In the NEW ORLEANS TIMES-PICAYUNE, John Reid writes "the Hornets' All-Star point guard was more interested in signing a shorter-term extension that provided assurances that the team's core group -- center Tyson Chandler and forwards David West and Peja Stojakovic -- would remain together for the nex t three seasons. ‘I'm trying to make sure those guys are here with me,' Paul said Wednesday at the New Orleans Arena. ‘When those guys' contracts are up, I want them to sign another one to stay with us. Everyone who knows me knows that I'm not big on change. So when I find out that someone in the office has left, I want to know what's going on.'"
