Hornets general manager Dell Demps says star guard Chris Paul did not request a trade during a meeting with New Orleans executives. Demps says he is confident that Paul will be playing with the Hornets this season after Monday's meeting, which included new coach Monty Williams and team president Hugh Weber. In a statement released by the team, Paul says he likes what he heard during the meeting from the Hornets about the "direction they want to take the team." Paul also says he hopes to remain with the team for years to come. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5411166
Well considering Paul can't leave the Hornets without being traded, and the Hornets not wanting him to leave; it is no surprise that their GM is "confident" he is staying put for next season.
