• Some Calm, Chill Dude: Hornets Going Nowhere

  Lagniappe comment - 10 days ago

  While there are certainly a billion bad writers over there, there are some good ones in the pile too.
  
  I do agree though that the bad ones sometimes make it easier to just avoid it. It's been a slow week in Hornets news. #

• Fine, Let's Talk About Carmelo and the Hornets (updated to reflect reality)

  If the team isn't willing to go deep into tax territory, which I would presume they aren't right now, then I don't think the deal is worth it. If they are going to spend 85 million a year on salary, then of course you pull the trigger and figure out how you fill out the roster later.
  
  I'm not sold that Carmelo is worth a max contract, Thornton, and Ariza. As a free agent he's a guy who would be worth signing, but once you attach two legitimate talents to that deal, one of whom makes peanuts, I really think it stops being worth it for a small market team who already has 2 huge contracts. The biggest factor in the team's success lately has been whether or not they stay healthy and if Paul doesn't have a capable backup then he can't really take a breather.
  
  There isn't one guy on the market that I would trust to even come off the bench for CP3 at this point, let alone start a few games if he gets hurt. Reality is that the injury/depth situation will almost certainly present itself and the team has to be prepared.
  
  I don't think either of the two options would make us contenders this year unfortunately. Which gives us a better chance in the future? If we're spending money like it's going out of style then I'll agree with melo, but otherwise I'm going to stick with Ariza and Thornton at 40% of the price.
  
  Maybe if we acquired Melo and gave up nothing...
  
  Can I legally add up all the trade exceptions and throw in some cookie cake to sweeten the offer? #

  Ok guys- I changed the ending of this article since it was obviously based on an illegal trade.
  
  My apologies yet again. It's been a long offseason.
  
  Great game yesterday from Team USA. Completely worth watching even if you know what happens.
  
  Rubio's passing is insane. #
