2011 HORNETS OFF-SEASON CURTIS KING AS DELL DEMPS

Wow my first journal on Hornets247.com, I will submit the best journal of what GM Dell Demps should do this off-season for the hornets to be succesful in the future. We sill start off with DAVID WEST and how his injury is unforunate but also a blessing in diguise. The hornets will be able to keep him because teams are not going to take a chance with his knee because he is 30 years old. The hornets will either sign him to a long-term deal or he will accept the final year of his contract to prove he can still play on the allstar level.

CARL LANDRY

The hornets will have an easier time signing Carl Landry than Marcus Thornton would have been. Landry will be estatic to sign with the hornets after his first playoffs and he is also undersize so alot of teams will not come after him so we will definetly be in a hornets uniform next season.

TREVOR ARIZA

I understand that Trevor Ariza is a great defender but for the hornets to take it to the next level they need balance. He is only shooting 39% from the field not to mention he plays with Chris Paul and only shoots 30% from the arc. This is not acceptable for an NBA player let alone a starter. I would trade him for a 2nd round pick and cap space.

HORNETS FREE AGENTS

RESTRICTED

MARCO BELINELLI
JASON SMITH

UNRESTRICTED

MARCUS BANKS
AARON GRAY
WILLIE GREEN
CARL LANDRY
D.J. MBENGA
DAVID WEST

 

The only hornets free agent that will be back is Aaron Gray, Carl Landry and David West. I would only be willing to bring back Willie Green for the player minimum.

 

HORNETS POTENTIAL TARGET

TYSON CHANDLER
JR SMITH
ANTHONY PARKER
MICHAEL PIETRUS
JASON RICHARDSON
KRIS HUMPHRIES
NAZR MOHAMMED
JOEL PRZYBILLA
TROY MURPHY
JAMAL CRAWFORD

I have to be realistic when signing players this offseason with our budget. We can definetly be contenders in the west with the signing of these players I would target. Jason Richardson, Mickael Pietrus, and Kris Humphries. We need 1 more big man and a scorer at shooting guard. We also will need someone to knock down 3’s and defend at small forward. Kris Humphries average a double double and we could use rebounding since we are only 22nd in the league. Our potential team would be great and could contend every night with Chris Paul leading this team. I also believe we could sign Anthony Parker.

STARTERS

PG CHRIS PAUL
SG JASON RICHARDSON
SF MICKAEL PIETRUS
PF DAVID WEST
C EMEKA OKAFOR

BENCH

CARL LANDRY
JARRET JACK
ANTHONY PARKER
KRIS HUMPHRIES
QUINCY PONDEXTER
AARON GRAY
DAVID ANDERSON

 

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST WE CAN DO IN THE OFF-SEASON AND MOST REALISTIC. THEY SHOULD HIRE ME IN THE FRONT OFFICE FOR THE HORNETS IF THEY WANT TO COMPETE SORRY DELL DEMPS.
