The Hornets would have been an average team in the NBA. Being average in the NBA is like purgatory, you are stuck. They are much better off blowing the team up and starting over. I also like that they are sticking it to Paul. He doesn't deserve the extra salary he can get if stays with his current team if it really wasn't his current team.
