The year before he was drafted.....

they went 18-64 (2004-2005)...... these are the years following his arrival....

Rookie Season and Rookie of the year....... 38-44 (2005-2006)
Second season....................................... 39-43 (2006-2007)
Third Season.......................................... 56-26 (2007-2008)

I wouldn't say they sucked with Paul. I would say they went from the NBA's worst, to one game behind the lakers for the #1 seed (and N.O. lost their last game of the season and L.A. Lakers won their last 4 games of the season) mainly because of the acquisition and growth of one player....

aka franchise changer..... now we are seeing it again but with another team. This time he's got depth around him, but still lacks the coach he needs. But I think they will do great despite their sub par coach.
