Demps said he hoped Paul would not become disruptive as long as he remains in New Orleans.



"I don't anticipate that," Demps said.

If Paul were[moderated by Raymon] traded, it would be only the latest change, but perhaps highest-profile one, for a franchise in flux.

Nearly three months ago, the[moderated by Raymon]Hornets' founding owner, George Shinn, reached a verbal agreement [moderated by Raymon]to sell his majority share of the club to partner and Louisiana businessman Gary Chouest. A final sale is still pending, however, and both Shinn and Chouest have[moderated by Raymon]declined to discuss the holdup.

In the meantime, former general manager Jeff Bower, who also served as head coach after Byron Scott was fired last season, has stepped down. When the Hornets hired the 38-year-old Williams in June, he became a first-time coach and the youngest one in the NBA. Then Demps, 40, replaced Bower in the front office. Demps, a former San Antonio [moderated by Raymon]
Spurs executive, is a first-time general manager.

Raymon, I don't see the relevance of this one, unless the pope plans to endorse the jersey. Actually still do not see the relevance of this one
