That's no update. It's a long-winded opinion by a bored poster.

That Skin guy is just a random poster. That looks like random stuff pulled from Hornets forums in addition to ours.

Thornton is a poor man's Deng, but considering Deng's contract and injury history he's a better move.

Fact : New Orleans saves a lot of money doing a trade after June 30 And why are people hating on Al Thornton? He is a lot better then Barnes. He would probably beat Barnes in a game of 1 on 1. When interacting with 4 other players on a playoff team, gimme Barnes.

Best case scenario would flip Okafor to Washington for Hinrich. They have the cap space and only McGee at C.

Wes Matthews was a steal for the Jazz. I give that signing a B+.

Why cant Hinrich be dealt? Wasn't Quentin Richardson dealt like 5 times last offseason?

Does anyone else read Otis' comments in Denzel Washington's voice in their head?

quote: Originally posted by Klasiq11:I think the Magic should have taken the trade for Arenas straight up. Arenas still looks to attack unlike Carter and has a more consistant shot. If the Paul deal falls through hopefully we can get this 1 back... He attacks inside the lockerroom, that's about it.

If he plays defense he will find a spot in the league. Refine his spotup shooting and run the floor. Excellent long term piece.

We are turning on each other like animals.

Very good pick.

Jameer is a very good PnR player and a better shooter than Chris Paul. And having high steal totals doesn't equal good defender. If you think Stan is going to run the offense that they do in NOLA then you're mistaken. This will still be Dwight's team and we will look to post him up first and foremost, relegating Paul to a spot up shooter on many possessions. Are you suggesting Chris Paul isn't a good pick and roll player? Not at all. But NOLA doesn't feature a player like Howard who demands the ball in the post, nor do they run an inside out offense in which the PG MUST be able to shoot the three at a good percentage. CP3 would be deadly on the PnR, but I'm just not sure that difference will matter more because of our offense. He was shooting 41 percent on 3s last year.

Gortat for 18 and Maynor.

Mo Williams guarantees the Cavs will resign LeBron.

Why would we kill you, we aren't Laker fans?

I would take Lee over Boozer, especially for less money.

We don't need 6-7 million dollars in salary tied up to a backup playing 12 mpg with the offchance he might play more than 20 in 15 games a season. Kobe doesn't need it. LeBron doesn't need it. Dwight doesn't need it. For the sake of some of you fans, I hope Dwight Howard doesn't get a serious injury. And if the Orlando Magic thought that they didn't need a backup center for $6 million then they wouldn't have signed him. They signed him because he is an asset and Dallas forced their hand. He is a means to an end, not a core piece.

They could have played Foyle as the backup 3 and swept the Hawks.

I read somewhere that Bass asked if he was supposed to take his home.

People act as if Boston slaughtered us in Games 1 and 2. Having a 3 that is an offensive threat to score and make Pierce work would have helped make those points up.
