Tur-dunkin’
Renewed rebirth talks are springing up all over HornetLand. I have theories on why that is, but I’ve stuffed some soppresata in my mouth in an effort to keep this on topic. The topic, of course: A Traditional Louisiana Turducken. For those who don’t know, a turducken is a dish, not an animal. The basic […]

Thoughts on the Hornets After Chris Paul
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 […]

Free Agency: It’s not too late
I don’t know if I believe the NBA wants to trade Chris Paul at this point. The demands seem a bit ridiculous, really. However, what I do know is a decision needs to be made in the NBA’s front office: unleash Demps to start signing Free Agents to put around Paul, or just take […]

Chris Paul Trade Solution
–The Prelude– Hey guys I was thinking of a possible trade scenario between the Hornets and Clippers that would make both parties happy. I found that the only way to do that was to include a third team – The Houston Rockets. I thought up a deal that makes sense for all three teams. […]

Marco Belinelli Will Return to New Orleans
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, […]

Hornets Host Health and Fitness Luncheon Amid the Madness
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 […]

Hornets Training Camp Spotlight: Terrico White
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 […]

A Farewell to David West
So after 8 years as a Hornet, David West has gone out in the same manner in which he played for the Hornets – an afterthought to the sublime scene-stealing talent of his longtime teammate, Chris Paul. It shouldn’t be that way. West owns one of the top spots in the Pantheon of players to wear […]

Video: Jarrett Jack Talks CP3, Monty’s Leadership
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.

Video: Monty Williams Again Discusses Chris Paul Situation, Teams Plans
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.

Hornets Training Camp Spotlight: Lance Thomas
In the first of our series profiling of some new member of the Hornets training camp roster, we turn our attention toward Lance Thomas, the former Duke forward who went undrafted after four solid years mostly in the background in college. He stands at 6-8 and weights 225 pounds, and therefore is a bit of a tweener by NBA standards. […]
