Do you think Otis will finally sign a big?

Doubtful. Otis has expressed his over confidence in the team already, but nevertheless I really hope we get someone

GMs Concerned over Direction of Hornets

"The league isn't going to sell it until after the lockout," one source said. "There's no time now, not with the lockout coming in just a few months."

 

The league and players remain far apart on all the key issues and the current CBA expires June 30. This has the makings of a long lockout, so the Hornets could be in the league's hands for a while. That's a problem.

 

The league took some well-deserved flak from (Phil) Jackson and (Mark) Cuban when it allowed the Hornets to make a deal with Sacramento for Carl Landry. In the transaction, the Hornets sent cash to the Kings, along with Marcus Thornton, who is making $760,000, while taking on Landry's $3 million contract, by fitting Landry's salary into a trade exception.

 

It's not just the money that has a few teams up in arms over the league's ownership of the Hornets. Several GMs are already concerned with how the league will handle Chris Paul, a free agent in 2012 - namely whether they'll approve a trade that is in the best interest of the league, meaning a deal to a major market like New York; or, try to work a deal to a place like Orlando, where the league might want to see Dwight Howard remain with the Magic, who just opened a new arena this season. Howard also becomes free in 2012 and likes the idea of going to the Lakers to increase his endorsements and play with Kobe Bryant. His departure from Orlando could be as damaging as Shaquille O'Neal when he left for the Lakers in 1996.

 

There is speculation that the league won't want to deal Paul before it finds a new owner, since it figures to get a better price with one of the game's top players still on the roster.

Wow, where in the world do you start with this one? It is a blend of good and bad news here, the bad news for us of course is that Dwight wants to play with Kobe? (Maybe, maybe not) But how in the world did the NBA approve or add a players salary to the TPE? I thought that was taboo? So I guess all bets are off when it comes to the league, and if that is the case than CP3 may very well end up in NYC!!
