In their first face-to-face meeting Monday, New Orleans Hornets general manager Dell Demps made quite a favorable impression on Chris Paul, sources close to Paul said. Demps also bought the franchise a little time with Paul, its star point guard, who had grown impatient with the team's inactivity during free agency. After hearing Demps' plan for retooling the roster, Paul, a three-time All-Star, is on board with the team's direction and will not seek to force a trade, according to sources close to him. Although Paul has refrained from offering details about Monday's meeting with Demps, Coach Monty Williams and team president Hugh Weber, sources said it was similar to a family sitting around a table and talking. http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ssf/2010/07/chris_paul_has_decided_not_to.html
