Since the offseason is so boring, waiting everyday for some news on our Hornets players.. And since nobody has anything to read about, then i’m here to provide something to read about… My own thoughts on what the season is going to be, much like what Ryan posted, but more comprehensive(i’m sorry no numbers.) This […]

New Orleans Hornets Summer Report Card
Over at Nba.com they evaluated all 32 teams off season.. the hornets recieved a ‘C’ Ariza will run the floor and be able to finish in the running game while getting fed by Paul. And there is still the quiet All-Star caliber presence of David West on another wing. But if the Hornets are […]

Rumors: Amundson to Hornets
According to Yahoo! Sports, reports from Newsday are claiming that Louis Amundson is headed to the Big Easy. GWS and Indy are going to start focusing on Earl Barron because Amundson isn’t interested in them. Amundson would be a big boost for the hornets this season. If the rumors are true and we do […]

Projecting the Hornets in 2010-2011
It’s the time of year for us to make predictions. The rosters are generally settled, so now line-ups can be extrapolated. The Hornets are a bit of an enigma at this point. Though not much is expected of them, no one wants to dismiss them out of hand either, because they still have Chris Paul. […]

Additional Moves?
ESPN seems to have reason to believe that the Hornets intend to make more trades. The rumor mill states “New Orleans acquired some help for CP3, but it may not be done dealing just yet.” Assuming this statement holds some truth, what do you think are possible trades this team has left to make? What […]

The Start of the Season could be Tough
It’s early September, which means there is next to nothing in the way of basketball news to talk about. So, let’s talk about something that couldn’t possibly be drab and boring: Schedules! Meant to do this a while ago, but better late than never, right? So, the Hornets are now a team looking for their identity. […]

Those Things We Do
I was in the middle of cobbling together a journal on what we needed to get better as a team, what was available, etc. and then we made the Ariza trade which it blew it out of the water. No complaints about the trade, but my journal essentially got sent to Houston. I hope Yao […]

Breaking down Thornton’s Game – Is he Untouchable?
When I put together the Taking Offers for Paul post, there was a behind-the-scenes discussion with Henry Abbott of Truehoop about just how talent-bereft I thought his offer was. I opened it by saying that as soon as I saw Marcus Thornton involved in the trade, I didn’t even really care what the Hornets were […]

The Remaining Free Agents
Having a look over the hornets squad , i would like to see a PG, PF and C signed as bench players for the squad. I think PF because we need rebounding there as a reserve and Songaila and brackins wont bring that and the others are kinda self explanatory. For PG i can really […]

Hornets bring in Mustafa Shakur
The Hornets are trying to fill the void behind Chris Pau, and yesterday they agreed to partially guaranteed a contract with Mustafa Shakur. I would assume that means he comes in to training camp, and the Hornets will decide there whether to hold on to him. Before we get to Shakur, and what he could […]

Fine, Let’s Talk About Carmelo and the Hornets (updated to reflect reality)
About a week ago I sat down, thinking about writing something about ‘Melo, but opted against it. The lingering hatred of the Chris Paul rumors stopped me for a while, but with each passing day more and more experts are mentioning New Orleans as a possible landing place for Carmelo and I can’t help but […]

Sources: Thornton not good
According to Kelly Dwyer of Yahoo! Sports Marcus Thornton is not a top 30 SG in this league. He ranked JJ Redick as 17 and Redick’s stats and effect on the game are nothing compared to Thorton’s. Anyone got something to say about this? After taking a look at Dwyer’s list i would insert […]

Allen Iverson to the Bees?
http://proxy.espn.go.com/nba/features/rumors#17991 I have to admit. The thought of Allen Iverson doesn’t make me cringe like it should. Having a proven vet that can provide a spark off the bench could be immense. Think about it. Allen Iverson has always been able to penetrate the lane and we have 2 spot-up shooters coming off the bench […]

Hero wanted. Dead or alive.
Right now, the Nuggets and Hornets are in great fear of the New York Knicks. The Knicks were one of the worst teams of the last decade, so nobody fears really them on the basketball court, but they pursue the goal of snapping away superstars of the smaller market teams. A superstar huh? What is […]

If the Grizzlies don’t want Xavier Henry . . .
The Memphis Grizzlies selected Xavier Henry with the 12th pick of the draft. He’s still unsigned. Rookie salaries are set by the CBA, but teams may offer anywhere between 80% to 120% of that set value. Since the CBA has gone into place, every rookie but one has gotten 120% of the set value guaranteed. The […]

Feelin’ ‘Melo’
As most of you know there’s a lot of speculation flying around that Melo is going to leave Denver no matter what so Denver is willing to trade him to get something back. This to me sounds like a good chance to nab melo for some less than hes worth. The only problem is that […]

The Tale of Two Arizas: Which One Are the Hornets Getting?
After the trade, Ryan did a comprehensive breakdown of Ariza’s statistics over the last couple of years. Charles Barkley has a saying about stats, “they are like a fine woman in a bikini- nice to look at, but you don’t see the whole story.†This is especially true in basketball, where every team is completely […]
