Hornets Hype

Free Agency signings, with several Hornets-related impacts. I’ll be brief.

• Devin Brown: signed as a back-up to CP. Yes, Pargo left, but what about MJ? Wouldn’t make signing a pure 2 or a 4/5 make more sense? Anyway, I love the fact that Devin’s coming back. He’s a good guy and a hard worker.
  
• Adam Haluska: signed with Hapoel Migdal Jerusalem. Best of luck, man, best of luck.
  
• J.R. Smith: re-signed with the Nuggets, allegedly a multi-year deal. Is he staying or about to be signed and traded?
  
• Darius Miles: defying medical experts, DM has returned from microfracture surgery, after being away for the game for two years…if he plays at least 10 games for them, his $27.5 million in guaranteed pay from the Blazers goes back on their books.
  
• Devean George: re-signed to a 2 year, $4 million deal with the Mavs. Note, the team avoided another 1 year deal and the refusal rights that come with it.
  
• Theo Ratliff: signed a one-year deal with the 76ers. He claims he never wanted to leave.
  
• Donyell Marshall: waived by the OKC whatevers.
  
• Goran Dragic: one way or another, the Suns second round draft pick is going to end up here; when, however, is in queston, and relates to the terms of the buyout of his European contract.
  
• Shawn Kemp: at age 40, the ex-Sonic is headed to Italy. Nice retirement plan.
  
• Dorell Wright: re-signed with the Heat. After watching Wade this summer, I’d sign for the minimum, dude.
  
• Gordon Giricek: after a short stint with the Suns, is headed for Turkey. Couldn’t see that one coming.
  
• Demitrius Nichols: re-signed with Chicago. One year. Partially guaranteed. Woo.
