CP3′s Latest Drama
The New Orleans Hornets are in some turmoil. They are in the process of changing owners and with that comes a lot of uncertainty. Enter Chris Paul.
Chris Paul is an amazing talent who is already being compared to Isiah Thomas despite only playing a few years and really being on a winner yet. Paul doesn’t want to get stuck in New Orleans with no real supporting cast while the Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls and other teams just keep getting better and better and you can’t really blame him but is this the way to go about it?
What bothers me is the difference in the 2 era’s that I’ve lived in. When I grew up you really tried your best to make it work where you got drafted. You had pride in staying with one organization and now those days are long gone. The scrutiny and pressure on these players to cement their legacies with titles and rings is amazing. Lebron folded under his pressure at age 25 and Paul looks like he is next.
Word is that he wants to go to New York with Amare and some other big name free agent to be next year in Carmelo Anthonly but who knows what will happen there. The Nuggets have already offered a 65 million dollar extension and that can’t be easy to turn down.
All I know is that Paul is an incredible talent and one of the best point guards we’ve seen in the last 20 years. He makes any team he is on immediately better and if he wants to jump ship any team would be wise to jump in now to make it happen.
