Original article
quote:
The Hornets have tried to engage the Nuggets for shooting guard J.R. Smith(notes), but Denver seems reluctant to move Smith until there’s a resolution on the Anthony talks. Portland’s two available centers – Marcus Camby(notes) and Joel Przybilla(notes) – are intriguing to most teams searching for size, but the Hornets don’t appear to have pieces that appeal to the Blazers.
quote:
Cleveland has shown no desire to negotiate a buyout on Jamison’s contract, and sources said Jamison isn’t going to pressure the issue.
quote:
The Hornets will likely be in pursuit of New Jersey Nets forward Troy Murphy(notes) once the Nets reach a buyout agreement with him after the trade deadline. Nets coach Avery Johnson made clear he didn’t want Murphy after the three-team trade that brought him from the Indiana Pacers

hope we dont get JR smith, hate that guy

They've been trying to dump him off and on all year with no takers, if they trade Melo and go into rebuild mode you can probably get him cheap. Banks alone wouldn't do it because his contract doesn't match up. Banks and Belinelli might. We already have a glut at SG so someone would have to go if you brought Smith in and I'd rather move Belinelli for Smith than Thornton. It'd probably be something like Banks/Beli for Smith/Balkman.

JR Smith and Troy Murphy would make us so much better.

I would do Banks/Belli for Smith/Balkman in a heartbeat....JR may be a headcase, but he brings athleticism that Belli doesnt.....and while he may take some ill-advised shots, when he gets rolling he can light it up from anywhere....i also think Balkman can be servicable

If certain guys cant get off the bench due to bad defense and shot selection...the staff should love JR.

Yea, if you want to give up over 100pts every night, go and get this skank.
Demps and Williams will never bring a clown like this into the team. They will have to be desparate to that and that won't happen until next year when Paul actually IS in the last year of his contract.

What about trying to work a deal with Memphis to acquire OJ Mayo ?
Something like,
Hornets
Mayo, Moon
Cavs
QPon, Thabeet, MT5
Grizzlies
Parker, Hollins. With Banks

I gotta see who exactly are we giving up to get these guys... and we aren't going after afflalo?

You know, a grown up and more mature JR Smith wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for the Bees.

Speaking of Melo putting everone's life plans on hold, there is an light-hearted but interesting take on where the Carmelo trade could go and how it would affect the league. It was at Twitter - blog link
Actually, there is some good stuff at that blog, in general.

Offer would involve Denver's pick of Thornton or Marco is the rumor.

Well, If we could get alll three of them guys and not get fricked over... Solid trade
Posted on 2/16/11 at 1:43 pm to JayJay2
All three of what guys? I think the rumor is JR for Denver's pick of Thornton and Marco + something else.
Posted on 2/16/11 at 1:47 pm to TotesMcGotes
Say bye bye to MT5 if thats the case. Belinelli is no more than a guy that should be in warm ups the entire game

Yea, the whole "Denver's choice" part gave me a laugh.
Posted on 2/16/11 at 1:52 pm to TotesMcGotes
all three of the guys we're pursuing, but nevermind... nah, i don't wanna get rid of both bally and thorntonino... I'd be ok to give up belly... Denver wants to much
