Rasheed For Tyson? December 26, 2008

-Sports illustrated Magazine is suggesting the Hornets make the below trade:
C-F Rasheed Wallace to the Hornets; C Tyson Chandler to the Pistons
New Orleans’s payroll next season is $77 million, threatening owner George Shinn with a $6 million luxury-tax bill that he can’t afford. The Hornets would drop below the threshold when Wallace’s $13.9 million salary [...]

Vacation Cancelled, Slumdog, Drew & CP3 December 19, 2008

What a week.
Last night my brother and I spent 7 hours in the Dallas airport waiting to get a flight back to New Orleans.  We were originally scheduled to have a 45 minute layover on our way to Las Vegas. 
But, because Vegas is experiencing it’s worst snow storm in over 30 years….all flights into McCarron [...]

Great Trade For The Hornets December 10, 2008

The Hornets have traded back-up point guard Mike James to the Washington Wizards for combo guard Antonio Daniels.
Great deal!
James was rotting on the end of the Hornets bench after proving he’s nothing more than a selfish ball hog who has no concept of team.
Daniels is considered a class act who’s won an NBA title and [...]

Random Thoughts December 9, 2008

Unlike his predecessor Jim Haslett, current Saints head coach Sean Payton seems to learn from his mistakes in a shorter time.
  
 
 
 
Like most type-A coaches Haslett believed in what he was doing and the players he was doing it with….to a fault.
Haslett stuck with Aaron Brooks when he should have played Jake Delhomme in 2002….and Haslett [...]
