He would rather hurry up and sell the team, than let the Hornets actually get SOMETHING for Paul right now, than in 66 games when his contract is up and they get NOTHING for Paul.

Why would Chris Paul attract a buyer when they know he's going to leave in the next year or so? He's almost outright said so. Having Chris Paul on the team at the time of the sale means jack shit really.
