Paul Holds the Keys to LeBron's Heart?

As the July 1 start of free agency pushes closer, powerbroker William Wesley has been working multiple angles to NBA front offices about possible trades and signings. Here’s his latest: World Wide Wes has been pitching teams with salary-cap space that trading for New Orleans Hornets star Chris Paul(notes) will dramatically increase their chances of signing LeBron James(notes), multiple sources told Yahoo! Sports.

New Orleans general manager Jeff Bower has no intention of trading Paul, but multiple league executives believe that until owner George Shinn closes on the team’s sale with billionaire oilman Gary Chouest, there is a price with which Paul could be pried away.

“He can be had with Shinn in there, but once the new guy takes over, he’s off the market,” one senior front-office executive told Y! Sports.

If I was CP I'd be kind of upset that Wes would (allegedly) do something like that.

If Lebron wants to with Paul, why doesn't he just demand a S&T to New Orleans?

Who makes this stuff up?

Shinn is selling because he is bleeding money.
CP is NOs best asset
Why would the prospective buyer have his future team's best assets sold off?
Would Shinn jeopardize his sale? How much cash could he possibly get in a transaction?

I cannot believe the crud rolling off the presses the last couple days.
