Exactly, that's why we prefer Willie Green and Marco Belinelli.

monta ellis is a much bigger ball hog than thornton

thornton's ceiling is a kevin martin-type

every team needs a pure scorer

We couldn't get Landry for green or belli dude. It's not like the kings were open to taking Marco, willie or mt5.


Quit making it seem that way

If that's the case, let's talk about every lsu player ever played, and let's continually talk about brandon bass since he played for the hornets... NO, that's not how it works, the hornets board was made for the hornets, and you know that. Don't try to pull that "this is an lsu board" card

Im really tired of hearing the arguement that MT is inconsistent. If he was consistently scoring 29 points a game he would be the best player in the league.

I dare you to name someone who scores 29 points a night consistently, and then out of those people tell me who does it while getting 10 minutes one night, 20 minutes the next, then a DNP.

The only thing inconsistent was his minutes.

I wasn't trying to say that, all I was saying is don't say that Marcus wouldn't have helped us win a title when the guys in his place aren't as good as he is.

People say they were mad because he is the "2nd best scorer" but come on, let's be real here

Never said he wouldn't. I will admit that he and Monty never liked eachother and it was obvious. So if you were a true fan of his, you would be happy he will atleast be getting minutes on a team willing to give them to Marcus.

he played like shite more often than not this year.

his minutes were very inconsistent, which did have an effect on his game. i agree.

but anybody that wanted to take a 3 on him could; he can't beat a screen to save his life.

yeah he grabbed some boards for us, but most of the time it was because he was waaay out of position.

and he's streaky as all hell when it comes to his jumper, and can't dribble penetrate as well as some people like to think. kid gets his shite stuffed more often than not.

we can find someone else just as good as him if not better.

The fact of the matter is that you are on a LSU website with a sub board about the Hornets.That is how it works.If you wish to have a website where LSU is not the dominant force, I suggest posting at another Hornets website where LSU isn't the dominant factor.

But again...this particular board is about the Hornets.

If you want to talk about Thornton...there's the MSB and the Rant.

Talk about the trade...for a few days. I feel the trade has been discussed ad nauseum. These "Thornton scored 39 last night " posts are out of line on this particular board IMO.
