Building a Contender: PART 1
INTRO I am not naive, nor inconsiderate. Being one of Chris Paul’s biggest fans, I have come to somewhat understand how this guy likes to run his show. Other then Steve Nash, I don’t believe there is one other player in this league who so truly wants to build a team the RIGHT way, […]

The contract (again)
The blog entry by Ryan some days ago stated, that it’s obviously tough to transform an expiring-contract-asset into an impact player, without giving up additional talent, too. That’s probably true, but only when it comes to sure-fire impact players, that are hunted by a lot of teams (of course one can imagine a guy like […]

Collison What-ifs; Evan Turner
First of all, it is my belief that to win NBA championships a team must have dominant bigs. This has nothing to do with Jasmine’s or Collette’s. Every championship team I can remember has dominant bigs, except the JorPip Bulls. But that’s the greatest wing combo (not Popeye’s) ever. I’ll give it up for the […]

The Hornets new GM Dell Demps, a front-office veteran of the Spurs, has remained tight-lipped about any plans, but such a […]

Keep Calm and Carry On
The mood around here has been edgy to say the least. Perhaps it is just anticipation for the season to start after a tumultuous offseason. However, the amount of wailing and moaning at the recent moves has left me puzzled. Why is there an uproar over the Hornets adding a fourth or fifth guard? No […]

Play for Melo?
I really don’t want the Hornets to get Carmelo. There’s been plenty of talk about him, and how we’d need to give up Thorton in order to get him. To all of that, I’d say bullcrap. But after yesterday’s trade, I’m now concerned that this is exactly what the front office is trying to do- […]
