Latest Chalk Talk with Dell

[NOLa.]

I think that's what he is looking for. A team like Dallas might pay for Jennings if they don't get Howard (I don't think Dwight will go to Dallas). Cuban has been pretty desperate to get some new player.

I'd rather have Vasquez at 5-8 million than Jennings at the Max.

jeff teague
tyreke evans
dj augustine, anyways I hope we get smart and rivers can be our jamal crawford

Only one I'd be interested in out of that group is Teague and I wouldn't offer much. I expect Atl to match any reasonable offer he signs.

I'd like Jennings, but I wouldn't pay him the max.

I think Cuban does, mainly because he's tired of being told no by FA

I'd rather have Vasquez at 5-8 million than Jennings at the Max.

I'd rather jump off a bridge than pay either of those guys that much

2. Hornets facility that will be built next to the Saints facility will be the biggest in the league. Dell designed it and feels it will help lure FA's here. A little bigger than Dallas, OKC, and Cleveland's.

Very excited about this.

Very excited about this.

I'm excited aswell. New Orleans seems to be getting alot of attractions, as I read about a movie studio backlot and movie studio in the Eastern area.

Figured we could use a thread on this. From what I've gathered, this was what was discussed:

1. Rivers play. Said he was young and needed time.

2. Hornets facility that will be built next to the Saints facility will be the biggest in the league. Dell designed it and feels it will help lure FA's here. A little bigger than Dallas, OKC, and Cleveland's.

3. Said Gordon was playing at about 80%. Docs instructions not to play back to backs. They don't want to take the risk of him getting hurt again in a non playoff season. Demps said it takes a full season to get in game shape without a camp. Gordon isn't full speed yet. Said having him run on treadmills underwater and other treatments that are doing with him don't recreate game speed and his lack of being in game shape is why he'll have strong first halfs but trail off in the second. Said he hopes working with EJ this summer, they can have him ready to go next year. Chalk talk happened after the announcement about ticket prices so Demps kind of told the future with Gordon.

4. Upgrading PG is one of the teams priority's this offseason, mentioned trying Greivis at SF.

5. Lopez was not brought in to have this big of a role. According to Demps, Lopez was originally brought on to use against the Howards and Bynums of the NBA and not much else.

It is great to hear about the new facility.

Does anyone know if the new facility is still going on those soccer fields by the Saints complex? Or is it going behind the Saints complex? I thought they had started work on the facility, and when I drove by today, the filed sat untouched, but a lot of construction was going on ON the Saints facility and behind the Saints facility.

Upgrade the point guard is an OBVIOUS AND A GLARING NEED......need another RIM ATTACKER from the wing position....offensive team speed is needed..( blue in the face comments as i've been saying it since Columus discovered Brooklyn)..."need guys that can attack of the dribble!"
Let me put it this way,upgrade these two areas or its "paddles to the chest!".Read my three rules listed below over and over...memorize them and drop the 4 keys from planes in the sky till the entire area is aware of them! They should ne your mantra.

Like you i love this game.

Cheers,
V

^ We have a (currently) half-assed version of that in Rivers. We do not have any such equivalent at SF.
