He played 6 years in New Orleans and 4 years in LA plus his best years statistically were in New Orleans. I think he would be voted in as a Hornet.

Today, I guess a Hornet. But if we can just make the WCF this year, then next year a Clipper.

he is often marked as one of the reasons the clippers are respectable now, some even citing him solely as the reason
i think it's arguable as a clipper due to more exposure from LA, he's more well-known now... even if his stats aren't historical like they were in 08-09
EDIT: assuming he resigns and finishes his career with the clippers, even if they never make it past the 2nd round (nojinx), i think he will be honoured as a clipper

Isn't that more of a baseball thing?
The main decision that basketball players have to make is who (previous Hall of Famer) inducts them.

NBA: Where Does Chris Paul Rank Among Great Modern Point Guards?
No player in NBA history has averaged Paul’s 20.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 9.5 assists, and 2.3 steals in their career other than Paul. Paul might not have the titles than Johnson or Thomas have, but any attempt to put that blame on Paul is a bit of a reach.
...
That’s right. The advanced stats tell us that at this point in Chris Paul’s career, no point guard in the modern era has been better than him.
His player efficiency rating (measure of per-minute production where the league average is always 15) is 25.6, which ranks him sixth all-time behind Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Shaquille O’Neal, David Robinson, and Wilt Chamberlain.
His win shares per 48 minutes (estimate of the number of wins contributed by a player per 48 minutes) rank way ahead of the pack and third all-time.
...
In order to cement his legacy as the third greatest point guard of the modern era, Paul must continue to pad his resume’ with accomplishments, none of which would help his case more than an NBA title as a pivotal player. If Paul can do that and continue to play at his current career trajectory, he could very easily finish his career as the second greatest point guard of the modern era.
