The Nets appear to have the pieces needed to acquire Chris Paul from the Hornets, but it remains to be seen if a trade is in the future.

For now, New Orleans isn't interested in trading Paul and New Jersey may not be willing to part with players like rookie Derrick Favors.

However, that doesn't mean new Nets general manager Billy King isn't going to at least put out a feeler for Paul.

"I'm not going to comment on that other than to say we will do our due diligence as we normally would," King said.
