Optimism.
As we all wake up with that smile from last night’s thriller still attached to our faces, we can’t help but be optimistic about our future.

Collison What-ifs; Evan Turner
First of all, it is my belief that to win NBA championships a team must have dominant bigs. This has nothing to do with Jasmine’s or Collette’s. Every championship team I can remember has dominant bigs, except the JorPip Bulls. But that’s the greatest wing combo (not Popeye’s) ever. I’ll give it up for the […]

Being Realistic about a Stojakovic Trade
For as long as I’ve followed the Hornets, there has been an oddity roaming the NBA’s contractual landscape. Most of the time it’s despised, but for one brief period, usually 3-6 months, it becomes a highly sought-after commodity that has enabled some of the most lopsided trades in league history.  I’m talking, of course, about […]

The State of the Rotation
Sifting through what Monty Williams has said(and not said) to the media the past couple days, I think we’re pretty close to a preliminary rotation. Here’s what I think Coach Williams is hinting at – and I have my own thoughts, of course. The Starting Lineup PG: Chris Paul – There’s not much to say […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]
