Demand or not, we know he wants out. All you have to do is watch his interview from this morning. It goes without saying.

I was pretty impressed with the moves. Considering the assets they had, I would say those moves turned out pretty positive. At least a step in the right direction towards a highly competitive team.
This.
The team was in cap hell at that time between bad deals to guys like MoPete and Posey as well as having dead spots on the roster like JuJu.
Turning trash to treasure by moving MoPete, Posey, Peja, and others while getting useful pieces in return like Marco, Willie Green, Jason Smith, and Landry was a very impressive job considering the assets he had to work with.

Ya I think he sent out that statement for damage control

Absolutely. Im not sure what Paul expected if he thought the team could do much more then that over one offseason. He must have had unrealistic expectations because looking at what the Hornets were able to do is nothing less then impressive.

Does CP3 want to go to NYC? Yes. Is NYC the only place CP3 wants to go? No. Is there any chance he'd stay in New Orleans? Small, but, yes.

Interesting. But Im almost not buying it at this point. I am hoping the other teams that he would be okay with going to includes the Clippers at least.

I'd hope that as well, but I'm not counting on it. I'm thinking the Lakers, which won't do us much good.

His choice of teams will include everyone that doesn't have any tradable assets that we would actually want it seems.

MoPete was traded before Demps got here.
Posey was only taken because we were being ripped off in what we were receiving back.
We were a better team when we had Peja and Bayless compared to just Jack. This team lacked perimeter shooters and the two we had, we traded away.
I did like the deals he made for Marco, Smith and Green though.
Im not ready to anoint Demps as some savior, but I do know he will at least put in the effort to make this team better.

I like Demps because he seems to at least be a competent GM. The walrus wrecked this team hard. We needed a guy with passion and at least shows the desire to put in work.

This move gets a huge *. It's no coincidence that the league bought the team soon after that trade. If it was mandated from the top to cut payroll and avoid bankruptcy for one more pay period, it's actually a very good move by Demps. He converted most of Peja's contract to a trade exception and got a comparable back up PG for Bayless.

How much of what The Walrus did was because Shinn insisted on the bottom line instead of winning?
There were a number of dumb deals under his watch, but most of them seemed influenced by Shinn's desire to get out of the luxury tax.

Definitely something to consider.

Basically by coming out and saying he won't sign anywhere but NY is his last 
as he's leaving the building...he could (and should) have not said anything at all and let whatever happened, happen; but nooo, he had to get his cronies to release this info, and basically force our hand.
I really hope the NBA considers a fix to this crap in the near future. Like fining a player everytime something like this happens, or make the ESPN reporter reveal his source.

True, but other desirable big market teams do have assets that OTHER teams want, and a 3 or 4 team trade could net us some nice pieces. The Lakers could ship off Bynum, Gasol, Odom, etc to other teams and they could ship off assets we want to us.
The Knicks have literally nothing (outside of Amare and Melo) that would net anyone anything in a multi-team trade or otherwise.
I stand by it. If he's traded, there is 0% chance its the Knicks.

Oh, they're going to find a way to frick with him over this.
The league owns the team right now and CP3 is the main asset they can use to get it off their books.
Him doing this is giving the finger to 28 owners who aren't James Dolan. I don't think they're going to take that well, especially since the CBA isn't ratified yet.

With you on this, absolutely.

frick this. Even if we have money to sign free agents later on no one wants to play here in a small market. We are fricked forever. Doesn't make sense because look what drew brews is doing In a small market
