Pelicans Talk	re: Vinny Del Negro fired by Clippers - GeauxHornets on 5/21/13 at 3:26 pm [quote]Sterling never goes for a big name.[/quote] Sterling has never had a star like CP3 or a team this good before. That being said, I agree that he'll take the cheaper route. Also, Malone is white, which Sterling's racist self will clearly prefer.... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
Pelicans Talk	re: Vinny Del Negro fired by Clippers - GeauxHornets on 5/21/13 at 3:02 pm [quote]@KBergCBS As Clips search for new coach, Paul is known to be a proponent of Warriors assistant Michael Malone.

Pelicans Talk	re: Does Xavier have a future at the 3 spot? - GeauxHornets on 1/16/13 at 9:49 am It's pretty clear that, given his sub-par jumper, he doesn't have a chance at the 2. I do think that there's still a chance that he could carve out a role as a backup 3 with his skill set; he's athletic, strong, and can get to the rim. If he works on improving his defense (he could be a good defende... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic

Pelicans Talk	Standardizing Advanced Statistics - GeauxHornets on 11/11/12 at 9:58 am Don't usually pump my own posts on here, but we're really trying hard over on Hornets247 to push the adaptation of advanced stats as opposed to the other more traditional metrics.

Pelicans Talk	re: Hypothetical trade question - GeauxHornets on 8/16/12 at 1:20 pm [quote]False. A 24 year old franchise center is a better asset than 2 top 5 picks.

Pelicans Talk	re: Hypothetical trade question - GeauxHornets on 8/16/12 at 10:36 am Apples and oranges, IMO. Orlando's motive in the trade wasn't to acquire as much talent as possible in return; if it was, they would have either taken Bynum in a much simpler trade or grabbed Iggy and removed Denver from the deal completely. They want to bottom out in the short term, because no sing... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
Pelicans Talk	re: ESPN Insider: How Good Will Hornets and Wolves Be? - GeauxHornets on 8/10/12 at 10:47 am Very good read. The Hornets' analysis looks to be pretty much in line with my projection on H247 last Friday; in the 2009-10 season, the Hornets had 37 wins and were 11th in the conference (though the WC is deeper now than it was then). I'm also happy to see how strong of a season he predicts Mi... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic

Pelicans Talk	re: Darko like to be Amnestied - GeauxHornets on 7/12/12 at 10:29 am I think he'd be perfect for the Hornets. Here's why: From Hollinger's eval: While there are few rational explanations for Minnesota's offensive reliance on Milicic, he is genuinely useful at the defensive end. He was third among centers in blocks per minute and graded strongly in Synergy's stats,... Jump to Post in Topic - View Entire Topic
