Why would we want to take on a guaranteed salary for 3 years if we're shedding payroll? Nobody wants picks. There's about to be over 40 good-great free agents over the next two years. Nobody wants money tied up in lottery tickets. This is flying over the heads of some...Originally Posted by NIH

1st rounders are assured a contract.
Chemistry always takes a big hit even through bench players. Now we're talking about adding someone potentially to the starting lineup who Paul has NEVER played with. He's not here for more than a year. He's here for salary relief. Figure a minimum of 5-10 games to get acquainted with the system...by that point we're pretty much out of it. I guarantee it. We are OVERLY dependent on Chris Paul.Originally Posted by cjjr72984
George Shinn.....SELL SELL SELL.
You're speculating. And we're in the stretch run. Ankle sprains don't usually get back to 100% until a player gets extended rest. Like the offseason. And even if he did, this team simply isn't good enough. We're not the Lakers.Originally Posted by NIH
The sky is falling the sky is falling...please people put a sock in it...lets say we hadn't traded Chandler; along with that - his numbers didn't get better, we get to playoffs as a lower seed and lose in the 1st rd. What would all of you be saying then? Oh oh we should have traded Chandler at the deadline before his value continued to drop and we should have took advantage of getting a great cost cutting move while we had the chance...yeah its true!

Fans don't want to hear about finances. No matter what amount of money the franchise spent to
1.bring in Peja
2. Tyson
3. the trade last year for the teenage mutant ninja turtle that added money to the roster
4. the money spent at beginning of the year (posey).
Can we give them a pass one time for trying to save money when the economy is tanking?
We're not the Lakers...we're the Hornets.. you remember? We're the team that has to fill fans with disappointment.Originally Posted by Saints Fan in A
Hornets: 0 Champions but disappointment every year.
Where exactly was Shinn going to relocate that is bigger and will build up his personal bank account?Originally Posted by UNO Gracias
KC? Not likely. While KC is bigger it is also overextended with pro sports, I doubt Shinn would make enough money in KC to go over the cap.
Las Vegas? They are hurting financially, they do not have an NBA arena, and Shinn will not be able to get funds pumped into his personal account to make going over the cap an option.
Seattle? They haven't fixed the problems that lead to the sonics leaving, I doubt Shinn would be welcome in Seattle with his hands out looking for funds.
To be clear, no city out there can finance Shinn's inability to make his personal business finances profitable. Shinn would be in this situation no matter the city he is in. Trading Chandler doesn't fall on the city or fans for not making enough money for the hornets ... somehow that is being lost on everyone in this deal.
do you really think two expiring contracts is the best we could have gotten for a pretty good 26 year old center?Originally Posted by NBA Champs
It will be nice to have depth. TC was solid, but now that we have above avg. depth and will probably see less of Marks/Bowen I am happy.

IMO Bower got his pass today. No more though...if we get in a similar situation down the road in too short a time...I'm on board with his firing.Originally Posted by kidjock
center, sometimes forwardOriginally Posted by ChrispaulCP3
We'll have depth for 32 games and the playoffs, that's it.Originally Posted by UNO Gracias
I never said that he couldn't jump.Originally Posted by DroopyDawg
Ugh..... We have like 5 of those now.Originally Posted by jmaninc68
He is what he is right now. A pretty good "injured" center.

Lets just be happy we are under the Luxury tax.

This is the mentality I've been talking about, its why neither of our teams feel pressure to win a title. Hell, we celebrate 1st round playoff wins here like it's the ****** Super Bowl.Originally Posted by UNO Gracias
