McNamara, no offense, but if you can't release names, then why would you release other information about the player leaving us to speculate? If the team doesn't want anyone to know who they re going after, don't report teaser information just to get more hits on your page/twitter feed. Or just post who they are showing interest in. If it's only rumors, label it as a rumor and attach a name to it.
This is stuff about reporters and reporting that drives me nuts. Sorry to vent. It's not just McNamara that does this... it happens all the time.
If he told us exactly which player he was talking about, he'd most likely risk losing the connection or connections he found this information from in the first place. By providing us hints, he's giving us the ability to guess for ourselves and not leaving us completely in the dark. It's completely understandable. As a fan, I know it's frustrating. But I'd rather get some information than no information at all.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Sometimes I'd rather just be surprised by a move than sit around waiting for a trade that may not happen. I dunno.. it just seems that if releasing information about the trade could compromise the trade/relationship with "sources" then why even release hints and leave it at "Sources say Hornets may make a move before Wednesday".
It's that PLUS the fact that at least one of the guys offered in the proposal figures to be a part of the Hornets regular rotation. As a fan, I dont want that guy to be effected if the Hornets shop him but cant make a deal and he has to play for us.
That's my thinking, but I could understand if others dont agree with it
@mcnamara247
A small move? Or a "small" move? *wink wink*
If he would come in and start right away, then that leads me to believe it would have to be a point guard
I'm actually wondering if Jason Smith gets traded this season. He'll be hard to keep long term and Lopez is playing well enough that he'll get fewer minutes than he deserves. I think a fan favorite getting shipped out this season is a given. We already lost Goose.
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

It's clearly mo williams guys. 4 teams started for, expiring and would start for us.
Either way, i appreciate the info because it gives us something to speculate about before the season starts.
