Between Julian Wright, Darren Collison, and Ike Diogu. The Hornets could have the focal point of a solid bench down the road already primed and ready to go.
The sky is not falling in New Orleans. It’s just that the NBA relies on its stars to play in major markets. They do this on purpose, but its just a extension of their business model. Most journalists and average fans only follow the major market teams anyway. I mean look at LeBron James. There is no single situation that is better for him on the court and personally than Cleveland, yet we continue to hear about the Knicks, Nets, etc. Why? Because its New York.
New Orleans will just have to learn to deal with that. Chris Paul isn’t going anywhere though, so they don’t need to worry. They have time to give him the help he needs.

The season is 5 or 6 games old and everyone, including the writer, is acting as if the sky is falling because the Hornets lost a couple of games. Oh wait a minute, they won last night, so maybe now they are going to win the championship!
All 26 NBA teams want to win, so Chris Paul, “wanting to win” is neither special or noble. Everyone wants to win.
The Hornets are one or two players away from being a very good team.

Here is the Knicks lineup next year:

Chris Paul so badly wants to be a Celtic that he tried following them into their locker room. He probably also wants to ask Rondo how to be a better PG and how to actually get a RING. RINGS are all that count for all you brain dead hoop analysts. Duh.
nbafan Said,
November 5, 2009 @ 4:32 pm
There’s no way Rondo is better than CP. He’s not even a top 5 PG.
In no particular order, would you want Rondo over any of the following PGs?
1. Steve Nash
2. Jason Kidd
3. Deron Williams
4. Baron Davis
5. Chauncey Billups
6. Tony Parker
he’s good…but winning a ring, with KG, PP, and RA to pass the ball to, isn’t saying much. His teammates made HIM better…With Chris Paul, its the other way around…Tyson Chandler and David West would have been nothing without CP. Who has Rondo made better in his career?
space Said,
November 5, 2009 @ 4:58 pm
one lousy week of basketball and an obviously upset chris paul and all of a sudden he wants to leave… ? who interviewed him to get this quote? his team is in a bad way right now, but they are not far off. west has not played to his ability yet. paul doesn’t have a real 2-guard that he can play off [trading JR smith seems really idiotic too now doesn't it?]. no player on the roster has established themselves as a starting small forward and there is little chemistry with okafor.
okafor is a same style player as chandler except he adds about 4 more points per game. the problem is, he is under sized and teams really don’t respect that the way the did chandler at 7′ 1″. okafor has to get touches to score and they are just starting to figure him out. the bench is lackluster.
but don’t paint him for leaving until he says he is ready.
and if paul were a celtic, they might’ve swept the lakers in the finals. they left rondo completely alone ALL THE TIME. did he ever score more than 20 points? in the series? for all his defensive abilities he is a liability on offensive from the perimeter with his hesitance to shoot the long ball.

Porky you should stop making yourself sound stupid and shut up. Rondo WILL NOT have a ring if KG, Allen, or Pierce werent on the team. he dont even put up the same numbers CP3 does!!! AND he played in the mediocre EAST for the past 2 yrs until there are significant changes this season. I hate a guy who talks trash and cant back it up, I garantee you CP3 would’ve had atleast 2 rings if he played in boston. Rondo will never be as good as paul period. AND RINGS DONT MAKE THE PLAYER BETTER!!!
tells every one that read your posts that you’re either retarded and not watch any ball games except for the celtics games or your from boston…wait a couple years when the big 3 retires then Danny ainge will be punching himself asking why he gave Rondo all that money

Lol, Rondo is better than CP3? Rondo’s talented, but he’s basically a Tayshaun Prince level dude. If he were anywhere near as good as he seems to think he is, the Celtics wouldn’t have blinked at paying him max money and would plan to build their future around the guy instead of paying him less than Peja got from the Hornets and worrying about his immaturity. He wouldn’t have even been in the playoffs if they hadn’t picked up KG and Ray. Heck, he might not even be a starter if he didn’t have a Ray Allen type shooter to pick up his slack.
Folks who get all excited about Rondo because he’s got a ring are the kinda people who wouldn’t have traded Rick Fox for KG back in the day.

Rondo is an elite point gaurd, but calling him better than Chris Paul is rediculous. I agree with sentiment that he’s Tayshaun Prince’s level. Which, is basically a player you really want to have on your team, but he’s not a type a player you build a team around.
Which, is the kind of player Chris Paul is.
In regards to Paul, I don’t think he’s going anywhere. New Orleans would be foolish to trade him off, and if anything they’re probably looking to get rid of Peja, and free up some cap space in hopes of luring one of the big free agents in the summer of 2010. They won’t be able to acquire LeBron James or Dwayne Wade, but someone like Joe Johnston isn’t out of the question in my opinion.
