“Chris Paul’s agent plans to travel to New Orleans on Wednesday with the intention of completing a contract extension that would keep the All-Star and Team USA point guard with the Hornets for an additional three to five years (ESPN).”
Paul is expected to sign a multi-year extension for up to $80 million dollars. Obviously this signing had to be done. Chris Paul catapulted himself into the superstar stratosphere this past season. Paul is the best point guard in basketball and he got screwed out of the MVP award this year. There is no doubt that this deal includes a nice bonus for when (not if) CP3 collects his MVP award. Paul averaged 21 points and 12 assists last season. This signing solidifies the Hornets chances in the West for the next few years. They have a good nucleus consisting of Paul, David West, and Tyson Chandler. New Orleans finished this past season with the second best record in the western conference.
