Chris Paul's father Charles Paul spoke with Comcast about the NBA's decision to kill a trade that would have moved him to the Lakers.

"Chris is frustrated," said Charles Paul. "He's going to leave after the season anyway and it's not right that these owners are trying to dictate where Chris lands."

The Hornets were set to receive Kevin Martin, Luis Scola, Lamar Odom, Goran Dragic and a pick for Paul.

"That was a great deal for the Hornets," Charles Paul said. "This was something the owners should have discussed during the CBA negotiations. They shouldn't have thought Chris was going to re-sign with New Orleans. He wants to go somewhere he can win. That's it."
