Paul's Gold Will Go With Memories Of Grandfather

Chris Paul plans to put the gold medal he won in Beijing this month next to memories he has of his grandfather, according to Sun Herald.

"I still have the basketball in a frame back home when I scored 61 points," Paul said. "This medal will go somewhere next to that."

His 61-point performance came in high school, shortly after the murder of his grandfather Nathaniel Jones.

Paul is already planting the seed to return to Team USA in London.

"We want to defend it," he said. "It was so much fun. All of us were talking in the locker room afterward about (how) we've got to get back together in 2012."

Hornets Bring Back Devin Brown

The Hornets have signed swingman Devin Brown, who played in Cleveland last season after departing from New Orleans, according to The Times-Picayune.

"I'll be all over the place," Brown said Friday. "I can play one through four, basically. And if I was a couple of inches taller, I'd play at the five, too. Wherever coach (Byron Scott) needs me to play, I'll play."

Brown averaged 7.5 points a game last season with the Cavaliers.
