New Orleans Strip Clubs: Rumor: has Chris Paul to NY Knicks been in the works for weeks?
July 23, 2010
HoopsVibe’s Very Quick Call: No doubt about it, Chris Paul to the New York Knicks has been in the works for weeks.
After all, Paul and the New Orleans Hornets couldn’t possibly last. Not in today’s polarized NBA, where a few big spenders dominate and the rest of the league gets the table scraps.
New Orleans as a market can’t generate enough revenue to provide Paul with a supporting cast. And New Orleans’ owner, George Shinn, either lacks the pockets or will to personally pay for talent.
So it wasn’t a if, but a when. When would the point guard tire of small market New Orleans and demand a trade to a major market.
Enter the Knicks.
New York is the media capital of the world. They play in historic Madison Square Gardens. Owner James Dolan has no issue throwing money around like a multi-platinum rapper at the strip club.
