I love this deal. Love. It. I defended Stern when he reportedly vetoed the last one (as the owner) because he didn’t like the direction it was headed, and I feel completely validated now. This deal makes me roughly 75 times as happy to be a Hornets fan and writer. I was sitting there after […]

Chris Paul will be traded to the Los Angeles Clippers for Eric Gordon, Al- Farouq Aminu, Chris Kaman, and the Minnesota 2012 first round draft pick. The Hornets held the line and in the end they got what they wanted—both Gordon and the 2012 draft pick. Make no mistake about Eric Bledsoe not being included. […]

Hornets Media day is about to begin, and I just realized that I’ve spaced on asking for question submissions from y’all. If you could be so kind, please put your questions either right here or shoot them to me on twitter @GerrityJoe Chris Paul won’t be taking questions, so no need to submit anything for […]

Marco Belinelli will return to the Hornets after accepting their qualifying offer for roughly 3.4 million dollars. He is the first player to start a game last year who has opted to return. His  addition to training camp should provide the team with a bit of veteran leadership (we’re really digging deep here). Thus far,  […]

Even though the Hornets front office appears to have lost all power to dictate moves in the crazy situation that has become trading Chris Paul, it’s clear that they aren’t letting that stop them from continuing to help and improve the community that they are so clearly determined to remain a part of. Who needs […]

Today we’ll put the spotlight on the youngest player at Hornets camp, former Mississippi combo guard, Terrico White. He was drafted with the 36th pick of 2010 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons, but unfortunately for White, he fractured his right foot in his first preseason appearance and consequently missed the rest of his rookie season. Coming out of […]

In his first interview of training camp, Jarret Jack gives his take on the Chris Paul situation. I asked him about who will step into that leadership role, and without much hesitation he referenced Monty Williams. I’ve yet to hear a player speak poorly of Coach.

Another day, another interesting interview with Monty Williams. The comedic highlight is when he’s asked about the starting lineup, which clearly he doesn’t answer. Nothing about tongue kissing maggots. There’s always tomorrow, I guess.

Update at 7:38 CT (the only time zone that matters in America)- The Clippers claimed Chauncey Billups off the amnesty waiver wire by outbidding other teams. Despite that, ESPN is now saying that there is now a renewed push to get the deal done, possibly as soon as tomorrow. Yahoo reported earlier that it was […]

If I had to bet 10,000 dollars (isn’t that what everyone bets?) that one current Hornet would be on the roster when the regular season begins, Quincy Pondexter would be my guy. Just saying…

David West will sign a two year, 20-million dollar deal to become an Indiana Pacer, according to Yahoo Sports. The deal comes in the aftermath of a breakdown in trade talks between the Celtics and Hornets, which would have sent Jermaine O’Neal to a third team and a signed-and-traded David West to Boston. The Hornets were expected to receive back a […]
