Tyson Back…The Playoffs…Jindal…And The Dreaded Luxury tax
February 21, 2009

I think the entire Tyson Chandler trade disaster will push the Hornets to new heights.

 
The bungled deal…which went sideways when TC was unable to pass a physical due to a big toe condition…will make Hornets players realize that the window of opportunity in the NBA is small.  Paul will make every player even better than he [...]

Chandler Back In NOLA: Worst Case Scenario
February 19, 2009

Tyson Chandler failed his Physical with the Oklahoma City Thunder and is coming back to New Orleans. I was one of the very few people who thought the Hornets trade with OKC was a good deal…so I now believe that TC’s return to NOLA is the worst case scenario for the Hornets.

Hornets players were elated [...]

Are The Hornets Done Trading?
February 18, 2009

I hope the Hornets can pull off one more trade before Thursday’s NBA trade deadline. 
I know people are down on the Tyson Chandler to Oklahoma City deal but fans should not be too upset. 
Look, I like Chandler as much as anyone.  Tyson even did a segment called “Tyson Talk” last year here at WDSU.  But Chandler [...]

Our freshest non-Amare scenario: Sources say Oklahoma City is going after New Orleans center Tyson Chandler, with the Hornets known to be seriously interested in slicing payroll and with the Thunder capable of offering the Hornets two replacement big men with expiring contracts (Joe Smith and Chris Wilcox) as well as one of [...]

Oh No…Vince Carter To San Antonio??? (Plus My FINAL Two Trades To Help The Hornets)
February 14, 2009

I almost threw up in my mouth as I was looking through the trade rumors just now.
According to multiple sources the New Jersey Nets and San Antonio Spurs are close to a deal that would send Vince Carter to the Spurs. 
 
Let me repeat…VINCE CARTER TO THE SPURS!!!!!
The Nets would pick up two young players [...]

Hornets-Jazz Gamble
February 13, 2009

Once Amare Stoudemire is traded (in essence setting the market value) to a new team I expect three other big man to be dealt.
Tyson Chandler, Chris Kaman and Samuel Dalembert.
As previously stated on this blog and during the sportscasts on WDSU Tyson is not being traded because the Hornets don’t want him…he’s being shopped because the [...]

Tyson Talk
February 11, 2009

Look, it’s no secret now…the Hornets are shopping Tyson Chandler in an attempt to get under the NBA’s luxury tax for next season.
But the big question is:  Can the Hornets pick up a good player or players for a post season run…and does that player (or players) have an expiring contract that can come off [...]

Another 4 Team Blockbuster Trade!!!
February 8, 2009

Okay…The ESPN trade machine is officially my new addiction!
Below the blockbuster deal you’re reading about you’ll find two more four team trades which I really like. 
But after getting beat up by Hornets fans for suggesting the two deals below this one…I have come up with a true blockbuster deal that would make four teams happy!

Hornets-Heat-Knicks-T’Wolves Trade
February 8, 2009

I can’t help myself…I’m addicted to the ESPN NBA trade machine!
Since I have no life I have come up with yet another 4-team deal to help the Hornets make a deeper run into the post season.
***MY FIRST (AND FAVORITE) 4 TEAM TRADE SCENARIO IS BELOW…LETS CALL THIS ONE PLAN-B***
Minnesota Timberwolves

Hornets-Bucks-Warriors-Thunder Blockbuster Trade!
February 5, 2009

The Hornets of 2008-2009 are starting to remind me of the Saints from 2007.
After an amazing season that put the team on the map (Saints 2006/Hornets2007-2008)….they suffer through a sophomore slump and fail to live up to expectations.
After being picked to win the Super Bowl in 2007 the Saints failed to make the post season.  Free [...]
