The following is a guest post by Jesse Blanchard from 48MinutesOfHell, part of the ESPN TrueHoop Network. – After years under owner George Shinn, the New Orleans finally has an owner it deserves.

Disappointed in Dell Demps.
I have to start off with a disclaimer. “I have no idea what went on behind the scene.” I all can based my opinions on is what has been said by all parties involved. Chris Paul sure he’s slowly making his way onto the most hated man in New Orleans list (after all love and hate […]

Video: Quincy Pondexter Talks Basketball, Chris Paul
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…

In Defense of David Stern
I woke up today to find myself wondering why in the world I’m angry with David Stern, the owner. Here’s a guy who has done just about everything he can to ensure that the New Orleans Hornets get on financially sound footing. He took the unprecedented step of taking control of the team from a private […]

With a Hammer
I have almost no idea what continues to perpetuate the Chris Paul situation, and I have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen in the end. The latter is way too hard for someone in my position to figure out. Staring at twitter or news feeds and hoping that `the answer’ pops out is hopeless; […]

Chris Paul Trade dead again
The Lakers have pulled out of trying to trade for Chris Paul amid rumors that once again the NBA was running interference against the trade. Various accounts have the Hornets re-opening discussions with the Clippers and Warriors – though they now lack all leverage. Yay. I wonder how willing Houston will be to remain in […]

Video: Trevor Ariza Answers Questions at Hornets Training Camp
“This is the first time at I’ve been at training camp where I’ve been one of the players with one of the most years of service.” Anyone else notice that the Hornets shirt he’s wearing doesn’t say Hornets? Lots of focus on the New Orleans brand lately.

Video: Monty Williams Answers Questions at Hornets Training Camp
After the interview, Monty went over to the exercise bike to presumably let out some stress. It’s hard having a game in six days without any real clue of what your team will look like…

Monty Williams Would Rather Tongue Kiss a Maggot Than Write This Post
Best quote of training camp so far just came out of Hornets camp. In a brief session with the media, Monty Williams laid this gem– “I’d rather tongue kiss a maggot than tweet or blog.” Other highlights include the knowledge that the team is not limiting Chris Paul at all in practice as a result of the […]

Aaron Gray Won’t be a Hornet, Signs With Raptors.
Yahoo Sports is reporting that Aaron Gray will sign a one year deal with the Toronto Raptors. No word yet on what the value is, but it’s safe to say that Gray won’t be on the Hornets roster. Goodbye, Aaron. There were few moments in my time watching the Hornets that I enjoyed more than […]

Running in Place
I’ve already ranted once about the killing of the trade. I just want to vent a little more of the miasma of anger I’m feeling right now. Sometimes it’s good to have a blog, yes? The Hornets are screwed right now. Again, we could debate the merits of the trade, but the way I look […]

Building Through the Draft vs. Remaining Competitive
So it’s apparent that the main two trains from Hornet’s fans are that either the trade was good because we remain a contender with the pieces we got, who can also be moved OR we didn’t get enough young talent/draft picks. I fall on the side of thinking that we didn’t get enough young talent […]

Dell Customer Support
For a hundred reasons, I’d be surprised if any of us sees Dell around today or tomorrow if the reports of the NBA killing the proposed trade for Chris Paul to the Lakers are true, even if something he thinks is better replaces it, which is doubtful since he would have taken that deal to […]

Chris Paul Trade “called off”
Things will be a lot clearer tomorrow, I’m sure. From reports, it appears that the trade sending CP3 to the Lakers, Pau Gasol to Houston, and Lamar Odom, Luis Scola, Kevin Martin and Goran Dragic to the Hornets has been nixed by a group of NBA owners who didn’t like the trade and made David […]
