I bet that Riley would have taken him if he could. Hell he took JWill!
I may be wrong but I think the guy can fit in somewhere and contribute in a positive way. He is a prima dona for sure but so are a lot of other guys. He has unique talents and is a tough matchup. I am looking forward to seeing him play with the Nuggets full roster. Theyare a flawed team but very interesting.
BTW - I went to Hornets/Mavs game sat. was VERY impressed with Chris Paul. I had never seen him in person before. Great court vision, good range, great first step, gambling defender, played whole game with out looking winded or tired. Completely dominated. Hornets are a bad team without Peja, West and Bobby Jackson. Desmond Mason stinks. Tyson Chandler plays as though he has absolutly no clue what is going on. He did a good job on Dirk in the 1st half but was totally ineffective on O and Dirk ate Marc Jackson for lunch.

Chris Paul may be the 2nd best PG in the league. I love that guy. Only in his second year. I would trade Tony Parker for him in a NY minute. Of course the Hornets would never take it.
