re: The Hornets and Peja

Didnt like this move when we made it. Our brass has been outstanding with draft and free agents imo. This one made/makes no sense.

His years have overtaken his production.

we don't finish 2nd in the west without Peja.
Peja went 28-51 from 3's in the playoffs that year, 25-27 from the line
he had one of his best statistical years of his career shooting the 3.
he shot 44% from deep, 4th in the league, shot the 4th most in the league behind 3 ball hogs, and made the 2nd most in the league, also led the league in FT%

people are so quick to forget how important and dangerous he was from 3 that year.
but of course, thats before a lot of people were hornets fans.
we actually had a fast break and up tempo offense, CP3 would find Peja on the break for 3 and he was money all year long doing that. the momentum from the 3's he'd hit like that were bigger than dunks.
