I would cut Armon Johnson, Chris Johnson, E'Twaun Moore, Q-Rich, and either Eyenga or McRoberts. I would also be okay with cutting both McRoberts and Eyenga and keeping Moore. We do need as many PG's as we can get. I just really hope we keep DeQuan Jones, he's been playing great the first two preseason games.

I say let's enjoy it while it lasts. I'm hoping by the end of the season they will be giving away court side seats to anyone who buys a 30 day bus pass.

During media day they were saying that Turk came back in the best shape he has ever been. He has even stopped eating pizza and is on a strict diet and is trying to be healthier. I think he understands that he has young talent in Harkless and Harper behind him and also that his contract is up in a year or two and that he needs to really prove he belongs on this team and in the NBA if he wants to stick around. I expect a big year from Turk this year.

Turkoglu: People write Turk off because of his big contract, but I love Turk and think he has a lot to offer. He still wants a few more years in the NBA and he has said he hopes he retires in Orlando, so I think Turk will do well this year. I've heard that he came back to training camp this year in great shape. Jameer: Jameer has a lot to prove, just got a new contract and the team showed that they believe in Jameer. With his job secure and Dwight gone I really hope and think that this can be a huge year for Jameer. Rookies: I think all three of our rookies have potential to be Alll-stars one day. O'Quinn especially I think will surprise a lot of people this year, if you didn't see him in Summer League he was amazing, as was Nicholson. That we will win more than the Bobcats. Anyone who thinks this team is a bottom of the barrel team like the Wizards or Bobcats they are crazy. The commitment to winning is there from Rob and Jacque and guys like Jameer, Big Baby, JJ, Afflalo, etc. We have strong team leadership and I believe we will win between 35 and 45 games this season and possibly even make the playoffs.

Smart plays and a lot of communication. I'd much rather see guys talking to each other and making the extra pass than to see anyone out there trying to make a fancy play or impress the crowd. Although if Ayon dunks or blocks at all today im sure the crowd will go crazy and it will be awesome! I'm also excited to see Ryan Anderson for the first time in a Hornets jersey, hope he does well.
