The Hornets, meanwhile, have been looking at Orlando, Charlotte and New Jersey as potentially attractive trade partners once the firestorm settles down, according to one of the people with direct knowledge of the Hornets' strategy. Two other sources familiar with the situation confirmed prior discussions involving the Bobcats and Nets and said those talks are expected to advance in the coming days.

There are indications that the Hornets believe the Magic, Bobcats and Nets would have equally, if not more attractive assets to offer. The positive spin emanating from Monday's meeting allows the Hornets to "keep working on it," and puts them in "a better negotiating position to do so," said one of the sources.

So this all seems to be a PR deal by Paul and his "camp." Interesting read and definetly re-opens doors that we may have thought were closed recently. So it anything, let the rekindled speculation continue. Let the banter begin :D

After Chris gave a list of teams he'd be willing to get traded to, I'd be shocked if he ends up in Charlotte.

It's good for us. It would be just surprise me.

I know people say that New Orleans will do what's best for their team, and screw Paul's feelings but there are two sides to that problem.

One, even the Bobcats don't want a guy in their locker-room who doesn't want to be there. Secondly, the Hornets hope to sign other players in the future. Players, like the rest of us, talk to other friends (ie: players) and share their feelings about how teams are run.

No front office wants to be seen badly and if New Orleans tosses Paul into a situation he doesn't want, in the long run, nothing good will come of it for them.

I really think all that "List" stuff was complete bullshit and basically just speculation on where the MEDIA thinks he'll go. Im still believing that stuff about Paul to Charlotte, etc that was talked about 2 weeks ago. Looks like it could be true..

I think this article confirms the talks new orleans had with charlotte two weeks ago that seemed to fly under the radar by the national media. Secondly, if Paul isn't dealt before the season he probably won't make it the rest of the two years on his contract. IT seems that most of the national media is a step behind what is really going on...except for maybe CBS, who has been consistently close to what we've been hearing for weeks now.

Yeah that list was BS. Not to say I think he's coming to Charlotte, but I am sure our FO is trying their hardest to get him here and CP3 would not be opposed.

And I just cannot believe Paul's statement yesterday. Like someone stated it was all PR. I could even tell from the new GM's statement that he didn't even beleive in what he was saying. I think Paul is still trying to find a way out.

I'm not saying CP3 will end up in Charlotte. But lets not forget that S-Jax was traded to the 'Cats when Charlotte wasn't on his "list". But S-Jax took it in stride like the professional he is. I'd expect Paul to do the same if he were traded to a team not on his list.

As for the Hornets front office. They'll trade Paul if he wants out, but you better believe their not gonna just trade him to NYC or Orlando for peanuts. The team that makes the best offer, will be the team that lands Chris Paul.

You have to believe of the teams mentioned charlotte and orlando has the most to offer. Especially in terms of cap relief with expiriing contracts in orlando and damps in charlotte. I believe nelson and carter have expiring contracts.

      Bills predictions

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.

      This makes me wish we took a flyer on Quinn Ewers late in the draft

      He has been a good player and clean player over the years. I don’t follow that close but think he was closing in on setting his resume for his place in the all time rankings. I am sympathetic to him becaus this will hurt him there.
