Good Find, Tim! :clapper:
I guess the Andre Miller trade to Clips sealed the deal!!!...that'll mean a lot to the team and the town...
That means we have a great foundation for several years now. As long as Mash is healthy, we'll have them both for a long time. I'm happy. :bball: :jump:Quote:

Now we can play some ball without all the speculation.
It's hard to turn down 84 million. I can't figure out why he waited so long to put name on the dotted line. Right now CNNSI is the only one reporting this online, we'll know it's true if ESPN or TSN has it online soon.Quote:

I won't believe it until ol "3 cents" says he's gone!
;)
Seriously, this is great news!
:)
He would have been stupid too wait any longer. If he would have gotten hurt in one of these summer games, it could have been bye bye max deal. I'm glad to have him back. IMO he will be one of the best if not the best point guard in the league very soon.
Is this Spongey's birthday present? Coullion!!!
What a shocking thread title! I thought B.D. QUIT the team!
"You see, "Baron Davis resigns" is actually the OPPOSITE of "Baron Davis re-signs"
Whew! I am brathing again.;)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPONGERIDGE!
FROM: BARON DAVIS & DAVID ALDRIDGE WHO WAS ONCE AGAIN WRONG ALONG WITH ESPN. :rolleyes: :hihi:
I think you are right tim duncan, The trade must have has something to do with the signing. But he was probably leaning towards staying with the hornets for some time. what a great day!
Sorry Ellis!!
I was in a hurry and didn't put in the hypne...maybe bday boy can edit that one!
Does anyone need some CROW besides DA?

I'll take a helping of crow birthday cake because I thought he would wait until the deadline as to try and work out a trade. Great news though! This gives us a legitimate shot at taking this ride to the finals.
Yes, I thought he might have waited too. But, I always wanted him here first and foremost. Miller would have been good, but Baron is better IMO. I can't wait for that first game now on Oct. 30th. We are going to really have a great starting 5 with some great depth. I just hope they can stay healthy this season.
WOO HOOOOOOO! I hope the media is correct. This is fanatastic! With he and Mashburn signed long term, the foundation is set!!
:rocks:
:ipartytm: :ipartym: :iparty: :clapper: :godance: :jump: :bball:
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fan f'ing tastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:bouncy: :919993: :bouncy:
BTW, I guess I could take a slice of that crow pie, b/c I didn't think he was going to sign this year, but play it out until next.
That is not going to make KOOL-AID happy.
That's o.k., what's the worse that could happen? A relapse of bdiddy's Laker plague? :9199995:Quote:

Does this mean.....
It's a great day for New Orleans?
LOL, anyone who's been around for a while will know what I'm talking about. ;)
David Aldridge better stay out of New Orleans inf he knows whats good for him.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
It's a great day for New Orleans Hornets fans everywhere! :9195:
DA would make a great weatherman. ;) :p
Great news! Guess it goes to show that he and his agent were waiting to see if a trade to a preferred team would materialize. I guess that preferred team was the Clippers. Once that possibility fell through, he immediately signed the deal. Thus, his intentions all along seemed to have been to go to the Clips. It didn't work, so now he runs and signs the deal before something happens to him that would cause the offer to be pulled. In the end, I don't blame the guy for looking into his options. I have considered job transfers that might have moved me back to NOLA, so it's all good!
Congratualtions all New Orleans fans- This is a great day for the Hornets- I wish I could have enjoyed such good times while they were here- it's looks like George and Ray have learned their lesson and the Hornets will be a competitive team as long as Baron is healthy. You guys should be really excited.
Thanks C-J! I know I am excited and can't wait for the tipoff. Its a shame for true fans like you C-J in what happened there. But, you can still follow them this year. It should be great and alot of fun to watch. :clapper:
Thanks. Maybe you are right, but I am thinking that George and Ray have an improved cash flow in NOLA and they are trying to get off on the right foot by keeping their star player and making an immediate impact in the NBA for NOLA fans. Thanks, again.Quote:

Yeah, I guess I'll take mine also. I just thought he was going to do his best to get out. Can't believe I agreed with DA.:ipuker: What is this world coming to?Quote:

WWL TV has the news on the top of their website in the breaking news box.
See link: www.wwltv.com
Breaking News: "Hornets re-sign guard Baron Davis to multi-year deal. Details to follow."
Someone reported an announcement coming at 2pm. Is that true and where? WWL-870?
Why hasn't ESPN.com said anything? Have they been scooped or are they embarrassed by the comments of their expert basketball columnist, David Aldridge?:confused:
The Hornets official site has the story up on the front page.
And WWL radio just made the announcement.
BD will be a Hornet for a long time!
Here's Baron's quote from the Hornets story:
"I'm looking forward to starting a new winning tradition here in New Orleans," said Davis. "We have a great team and a great chance to build on our success, so I hope the fans and the city are as excited as I am."
Welcome to New Orleans Baron!
From the article that spongey linked to...
"I'm looking forward to starting a new winning tradition here in New Orleans," said Davis. "We have a great team and a great chance to build on our success, so I hope the fans and the city are as excited as I am."
Baron Davis is the real "star QB" in New Orleans. He needs to give Mr. Brooks a few lessons in public relations.
Welcome to New Orleans Baron!!
So he was actually here. Before, no one could really find him (besides b-ball tournaments). What a difference a day makes. Welcome BD. How about stopping by at NOH.com and giving me and say-what an exclusive to post for the board members?
Slidell, great minds think alike.
Now if I could only figure out where I left mine, I will be fine for the rest of the day. :p
When you find out who they are, let me know. I'd like to meet them.:pQuote:

HA!
HA HA!
Hahaha. :D
I was right, as usual. He did sign. Doubt the Force at your peril.

Alright!!!!!! I'm still a Hornets fan!!!!!!!
Awesome

I'll take some crow too. I really did not believe he would EVER re-sign. Don't get me wrong, I am happy he did, but I still believe he would have rathered get the max in LA, NY or CHI. Some doors closed on him and he had 84 million reasons to sign the deal here. This was the best end case scenario in this entire situation for us. Now practice them damn FTs and lets win a championship. Any less than the NBA trophy and I'll chase them out of town.;) :p
Anyone think he'll lend me a million? I could use it right now.
I think New Orleans collective net worth just got kicked up a little more. Maybe 6 cents now. ;)Quote:

Get a grip on yourself, say. PLEASE.
If these Harvey-like symptoms continue, let me know & I'll schedule you an appointment with Dr. Anna Kournikova.
I hear her specialty is hot-tub therapy. ;)
