Why do you guys think CP3 will come back to New Orleans?

No one's saying it's likely but until he signs an extension with LAC, there's a possibility. It's not like he has his choice among all 30 teams. Only so many can afford to bring in a max player and we are one of them. The reason he wanted out in the first place was because of the lack of direction the franchise was taking. Now we have stability and a solid FO, a coach he liked playing for and better than VDN, and the ability to join a young, talented roster. Again, not saying it's likely. We do, however, need our 2 franchise players on the court so we can show the league that we are on the rise and FA's will be intrigued.

1) He said the other night after the Clippers game that he still loves Monty and he's watched every Hornets game this season. I think Paul was always being sincere when he said he liked New Orleans but he just wanted to win.

2) Assuming the Clippers implode in the playoffs, which is the only reason he'd leave them, what other team will have a max salary slot and a more attractive roster to join? Joining Dwight and Josh Smith in Atlanta really is the only other possible competition I can come up with if he decides to leave LA. But I'd almost be happier to see that happen because it would cripple the Lakers and Clippers and move 2 Superstars to the Eastern Conference.
