    Did anyone catch ESPN NBA Roundtable these past few nights? They've been discussing how Chris Paul looks really out of shape, shooting a terrible % and not really playing at an elite level while Darren Collison has looked really good towards the end of last season and coming into preseason.

    Would you have kept Collison? Paul might leave them with nothing...

    Maybe, just maybe. He doesn't want to play for this team.

    As a professional he should do his job whether its the team of his choice or not. That's part of being a professional.

    That's right, Chris - drive your value to the floor. Then Morey can scoop and score!

    Or he's just trying to drive down the price for the Knicks, Nets, or wherever Carmelo goes to trade for him :(

    It's preseason. If he's struggling in the regular season then that is when New Orleans fans should worry. Now not so much.

    It's just a screen shot of the Fox Sports homepage, not an actual link.

    In a few years that trade could potentially be viewed as one of the worst of the decade.

    What did he injure last year? All these injuries have to add up...

    Is it possible he hasn't been able to keep in shape because of his injuries?

    That would be a career saving move. Everyone knows beards are a sign of power.

    He hurt his knee running down a crazy inbounds pass from (I think) David West when the Hornets were trying to run out the clock at the game of a game. I remember it well. West must have lost his mind on the play, but nobody could know CP3 would hurt himself chasing the ball down. I'm definitely not the biggest CP3 fan, but it was sad when he came up hobbling. Very unnecessary.

    Yeah, I remember that play too.

    It was some crazy freak accident and entirely un-needed.
