I was in the middle of cobbling together a journal on what we needed to get better as a team, what was available, etc. and then we made the Ariza trade which it blew it out of the water.  No complaints about the trade, but my journal essentially got sent to Houston.  I hope Yao […]

Having a look over the hornets squad , i would like to see a PG, PF and C signed as bench players for the squad. I think PF because we need rebounding there as a reserve and Songaila and brackins wont bring that and the others are kinda self explanatory. For PG i can really […]

According to Kelly Dwyer of Yahoo! Sports Marcus Thornton is not a top 30 SG in this league.  He ranked JJ Redick as 17 and Redick’s stats and effect on the game are nothing compared to Thorton’s.   Anyone got something to say about this? After taking a look at Dwyer’s list i would insert […]

http://proxy.espn.go.com/nba/features/rumors#17991 I have to admit. The thought of Allen Iverson doesn’t make me cringe like it should. Having a proven vet that can provide a spark off the bench could be immense. Think about it. Allen Iverson has always been able to penetrate the lane and we have 2 spot-up shooters coming off the bench […]

Hoopshype reported that the orlando magic and the new orleans hornets are interested in bringing in Allen Iverson for a work out

Right now, the Nuggets and Hornets are in great fear of the New York Knicks. The Knicks were one of the worst teams of the last decade, so nobody fears really them on the basketball court, but they pursue the goal of snapping away superstars of the smaller market teams. A superstar huh? What is […]

As most of you know there’s a lot of speculation flying around that Melo is going to leave Denver no matter what so Denver is willing to trade him to get something back.  This to me sounds like a good chance to nab melo for some less than hes worth.  The only problem is that […]

Now that the DC and Juju trades have gone down, we find ourselves in an interesting position. We have a very solid core of youth and veteran players, but now we are at the point where we need only a few more pieces in order to contend for a title. Demps and company have done […]

The planets have alined and pieces are falling into place.  Demps and Sir Monty have done a fantastic job nabbing Ariza for essentially a worthless piece and an extra piece.  Ariza gives us a solid third scorer and starter at the 3 and he will fit in excellently with CP and DW.  But if u look at […]

At least on the defensive side of the ball. His offensive efficiency stats leave me less than impressed but 7 rebounds a game and that defense from the NBA Finals a cpl years back leaves me with hope. Did we just find our backup PG at 4 assists a game? Big Ball > Small Ball! […]

When it comes to recruiting players, many basketball fans just don’t get how things work out. Often it seems that team representatives don’t get it either. Of course, it is always possible that a player messes up or gets injured, but there are so many players out there who could fill a certain role for […]

Well, it appears that is where we are in the free agent market.  Not that this is really news with seeing Rasual get signed, then Mason, now Bogans, but man if it isn’t a bit odd seeing who is at the bottom.  Allen Iverson, for good reason, but now he is joined by Tracy Mcgrady.  […]

The only way to keep Cp3 is to win, win early, win often, and win against the best. I have taken the approach to entertain all sorts of trade ideas, but the bottom line is we have a completely new staff, a completely new system, and a (knock on wood) healthy roster. This time last […]

The free agency summer of 2010 was headlined by Lebron James’ ridiculous decision show, where he announced his future destination. Right now, the media writes alot about Lebron and his staff of advisors, starring Maverick Carter, who has obviously initialized ‘The Decision’ as the CEO of a so-called marketing company LRMR. That group of Lebrons’ […]

The talk floating around is that if Denver believes Carmelo will decide to test the free agent waters, they are going to push for a trade so they are not left in a Cleveland style position. They want back cap room, picks, and young pieces if possible.  The more of all the better, as it […]

After seeing the Celtics transform their team in 2008 and winning it all, then witnessing the slop show that was 2010 Free Agency, I truly think the Hornets can build a championship contending team before Chris Paul’s contract is over. We have seen a franchise change in a day, why cant it change in 2 […]

Does anyone remember about two weeks ago when the entire NBA was flipping out over Chris Paul’s apparent trade demands? Well shortly after CP’s worries were put down during a meeting with the FO and everyone came out saying theyre happy with the direction of the franchise.  But what direction has this team moved since […]

I don’t know how many of you guys check out The Basketball Jones, but they had an interesting article that they posted last week.  I am just catching up with all the happenings as I was busy with a work trip that did not afford me the time for my daily Hornets crack-out.  Within the […]

We’ve all gone and lost sight of what Chris Paul does. He’s the best point guard in the NBA, and if he can stay healthy, then he has the potential to be the best to ever man the position. Career highlights, enjoy folks because he’s still wearing a Hornets jersey.

The blog entry “Is Paul Leaving the Worst Case Scenario?” stirred debate as to how the Hornets franchise should be built. One section particularly intrigued me. The author states: I look at a team like the Milwaukee Bucks, for instance, and see a direction that I would never take personally. They have a nice team […]
