This will be my first journal entry in quite a while, and my way of saying hello Hornets247 again(after my 2 week hiatus). It’s almost the playoffs, but with David West out, we can be 99% certain of the Hornets being eliminated in the playoffs (at least with DWest, we had a puncher’s chance of […]

Offseason approach for free agency and draft
The New Orleans Hornets need to focus on gaining another center and a stretch forward during free agency and gain some guard play in the draft.
