Hornets to dump Baron?????

[slydevl]

Looks like the cheap Hornets owners are up to their same hijinks of dumping popular players and emerging stars. Will serve NO right to watch THEIR team dismantled in order to pad the pockets of Shinnridge.



FROM CNNSI:
Davis joined the picture Friday when New Orleans GM Bob Bass revealed that the Clippers had called about the availability of his stud point guard. Bass declined the pitch, but didn't say exactly what L.A. was offering in return.

Most likely it was forward Lamar Odom, whom the Clippers are said to be leery of giving a maximum contract to next season. An Odom-for-Davis deal would make some sense for both teams. The Clippers are not planning to re-sign free agent point guard Jeff McInnis, and Davis is an L.A. native who reportedly is not keen on moving with the team to New Orleans next season. Meanwhile the Hornets still aren't sure about the future of Jamal Mashburn, who missed the playoffs with a mysterious illness.

However, New Orleans already has George Lynch as insurance for Mashburn at small forward, and while David Wesley could slide back to the point, the roster features no other quality shooting guards. Besides, the idea of Odom in the Big Easy can't be too comforting to New Orleans management.

They might as well get something for him. He is gone when he becomes a FA. This has been a concern since the day he was drafted.

You think Carter wanted to stay in Toronto? Money talks.

P.S. The fact that Carter sucks has nothing to do with this.

You don't know me very well do you?

I think I'm starting to....you go by two handles right? The other one being sadistic or sadic or something like that?

Just kidding. I know who you are, and sadic you're not. So, um, what, pray tell do you think of MJ?

 

[slydevl]

You mean what did I used to think of MJ? What does it matter as it has little bearing on what I think of Vince. One good season does not a superstar make and I may very well be wrong but I think Vince is going to be little more than a Latrell Spreawell (above average due to his athleticism but not great) type player for the rest of his career. Time will tell.

Jordan without a doubt was the best NBAer of all time. He was a great college player also but not even top 5 all time ACC much less the nation.

You had to bring Latrell Sprewell into this huh?

Isn't that a little redundant seeing any list of the all time greatest ACC players would ALSO be a list of the best nationwide? I mean come on, do other conferences even HAVE basketball programs? I mean men's programs, of course.

Good point, but I think Vince is just with the wrong team. Put him in Boston, Philly or hell maybe even Detroit and they're winning championships. He just doesn't have that much of a supporting cast. Never did, IMHO, I think McGrady was(is) overrated.
