  I guess Lala's 'entertainment career' will blow up after their upcoming VH1 series. #

  So I guess Lala is trying to become bigger than she is.
  
  Grayson, Paul is already on the hit list. Haha. On the hit list a whopping 2 years before his contract is even up. A lot of Hornets fans won't be able to enjoy Hornets basketball because they'll be too worried about when Paul leaves. Whenever it happens, it happens. In the meantime, I'll just be enjoying the game that I love. #

  I guess it just basically tripped me out to read him saying...
  
  "It's what we do as media; we cultivate sources that help us write the truth,...."
  
  
  
  But more on topic, I think the Hornets signing Amundson (to a decent not over the top contract) would be a good thing. We could sorely use his rebounding, shot blocking and hustle. Let all these 'experts' keep us below the radar. Kind of reminds me of the summer going into the 2007-08 season. Hopefully our season will be that and more.

  Off topic:
  
  This made me think about how we all were wondering why CP3 didn't squash rumors of him wanting a trade. I figured he didn't because it was possible his front office wouldn't have gotten their butts in gear to do something with the roster. Then I just read this article from this guy at Hoopsworld about Carmelo.....
  
  
  "Anthony can't stop the rumors. It's what we do as media; we cultivate sources that help us write the truth, and frequently, for whatever reason (they like you as a reporter, they think the truth should be told, they have an ax to grind, etc…), people close to the situation choose to talk.
  
  And let's acknowledge this: having free agency chatter out there benefits Anthony to a certain extent because it pressures Denver's ownership into making moves to keep Anthony happy. In the long run, however, free agency talk would become a burden on Anthony and almost everyone close to him.
  
  If Anthony doesn't talk, reporters - in-town and out-of-town reporters, print reporters, online reporters, radio reporters, TV reporters, etc… - ask other Nuggets about what they're hearing. If a reporter has received reliable information from that player in the past, that could turn into a "source close to Anthony" story. "

• Sources: Thornton not good

  Journal comment - 10 days ago

  This guy over at Hoopsworld.com is chatting and he says this about Thornton...
  
  
  B-Man in Philippines:
  do the hornets have the assets they're willing to give up to land Rip Hamilton? And would you prefer someone who can be a stretch 4 for Indiana but only grab 4 rebounds, or someone who can get 10 boards but no range at all?
  
  Bill Ingram:
  I'd rather have someone to replace some of Murphy's scoring in Indiana, though a rebounder would be OK with Collison in the mix. The Pacers don't have a lot of choice at this point. Dumars keeps saying he's not trading Rip, so it doesn't appear to be about assets. Not sure the Hornets have the right pieces, nor am I sure they need Rip. Thornton is going to be fabulous!

  "He should be a 20+ppg guy with CP3 by his side as long as CP looks to him for more than just 3 pt shots."
  
  
  But CP does and has looked for Thornton for more than 3 point shots. Marcus moves well without the ball and CP found him on a couple of occasions for back door cuts. It was such a nice thing to see. I especially liked Thornton's start against Portland. I think that was his first start and Thornton was scoring numerous ways. I can't wait to see him again this season. #
