Hornets set to offer Paul an extension

[jonathanlambert33]

New Orleans Hornets general manager Dell Demps says he intends to talk to Chris Paul about a contract extension when rules allow for it this summer and that he believes the franchise has regained the All-Star point guard's confidence.

Demps says Paul has told him and coach Monty Williams that he sees the Hornets moving in the right direction.

Demps and Williams say the plan this offseason is to look for ways to build a title contender around Paul, who averaged 22 points, 11.5 assists and 6.7 rebounds in a first-round playoff loss to the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers.

Demps says that plan includes bringing back power forwards David West, who can opt out of his contract, and Carl Landry, who is a free agent.

"He's made some comments to us that he's happy and he likes the direction that we're going," Demps said, "and we're happy with him and we want to just keep building and growing."

FPS, get it through your head, CP3 is not going to the Knicks, it's not mathematically possible.

I didnt even mention the Knicks, and it is mathematically possible. A player can always take a pay cut lol. DUH

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Do you know what kind of paycut he'd have to take? Not possible.

[jonathanlambert33]

It's obviously not obvious if you have people still believing it could happen...

Ouch Pugz, that one really hurt. I dont think hes going to the Knicks anymore for reasons stated previously. Its funny you are the one telling me I have no real nba knowledge and yet you were the one who said there was no way Melo was going to the Knicks, lol please. It was a joke.

actually, i take that back because i respect you as a poster. but the pipe dreams that knick fans have been living in are getting annoying.


but id like to know where i said melo wasnt gonna be a knick? i never said that. i said theyd be better off signing him in the off-season, and guess what? they would have been.

and dont try to say shit about my nba knowledge. im confident that i am indeed smarter then you when it comes to the nba.

 

[cruzg24]

I dont really think we are going to get Dwight or Cp3. I think we will get very adequate players though that will make us very competitive.

About your Melo thing:

Ok, you are smarter about the NBA. But I bet I have better standardized test scores!

i said that in july. that was before any major talks about melo to new york started. lol. i knew hed end up in new york but i said they should sign him during free agency. which they should have.


and you probably do, but im not a college student and when i was in high school michigan was still charging students $100 for your ACT and SAT so i opted to not take them. lol. plus youre gonna be a pilot, id hope you have higher test scores.

Anyone think CP is legit gonna re-up with N.O?

Anyone think CP is legit gonna re-up with N.O?

I don't think anyone can say yes or no right now, it all depends on the new CBA.
