Agreed. (With the comment further up, more specifically than Sasha) At the end of the season, no one wanted to change anything. Then we sell one crap draft pick and everyone is clamoring for the Hornets to sign someone huge or else the offseason is a failure. Now if we LOSE someone, though, all right…

The hornets are a young team with allstars who get better every year, two allstars this season, two on the olympic team, one real MVP, and alls we really need is one or two decent backups. With the team we have now we were (except for a few poorly officiated games) which happened to give stern his playoff matchup he wanted the hornets were kicking ass and taking names all season. With a few good backups so our starters can rest and do more damage I don’t see any team that could take us in the postseason next year. So hopefully andersen will pickup his game as a valuable bench player, armstrong will see that he’ll be traded if he doesn’t develop, and if pargo and wells are still around then this will be one team to worry about in the playoffs, I mean c’mon we were second best in the west and that took an incredibly bullshit game to take us out of first place. So anyone who knows basketball knows the hornets don’t have to change much just a few little tweaks that need to be made.

truth is hornets must pull off a major multi-deal trade to progress farther in postseason, names like juan dixon or barbosa to replace mo pete, cory magette for trades, darius miles could be talks, or sasha vujavic to back up stojakovic. all these players could get great playing time w/ a team that is need of players.

And Louisiana’s own Chris Duhon just agreed in principle to a 2-year deal with the Knicks. I really hope the Hornets are making moves behind the scenes, because the good ones are all going to be gone by the 9th.

@ Michael: Ricky Davis is talented, and certainly comes cheaper than CM, but he doesn’t really play defense, is known to be lazy, and doesn’t play well with others. No thanks. Seriously, I’d rather pay $800,000 for Bowen than $3 mil for Davis. As for Swift? I like him. He’s never lived up to his potential, but has freakish athleticism. Could be a good fit, but not sure I’d want to suck up his 1-year $6 mil contract. Maybe trade him straight up for Mike James, even out the cash, see how it works, but other than that, I’d pass.

@ C-Town: from what I hear, Jeff Bower is playing his cards really tight to his vest. Either that or they’re not really doing anything. I heard the Jarvis Hayes rumor. I heard they want Posey. And while I know they’re interested in Maggette, I haven’t heard any reports about it.

Are the Hornets talking to anyone? It seems like all the names I had heard are talking to other teams .. except Jarvis Hayes?

Okay so everyone talks about Maggette, what about Ricky Davis as a good swingman or Stromile Swift as a backup who can play center or power forward
