re: Hornets interested in Nene and Barea

We traded #11 for 2 picks in the 20s and cap relief,

that was more selling the pick, if memory serves

if Demps has 2 picks in the late teens and cap space maybe he can get a top 10 pick out of it.

possibly, but i doubt it

but i just don't like barea as a long-term option. he's small, can't play D, and is streaky

most people just saw him in the playoffs (when he was ON). i'm just leery of that (esp since he was a 10ppg guy in the year)
