Would being on a better team lower your numberS?

They would have to get a lot back in return, and Chris Paul wouldn't want the trade if the team on the other end was giving too much.
NBA players can be such babies anymore...

Well that depends on what you see as a better team.. If he went to Orlando, I would say his numbers stay the same.. I believe he would be getting more assist with Dwight and Half-man half-amazing than he would be with New Orleans.. Scoring wise maybe a little less because they have ppl that can score. Chris Paul would fit perfect in Orlando IMO.

LOL.. We can only hope that he gets out of New Orleans.. but yeah.. Until he is a free agent all of this is just talk I guess. But then again, if Paul doesn't want to be in New Orleans, he may do more harm than good.. The GM may look at that as a possibility also.

If he gets mad and sits out or simply lays down and doesn't play up to his potential his stock is going to go way down. He would just be hurting himself and everyone around him.
It's always in every players best interest to simply play their hardest with the team they are on and worry about other teams when you are a free agent.
I hade it when you have situations like Gilbert Arenas and Stephon Marbury that simply don't want to listen to the people set in place to manage them.

I can agree with all of that..

Makes you wonder why Carmelo wouldn't want to come to NO Hornets, and get another guy to come alone to make the hornets a great team.

SD your right. CP3 Isn't Going Anywhere
NEW ORLEANS -- Chris Paul is staying put with the New Orleans Hornets -- at least for now.
The Hornets' star guard did not request a trade Monday in his meeting with new coach Monty Williams and top team officials, general manager Dell Demps said.

The English word thug, meaning a violent criminal, comes from the Hindi word thag (and originally from the Sanskrit word sthaga), meaning a thief or villain.Back in the 1500's, there was a god, in which ladies would come to. They would scarfice items to it, and also cut themselfs and the men would come and still there sacrifices and beat the women and they call themselves thugs"The original Thugs were bands of roving criminals in India who strangled and robbed travellers. Originally these gangs committed murder following precise religious rites to honour Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction.
Thug is a pretty broad term now-a-days. I think your attitude determines it. Like when the Nuggets were getting thumped by the Jazz in the playoffs and Melo says "I can't do it by myself".

Or when Kenyan Martin calls out Mark Cuban, and Mark Cuban calls him a thug... Kenyan Martin decides to go on and call him a bunch of nice names after words on live TV.
