Ten thoughts on the New Orleans Hornets:
1. If Chris Paul never asked for a trade, then Im 7-foot-7 and can throw down a reverse slam while standing on my tippy toes.
2. In case you missed it, new Hornets coach Monty Williams told Sporting News: Chris never said anything about a trade. He never asked for a trade. He wants us to be a better team, but we all want that.
3. Say this much for Williams, if hes as good at coaching as he is at damage control, the Hornets are Finals bound.
4. Thats a joke, and none of this is intended to pick on Paul, Williams or the Hornets. And guess what? I believe Williams. I believe Paul never asked HIM for a trade. But word got out that Paul wanted to play somewhere else, and he did nothing to quiet that talk. Its the same thing as asking for a trade.
