Chris Paul is not going to return to New Orleans as a free agent this coming summer

When LeBron James, the prodigal son, returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers nearly three years ago, he was widely applauded for writing the words, “I’m coming home.”

Please, stop waiting to hear the same phrase come out of Chris Paul’s mouth in reference to New Orleans this summer.

While a return would make for a fantastic story and be fun to contemplate CP3’s intriguing fit alongside Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins, it’s thoroughly unwise to rationally believe CP3 will entertain donning a Pelicans uniform for the 2017-18 season.
