So I’m sitting here in sunny Las Vegas getting ready to head over to see my first Summer League game. The opportunities for interviews and conversations are endless and I know you guys want to get the goods on what’s going on with the team. Here’s your chance. Ask whatever you want to whoever you […]

Supposedly Chris Paul had some interesting things to say at Carmelo Anthony’s wedding and they didn’t concern the honeymoon or the electric slide. According to a person who spoke with Amare Stoudemire, Paul made a reference during a speech of a potential union of himself, Stoudemire and Anthony, saying, “We’ll form our own Big 3,”. […]

Hornets247 would like to congratulate New Orleans Hornets coach Monty Williams on the birth of his son Micah Andrew Williams on 7/8/2010. Currently he’s projected to be an early lottery pick in 2032.  

According to Wikipedia, which obviously is the end-all source on everything, the Hornets don’t have a rival. That makes me remarkably sad considering the deep seeded mild anger that I feel toward opposing ball clubs. If we don’t have a rival, how will anyone know which games matter most at the beginning of the season? […]

The Hornets have announced their full NBA Summer League Roster, which includes second year guards Marcus Thornton and Darren Collison. It may come as a surprise to some, but as of now the Hornets two first round picks, Quincy Pondexter and Craig Brackins, are not on the roster despite what numerous media outlets are reporting. […]

The Hornets draft day trade may have been about more than just shedding a few dollars. After the draft GM Jeff Bower gave a brief press conference to the media in which he hinted that the Hornets might be finagling themselves into position for a major free agent score. “When the transaction does reach conclusion,” […]

It is officially draft day for the New Orleans Hornets and the open thread has arrived. After an unusually stressful day of Chris Paul trade speculation fueled by a long distance interview and a statement from current owner George Shinn, Hornets fans everywhere are probably ready for some potential good news. Television coverage for the […]

Hornets fans must be so sick of talking about Chris Paul rumors. I know I am, so I’ve decided to start making stuff up to balance out the universe. It’s pretty unfair that all the major “rumors” have the Hornets superstar heading elsewhere. Pretty clearly the time of Hornets fans would be better spent thinking […]

George Shinn released a statement today regarding the speculation surrounding Chris Paul. Apparently he is just as sick of it as the fans are. Let’s be real here- Chris Paul is the best point guard the NBA has seen in quite some time. You don’t just give a guy like that way in an attempt […]

With the 11th pick in the 2010 ESPN TrueHoop Mock Draft, the New Orleans Hornets select Cole Aldrich out of the University of Kansas. The TrueHoop Network’s mock draft will be released on our individual sites during the rest of the day, tomorrow and Wednesday. Picks are predictions, not our preferences. Previous selections: Washington – […]

This morning the New Orleans Hornets worked out Luke Babbitt of Nevada. Unlike the team’s previous workouts, this one was held exclusively for Babbitt and did not include any other prospects. When the media arrived on scene, Luke was dripping in sweat and obviously exhausted. He had already completed shooting drills, cone drills, sprints, and […]

Recently Hornets247 had the privilege of interviewing Marcus Thornton at a local basketball camp where he was showing off some skills to the youngsters. Some outside of New Orleans remember Marcus best for his sick dunk on Gerald Wallace, which wound up being NBA dunk of the Week. Fact is though, that was just a […]

The New Orleans Hornets will be holding their second draft workout today at the Alario Center. As expected, the workout includes six players, all of which are considered front court players. In the Hornets first draft workout, they looked exclusively at guards. Like the last workout, the team appears to be looking at  some players […]

Below is the entire Hornets Summer League schedule for 2010. All of their games will be taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the past few weeks I’ve managed to learn a few things about the team. Marcus Thornton (who I interview tomorrow) will be in Las Vegas Julian Wright (who was interviewed this weekend) […]

Recently I had the pleasure of speaking with New Orleans Hornets forward Julian Wright at a “Subway Junior Hornets Basketball Event”. He was there to meet the young fans and give them a few tips on the game of basketball and life. For those that don’t know about the Junior Hornets, it’s a group of […]

The Hornets will be holding their first draft workout this afternoon at the Alario Center. It appears that this initial workout will focus on wing players instead of the many forward prospects in the draft. According to the New Orleans Hornets the following players will be participating: Xavier Henry– An explosive guard who can drive […]

With tip off of the NBA finals approaching, and numerous reports of a declined offer, it appears that Tom Thibodeau will not become the next head coach of the New Orleans Hornets. Good riddance. Who wants a guy with no playing experience whatsoever anyway? Instead Monty Williams, reportedly Chris Paul’s top choice, will be offered […]

Dear Mr. Thibodeau, I write to you today not as a member of the media, but as a hopeful New Orleans Hornets fan who wants ever so much to see his favorite team bring home an NBA championship. In an off season in which no less than six head coaching jobs will change hands, it’s […]

The New Orleans Hornets will reportedly extend Tom Thibodeau an offer to become their next head coach. What remains to be seen however, is whether or not he will accept the job, or wait to see what happens in Chicago. Yahoo! Sports Adrian Wojnarowski was the first to report: “Boston Celtics assistant Tom Thibodeau has […]
