Sports Thread #2 For 7/22/10: The Insensitivity Of CPMeMeMe

To continue from last night , not only is Chris Paul being an insensitive jerk to New Orleans and the Hornets' community. Moreover, Paul has made a clown of himself towards even Orlando Magic point guard Jameer Nelson. Imagine if Ryan Zimmerman of the Washington Nationals demanded he get traded to the Chicago White Sox for Gordon Beckham, all because he needs to be in a winning better environment and do whatever it took to make that trade occur.

It wasn't his fault that they traded Tyson Chandler for Emeka Okafor and never got a perimeter two guard scorer who can slash to the basket to take the pressure off of Chris Paul (since David West ain't doing the business). It truly does amaze me how Lawrence Frank has kept his job with the Nets.
