What should we do?

Best move the Hornets could make, trade their pick to Charlotte. People are over valuing Davis to such a degree that even swapping one spot could net the Hornets 3 future first rounder’s (all of which would likely be lottery picks). There is no doubt that AD is good, but I don't see greatness in him. I see a complimentary player, not the floor general. I don't see a leader.

The chances of resigning Eric Gordon, are probably slim to none! I would love to have him, but I just see it not going the way we want it. We most definitely won’t trade AD, unless we get something ridiculous like the 3 first round lottery picks, including a guaranteed future top 3. The Cavs could throw something at us too. They really wanted Kyrie Irving to play with AD. This could happen, because Dan Gilbert is a moron.

With the way I see it playing out is we draft AD, due to the whole overall change to our franchise. New owner, new team name, new colors, new arena due to millions of dollars of renovations….and new franchise player to build around. The thing is…we have to resign EG for this to work, otherwise AD will leave us like CP3 if we can’t put pieces around him immediately. The Thunder have been successful, because they built around Durant, and Westbrook. Like I said previously, I just don’t see AD as a franchise dominating leader. Look how good Dwight Howard is, and look where they are. If we don’t make any trades, and happen to keep AD, EG, and #10 pick cough Damien Lillard cough cough (hopefully pans out) then we got Ariza, Kaman, Okafor, Jack, and Landry. Over 3 years with building around this team, and an aging Lakers, Spurs team…we could be competing with the Thunder.

The number 1 pick is a rare beast, and we are very fortunate the NBA rigged it for us. WE hold the golden ticket. Last time this franchise drafted #1 was a good one in Larry Johnson. I just hope we make the right decision, and everything pans out…because we deserve it after going through Katrina!!!!
