With the NBA set to resume on Dec. 25, word has it that Chris Paul is interested in leaving the New Orleans Hornets and joining BFF Carmelo Anthony on the NY Knicks team. Get the deets inside...
Now that the NBA games are about to begin, superstars like Chris Paul "might be" making negotiations to head to more favorable places....like New York City.
The NY Post reports that Chris Paul's agent, Leon Rose, (who is also conveniently the agent of his good friend and Jordan Brand partner Carmelo Anthony) had asked the Hornet's general manager Dell Demps to trade Chris to the Knicks. He added that newlywed Chris will not sign a contract extension to remain in New Orleans. Yikes! Sounds serious....
But all of this is still rumor as the New Orleans Times Picayune says this conversation never happened.
“Paul made no such trade demand,’’ the source told The Post. “Rose is simply putting it out there to the media where his client wants to go.”
So what does Chris think about the rumor?
“I don’t think about it to tell you the truth. I’m just ready to get out here and compete. “This is what I do. I have a very tight circle and they know this whole lockout thing has been driving me nuts. I’m just happy to get out on the court and compete.’’
Carmelo added,
“I told him just make the best decision for you and your family. He responded that he saw what I went through last year. I’m pretty sure there’s a certain part of him that doesn’t want to deal with that. ... I don’t think the NBA needs that right now.”
Will going to the Knicks be a great move for cutie Chris?
Dallas Mavericks baller DeShawn Stevenson has a new skill set that's sure to keep the lights out..... tattooing!
On Monday, DeShawn and a few of his friends headed into the Fallen Sparrow Tattoo Co. in Kissimmee, FL and DeShawn asked if he could get "behind" the needle and ink someone.
TMZ reports that a tattoo artist named Chad allowed Deshawn to ink his leg with his jersey number, 92. So what's it like being a burgeoning tattoo artist's guinea pig? Chad said,
"For a first-timer, he actually did a pretty good job."
We'll take your word for it Chad!
