Chris Paul requests trade to N.Y. - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
Honestly, this is why I'm hating the NBA so much. The CBA did nothing to help out small market teams and now you see EVERY superstar free agent wanting out to go to a 'super team'. Another reason to hate LeBron, he started all the best players going to team up with their buddies.
I like Chris Paul as a player a ton, but this is just silly.
Chris Paul’s agent informed New Orleans Hornets officials on Wednesday that his client will not sign a contract extension and wants to be traded to the New York Knicks, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
As soon as the NBA lifts its lockout restrictions, Hornets general manager Dell Demps wants to meet with Paul and hear that directive from him.
Nevertheless, the prospects of the Hornets executing a trade with the Knicks appear to be relatively dim. The Knicks simply don’t have the trade assets that come close to meeting New Orleans’ criteria for a deal. Demps has been listening to overtures from teams around the league, and has been actively working under the assumption that Paul would reject a contract extension.
