Hornets, Chris Paul agree to 4 year, $68 million extension

http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/sports/articles/0704nbanotes0704.html

The Hornets made a smart move today, agreeing in principle to a new deal with PG Chris Paul to a 4 year, $68 million extension. The deal actually calls for 3 years with a player option for the 4th, but Paul still has one year remaining on his original deal and with the way the Hornets broke through in the playoffs it would be hard to imagine him leaving. However, things change quickly in this league, but at least they are making the right moves now.
