Now Chris Paul DEMANDS to be traded? I've got the perfect solution

[charlie and algernon]

ship his ass to the Knicks but ask for Amare Stoudemire in the return. Trade him like he wants but let him go from a crappy team in NOLA to a crappy team in NYC. That'll teach him.

Or just let him sit out for a season, it's not like the Hornets NEED to trade him.

1. This is why I really don't follow the NBA...

...they are such jackasses.

2. Criminetly. Let him pull a "Michael Jordan" and bowl for a year.

Seriesly, CP3 is an accomplished bowler, at least on the level of MJ in the outfield or Tony Romo in golf.

Off the court, Paul is a notable ten-pin bowler and a sponsored spokesperson for the United States Bowling Congress (USBC). He has participated in numerous celebrity and youth bowling events as the head of the CP3 Foundation to benefit programs in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina, and charities in his native town of Winston-Salem.

3. Surprise, surprise. James Gang is behind this.

He should stay on course to be his generation’s Tim Duncan(notes), but that no longer appeals to Paul. He’s veered the wrong way, into the wrong clutches. Bad enough that LeBron James(notes) damaged his own standing in the sport this summer, he wants to take down Chris Paul with him too.

James, his business manager Maverick Carter and powerbroker William Wesley have far too much influence over Paul’s career, and they’re running it right out of the sunshine and into darkness. They’re using Paul as a commodity to elevate their clout, to show how they can take a player with no contractual leverage and muscle him out of New Orleans.

What they don’t care about – and maybe don’t understand – is that Paul built such a beautiful, unique relationship with the city of New Orleans. He’s been so truly invested there, a beacon and ambassador in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Yet, the James gang see these bonds as disposable and they’re convincing Paul of it, too....

James was referencing Paul’s half-baked trade request that’s come through Worldwide Wes. Do what’s best for your family? Here’s an idea: What Paul ought to do is run away from James, Wesley, Carter and not stop moving until he’s returned to New Orleans and reaffirmed the obligations he’s made there. No, this isn’t a championship team, but a franchise player reveals himself in good times and bad.
