re: Chris Paul's agent informs Hornets that star won't sign deal, wants trade to NY

I haven't seen anything that said it's Knicks or bust.

well, its obvious that is where he wants to play long term. At least at this point.

If that were the case what was the purpose of leaking that he'd resign with the Clippers?

That had no basis. Not that he wouldn't, but his agent is saying NYK. He is actually putting his name to that. If he would go LAC, why wouldn't his agent say that?


NYK- Carmelo & Amare are young and signed long term. The future of NYK is set in stone compared to the other teams. Not to mention the huge market. The NYK are set up best to win in the future.

Bos- Old team. Garnett and Ray Allen are FA's next year. Paul Pierce is signed long term but is aging. He isnt going to sign onto a rebuild.


LAC- they sell the house to get CP3, they are left with him and Blake Griffin, and they hope they can sign DHoward or someone else in free agency after this season. Too many question marks, unless some type of verbal agreement with another player about coming there next season. How is this situation a "near contending team"?
