Chris Paul Trade Rumors Could Be The Next Talk of The Town

Filed under: Hornets, Nets, Trail Blazers, NBA Free Agents

He's not a free agent, and he's certainly far from free.



But Chris Paul is possibly this: the summer's next storyline.



As the circus continues in Cleveland with LeBron James as the ringleader, with free agency 2010 offshoots taking place in Chicago and Miami and New York and Los Angeles, the idea that the summer's next big splash could be the trading of New Orleans point guard Chris Paul seems more real by the day.



It often goes that way when a rising star is stuck with a team on the decline, and the signs are strong that the fifth-year pro wants out. He means it when he says he loves New Orleans, and those who know him say it's not his style to demand a trade in the city that adores him back, but the continuing ownership uncertainty and bleak organizational outlook are clearly an irritant to the three-time All-Star.
