Three-time All-Star point guard Chris Paul said he likes the current changes under way with the New Orleans Hornets and believes they are moving in the right direction involving their search to hire a general manager Sounding upbeat, Paul gave a brief telephone interview Monday afternoon to promote his youth basketball camp next week in New Orleans and his partnership with restaurateur Al Copeland Jr., in hosting a “Party with a Purpose’’ charity event to benefit both of their foundations for cancer research. Paul avoided speaking specifically about Jeff Bower’s sudden departure after 15 years last week or his alleged wedding toast in New York last weekend, in which he predicted the formation of a big three with the New York Knicks involving himself and Carmelo Anthony – with the two joining newly acquired Amare Stoudemire. “I’ve mostly been concentrating on working out to get ready for the season, but I got a chance to watch some of our summer league games,’’ Paul said. http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ssf/2010/07/chris_paul_likes_current_chang.html
