Chris Paul is trying to decompress by spending time with family, visiting children his foundation works with and generally avoiding thoughts of his future with the New Orleans Hornets. "Right now, I'm just paying attention to what I'm doing here for these kids," Paul said Friday while stopping by a charter elementary school where his CP3 foundation and Chase bank sponsor an after-school program. "This is my down time. ... I'm not even thinking about that type of [contract] stuff." Paul has two years remaining on his contract, but can opt out after next season. Hornets general manager Dell Demps has said he intends to offer Paul an extension when league rules allow for that in mid-July, though the process could be delayed if there is an NBA lockout when the league's collective bargaining agreement expires at the end of June. "That's not even something that I think about," Paul said of Hornets' planned extension offer. "The lockout is probably the biggest issue right now. Those are different things that I'll have to worry about once we get to it." Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=6543765
