Hornets coach Monty Williams plans to sit down with Chris Paul for a face-to-face meeting in the near future.

Williams wants to clear the air amid reports that Paul is unhappy in New Orleans.

"I want him to feel as excited as I am about where we're going," Williams said Friday. "We have a bit of a new vision that I think is something that he can be excited about ? and not just from an on-the-court standpoint. We're working to get this thing continuing in the right direction."
