Chris Paul took the opportunity to express how much he loves the city of New Orleans on Tuesday, but was far less committal about his future with the Hornets.

Paul said his meeting with Hornets general manager Dell Demps, head coach Monty Williams and team president Hugh Weber on Monday "went really well."

He even said he's "never been able to envision" continuing his NBA career anywhere but New Orleans.

However, when given the chance to say that he did not want to be traded, Paul said now was not the time.

"There will be a time," Paul said.

"I stay committed to the city of New Orleans," Paul said. "Everything else we talked about [in Monday's meeting with the club], like Mr. Demps said, we want to keep some of that stuff private."
