  • I’m taking value. (New York Knicks)

    The Chris Paul rumors are shooting up like wildfire right now and it’s just not looking good. Supposedly we have the destinations set up where Paul wants to go. In my opinion, if I’m the Hornets, I’m not selling Paul for a bag of chips. I don’t care how bad he wants out (I’m still […]

  • even more CP3 rumors

    Just catched this at fox. saçcarry if it´s true.   =(   http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/new-orleans-hornets-chris-paul-072210

  • The Right Direction

    How long have we all been asking about where this team is going? Since the end of last season, with our embarrassing playoff exit against the Nuggets, most of us were left scratching our heads and freaking out because our team underachieved. What was going to happen to Scott? We realized how bad the contracts […]

  • The Rookies and My Review of Summer League

    Well that was exciting. Five losses, all of which came at the end of each game, but summer league in the NBA is never about wins or losses. The whole ordeal is just a scouting process and a simple beginner plan put in place for the rookies to get their feet wet and a feel […]

  • Twist to Ownership

    Here is a link to an article from David Aldridge of NBA.com: http://www.nba.com/2010/news/07/15/hornet.gm/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt2 Good update on the team meeting with Kevin Pritchard’s agent in Vegas. But the interesting part is below: Of course, Bower would not have begun preliminary calls to gauge Paul’s trade value without the approval of ownership, and league sources maintain that […]

  • You will be missed Jeff.

    First of all, hi everyone and let me tell you that I have been following this site for quite a long time now and dont have anything to say to all the people here but congratulations and keep the awesome job you have all been doing. As this is my fisrt journal i will make a […]

  • Things Are Becoming Increasingly Bizarre

    If the New Orleans Hornets are intentionally trying to throw off everyone who follows them, reports on them, or even knows about them, then I must say that they are doing one hell of a job. Who knows where this team is going? Up? Down? Left? Right? Into a fourth dimension, not comprehensible by the […]

  • Sane Trade Scenario That Still Probably Won’t Happen!

    Okie dokie, since all we can do right now is speculate on what deals will go down, I believe I will join all the trade scenarios and throw one out myself. Not to mention it’s one that would make sense for several sides! Hard to find one of those nowadays… Move number 1: Trade Peja […]

  • Now for something completely…similar

    This is my first journal entry soooo deal with it! HA!  I have proposed a trade that I believe can take this team deep in the playoffs.  I am not great with the money aspect of trades/deals so if I can’t do it myself, why not have the ESPN Trade Machine do it for me: […]

  • If I were GM… v2.0

    I wrote this 3 days ago while contemplating what next year’s free agent market held for those who will have the money to play.  I decided to wait a bit to post it to see how Coleman shook out during Summer league.  His continued development, or lack there of, might require a move for a […]

  • Big Move Coming?

    As this tumultuous off season for the NBA drags on, so does the angst and impatience of many Hornets fans. We want a contender, we want good players, and we want it now. We’re not the only ones. The face of our franchise wants it too, and slowly he seems to be breaking off little […]

  • Chris Paul at Carmelo Anthony’s wedding.

    Courtesy of Jay Williams’ Twitter: On a boat w/ Melo 4 his wedding 2morrow. He & Amare R having heavy conversations. Could it B nxt year 4 da #Knicks. Even bring CP3 on board. Chris Paul talking about teaming up with Melo ti battle the trio down south. Talkin a lot of ****. I love […]

  • Bright Future for Hornets, I’m Serious

    Well the day came that millions of people had been waiting for. Two years ago the sweepstakes began and teams started preparing to woo LeBron James to their team and their city. Not only LeBrizzle, but numerous other big time free agents signing max deals with these teams who have mainly fame and money to […]

  • LeBron’s Move

    I feel compelled to say something about the LeBron move.  No, not because of the implications it has for the NBA’s next five years.  No, not because it was one of the most over-hyped Sportscenter stories since Favre’s retirement saga(s).  I want to address some of the most selfish and hypocritical behavior I’ve Witnessed (Ha!) […]

  • MVP wide open for CP

          With the hottest player movements of the summer finally wrapped, the stars are finally aligned – for our boy Christopher Paul to nab himself a nice heavy trophy.        Most of the Eastern Conference’s talent is headed to the beach for the next six years, and the stats traffic jam in Miami doesn’t seem […]

  • Why Not Take A Dive In FA?

    Ive been thinking a lot lately about who we could pick up in FA to make our team instantly better and i think ive come to a player who has a lot to offer… Who could this person be u may ask? well none other than Josh Howard.   sure in the past few years […]

  • Good Move by the Hornets to Not Budge Yet in Free Agency

    Making a move now would be a bad choice. It likely means overpaying for a player who likely won’t do much for your team. Look what happened with Channing Frye, Amir Johnson, Steve Blake, and Hakim Warrick. All of those guys are making millions more than their production would suggest. Mike Miller is going to […]

  • Implications of the New Salary and Luxury Tax Lines

    A journal article was requested, so I am happy to oblidge. Today the NBA released both the salary cap and the luxury tax numbers and they were higher than anticipated. This is how it relates to our favorite team: The Hornets have 9 players under contract at around 66.3 million. Figuring that they sign their […]

  • How the Hornets can become CHAMPIONS

    There has been lots of talk lately about the hornets future options with trades and cap flexibility.  A lot of ppl are expecting one of the following things if not both: 1)  Collison is traded for cap space/talent 2)  Hornets’ expiring contracts are traded for mid-lvl talent + cap space   Both of these moves […]

  • Out of the Box Trades- Open to All Hornets Fans

    Okay, so we hear the same proposals from Hornets fans day after day- “Let’s move DC and Okafor for… or DC and West for Bosh. CP3 for… And on and on. I  just want to throw some outside the box proposals out there and invite some of you to do the same. My trades will […]
