Although the workouts were volunteer, New Orleans Hornets rookie Anthony Davis got a chance to work against San Antonio Spurs star Tim Duncan while a majority of his New Orleans’ teammates met their objective to build chemistry last week.
Unable to use their practice facility at the Alario Center because it was used as a Hurricane Isaac food stamp card distribution site, Hornets players paid their own lodging expenses and airfare to San Antonio to use the Spurs’ practice facility.
Players went through volunteer pickup games and conditioning drills that went unsupervised by coaches because they are not allowed to put players through organized offseason workouts.
Among some of the Hornets players taking advantage of the work in Texas besides Davis, the No. 1 overall pick in June's draft, were rookie guard Austin Rivers, center Robin Lopez, forward Ryan Anderson, forward Hakim Warrick, forward Jason Smith, point guard Greivis Vasquez, rookie forward Darius Miller and shooting guard Xavier Henry.
"Obviously, Tim was around, and there’s not a better guy to learn from,’’ said Anderson, a 6-foot-10 forward whom the Hornets acquired in a sign-and-trade deal from the Orlando Magic in July. "He is such a great leader and just talking with him was a positive experience in San Antonio.’’

While I'm glad they got the experience, does anyone else find it absolutely ridiculous/unacceptable that an NBA team was forced out of its "practice facility" because it is also a disaster food stamp distribution site?
Not at all... technically they're not supposed to be in there anyway, and coaches can't organize or oversee any workouts (per NBA rules), so the city used the stadium.
The trip to SA was better for bonding anyway IMO.
Agree with Droopy here

that will change soon
As a very wise man once said......"virtually all things which never change tend to remain the same".....I think it was 42 who said that....
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
Probably the $36 million dollar man, Ryan Anderson.

I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name.
