How good is this roster?
I wonder if they're going back to that Toronto deal or some form of it.
Good enough to secure another lottery pick.Quote:

Take JMags out and it starts to look somewhat decent.Quote:

How about this:
In the offseason, we trade Mags to LAL for Odom.
Roster:
PG: Chris Paul
SG: JR

PF: Odom
C: Curry
If the Philly and GS deals are legit, the Hornets will have TONS of cap room. I mean, not just alittle, but a HUGE amount. They will be able to wheel-and-deal to imrpove the roster in a hurry.
Stephen A. Smith just said on NBA Shootaround that he doesn't think that BD will be traded. He said the Hornets called Golden State and the Celtics and others, but too much money and bad health are killing deals.
Boston?
Yeah, I was caught off guard by that too.
Why on Earth would the Lakers trade Odom for Magloire? Mihm puts up basically the same numbers as Magloire. Who would we give up for Curry? The Bulls alrady have Heinrich.Quote:

New Orleans trades: PG Baron Davis (19.7 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 7.3 apg in 33.8 minutes)
New Orleans receives: PG Gary Payton (12.2 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 6.1 apg in 33.0 minutes)
Michael Stewart (No games yet played in 2004/05)
PF Tom Gugliotta (1.4 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 0.6 apg in 10.7 minutes)
Change in team outlook: -6.1 ppg, +1.1 rpg, and -0.6 apg.
Boston trades: PG Gary Payton (12.2 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 6.1 apg in 33.0 minutes)

Change in team outlook: +6.1 ppg, -1.1 rpg, and +0.6 apg.
TRADE ACCEPTED
Due to New Orleans and Boston being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. New Orleans and Boston had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Remind me why we want Payton? I want Marcus Banks if it's the Celts.
The Glove has seen his better days. The Seattle guys tend to think that he may end up in MIN before it's all over tomorrow.
Stephen A. Smith!!!???!!!Quote:

Again, Toronto was NEVER a legitimate option. They were using the Hornets name to elevate Marshall's value. Some of the media guys who have no clue have been holding on to the Toronto rumor.Quote:

Exactly ULSaint, they all come off the books baby!
Good, thats the one deal i didn't like.Quote:

West Coast Hornet...All I was saying is that if Baron does play the rest of the season (and i realize that is a BIG if), he can showcase he still has the potential and talent to be one of the top PG's in the league. If that were to happen, I was just saying that I think the Hornets could get a much better deal than this current Golden State trade. In regards to the "worshipped caproom" idea, think about this for a second? There has been alot of talk about clearing all this caproom in order to sign a top notch free agent this offseason. One example is Michael Redd. Do you honestly think Redd would sign here for the max to play with Dickau and JR, or do you think he would sign to play with the Cavs for a little less money to play with LeBron?!?!? Seems like a no-brainer. The same goes for the rest of the "superstars" in the league. Every one of them will more than likely find a better scenario than to come play for us. So unless you think Stromile Swift is going to be our franchise's SAVIOR, I wouldn't hold my breath. Just my opinion though!
BD trade is a +, but the trade I really care about is MASH for GR. We need the $$$.
That he jacks up 3's and can't shoot and needs to shave?Quote:

TRADE ACCEPTED
Are you knocking Stromile? I think Swift is a good player. He can dunk and block shots. Granted, he could work on his outside game a little bit. But if you get him paired with an athletic big man, I think he would be an allstar. Swift would be a tremendous asset to this team and most likely want to play here in his home state. I don't think he will be a savior but he can contribute.
I believe thats whats wrong with the NBA today. All the fans and media want to see a MJ or a "saviour." I'd rather build a team.
Actually, I don't really disagree with you. Several of us (I can name names) have been advocating strongly for getting some good value for BD if a trade were imminent. Something of value meaning more than just cap room. You are right. We don't know what the Hornets will get out in FA. I totally agree. I also agree that BD can be a wonderful PG. But there are some things that have happened to create what I would call the perfect storm for a trade. Namely, he basically asked for a trade in the off-season (read my sig if needed), and he has been bitten by the injury bug AGAIN. These two things are the biggest factors in moving him. Add to it his declining marketability in New Orleans (perception/reality? Who knows, but I think this is out there), and the Hornets have impetus to move him asap. That's what I think is happening. Given those factors, it is hard to stop that train. And if he is going to be moved, I fail to see much difference between now and April or beyond.Quote:

Swift is nowhere near worth the type of contract he wants or people talk about. He is an average player at best. I doubt he will ever be an all-star, but that is just my opinion. Heck, Birdman can dunk and block shots.Quote:

If so, BD for Pietrus, Claxton, and Dale Davis may be the one.Quote:

But if the guy does want a ridiculous amount of money than he can go somewhere else.
Of course, but Birdman plays for peanuts compared to what Swift wants.Quote:

Artest or Redd...Redd would be huge too.
"Toronto, Philadelphia and Atlanta have been linked as sincere suitors, but, according to a Warriors infiltrator, Golden State phoned in a late, thought-provoking bid of Mike Dunleavy and free agent-in-waiting Dale Davis."
http://www.nypost.com/sports/41154.htm
With Dickau, Jacobsen, West, and now maybe Dunleavy, the Hornets should be in the 2002 Final Four.
Thursday should be an active day here.
How soon will we see action HH?
If we deal Baron to Golden State, I'd want Dale Davis, their 2005 first rounder and Speedy Claxton in return.
With Claxton and Dickau we'd have covered the point. Dale Davis gives us another big man for the rest of the season and comes off the books in the summer. GS sucks right now and will for the rest of the season, so their firstrounder is a lottery pick for sure.
Then deal Mash and Rogers to Philly (although I kind of doubt the Sixers will do that after aquiring Webber) for Robinson and get even more cap space.
With those moves we could turn it around in a lot less time then anybody expected.
