2011-2012 Off-season moves (pt. 4) “Riverboat Gamble”
Hey Hornets fans. How about that NFL off-season action? Hopefully we get something similar in the NBA this year (meaning there is NBA this year). On the assumption we do here’s another post season moves I hope the Hornets make. This move doesn’t revolve around a trade scenario rather a free agent signing and a […]

2011-12 Off-season moves (pt. 3) “Smooth in Easy”
Hey Hornets fans. Continuing the daily journals with another trade I think would make us a better. A common theme with my posts will be trading Okafor. I think he’s a below average center with a really bad contract. This trade is merely for the purpose of getting him off this roster. This is […]

2011-12 Off-season moves. (pt. 2) “Gay means happy”
Hey Hornets fans. This is part two of my wish list for this upcoming 2011-2012 offseason (if there is one). I will assume how the new CBA will impact the salary cap for the sake of the journal. *see pt. 1 for details* It has been rumored that Rudy Gay is on the trading block. Regardless […]

2011-12 Off-season moves. (pt. 1) “Save us Superman”
Hey Hornets fans. In honor of the NFL starting what will be a wild (and brief) offseason. I thought for the rest of the week I would purpose offseason moves I would like the Hornets to make once the NBA 2011-12 offseason starts(if there is one). I will examine each trade from all the franchise perspectives and grade each move […]

Prolonged Lockout Not All Bad for New Orleans
I want a prolonged NBA Lockout. Yes, it’s blasphemous, but it’s true. I have been an NBA fan for as long as I can remember. I was enraptured by the Magic-Bird-Jordan years and never let go. I’ve also been a “fan” of New Orleans since I moved here at age 3. When the Minnesota Timberwolves […]

Top Ten Center?
According to a recent article posted on the bleacher report (Link Below) you will notice a familiar face listed in the top ten Centers of 2010-2011 season. No its not Tyson Chandler, but Emeka Okafor who is slotted in at the number 9 spot. Chandler is currently ranked number 13 on the list and […]

Tyson Chandler? Answer to our problems?
I have been doing a lot of reading, thanks to 42’s Bee Bites (I don’t know if he gets paid, but by golly gee willickers, he damn sure should be.) And some writers have been saying that Tyson Chandler is the answer to our problems. While I agree Tyson is an upgrade over […]

A Very Realistic Dwight Howard Trade To Hornets
I know everyone is probably tired of hearing all of these ridiculous Dwight Howard trade proposals (my self included) but I happened to run across one on the Internet that made alot of since. The proposal was…. Hornets get: Dwight Howard Magic get: Emeka Okafor, David West, Marco Belinelli, and a hornets first round pick […]

Beginners’ Guide to Reading the Times Picayune
In the wake of this morning’s release of John Deshazier’s column speaking on the subject of David West’s opt out of his contract, I feel it necessary to remind all of you how the newspaper works. Now I understand that most people that read on this site as well as Hornets Report, At The Hive, […]

My Favorite Trade Destination for Paul: the Clippers
ESPN Insider had a post today that mentions New York, Portland and Oklahoma City as potential destinations for CP if he were to be traded this year. All of the ideas are intriguing. Rich Bucher and Chris Boussard basically say that we would get Amare or Carmelo back from NYK, Russell Westbrook from OKC and […]

Remember Who We Cheer For
The life of being a Hornets fan is tough. And as it appears, life is only going to get tougher. Not many teams face the same daunting questions that our organization is currently facing. The Hornets as we know them are hanging desperately by a thin strand of fiber that could snap at any moment, […]

Free Agents That Might Not Be On Your Radar
As heartbreaking as David West and Aaron Gray opting out may be, truly, a lot of the problems with the Hornets roster were not the starting 4 (other than the obvious huge hole at SG) but in rotation players who couldn’t ever seem to find their groove. We’ve seen that Dell Demps is the type of […]

Free agency and one opportunity for improvement
I’m not looking at restricted free agents, because you almost certainly have to overpay those guys to get one and I won’t do that! List of interesting (unrestricted) free agents 2011 Glen Davis – in the case West and/ or Landry are gone. Disslike!Joel Przybilla – true center, but deffinitely no difference-maker. Disslike!Tyson Chandler – […]

The Hornets offseason Idea- Ballin on a budget!
Now that the dust has settled from the NBA draft, one can look at the Hornets roster and begin to envision how they are going to mold the roster and what avenues they can plausibly take. The first(and most important) thing to view is the salary situation and players under contract. To begin, the team […]

What’s the Plan?
Last offseason, the Hornets franchise entered into a new generation. They broke past the old conception that they were an old team, with old fashioned everything, they played it safe, and almost made sure that they didn’t create excitement. This new generation inserted young new minds such as first-time head coach Monty Williams, and first-time […]

Wilson Chandler
I noticed a couple people asking whether or not Wilson Chandler is really as good as many Hornets247 members believe. I decided to do a little research to give you a solid answer. Wilson Chandler: 6’8”, 225 lbs (Age: 24) Rookie Year (2007-2008): Wilson Chandler was selected 23rd overall by the New York Knicks […]

Spoke to Bobby Jindal today about potential local buyers @ a Hornets event…
I decided to go to the House/Senate bball game the Hornets were hosting at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center today, and Bobby Jindal was there. I went up to him and asked who he thought would step up and buy the Hornets, and when he thought it would happen. I knew he wasn’t going to […]

The Key Question for Dell Demps, and All of Us, This Summer
There are lots of easy ways to deviate for from reality when “playing Hornet’s GM” and concocting “fantasy trades” this summer: – ignore the cap or player salaries, – trade an existing Hornets player in a deal the other team won’t ever make, – only roster 13 or 14 players, or […]
