Obviously not. Are you telling me you were anticipating this move from that kind of quote then, and holding out on the rest of board?

WHY is this stupid rumor still floating around? it makes no sense for the hornets? tyrus thomas is not going to score points for us like dwest does. if you lose west you have to replace his scoring. where are those 20 points a night going to come from?



haha, yeah, by this logic we would be trading west for a bag of dicks

we will lose wests points

DID IT EVER CROSS YOUR MIND THAT WE MIGHT BE GETTING PEOPLE IN RETURN

for fricks sake. david west is not the only person in the history of earth that could score points from the power forward position in the new orleans arena

I know what you were saying.

But...

In reality, this statement means nothing. Because, the idea that any of us know whats going on inside the FO is ridiculous.

You just named the last 2 guys on the bench. With better injury fortunes they will become irrelevant.

As far as patronizing you, whatever. Look at my avatar. I am saying that I was wrong and that others who shared my opinion was wrong. Unless you can explain why we're more likely to trade West NOW than we were this morning, I think you're obviously clinging to your "Bower sucks" mentality instead of embracing a great move that (coupled with the draft) has the Hornets relevant again. A year earlier than any of us thought possible.

Ron, I think if they move West it'll be for someone that would really excite the fans. That Wallace/Rip for West thing would have had me amped. If they trade him, I trust they'll get something good.

I don't disagree with that at all eyeran, I'm just speaking from the point of view of a fan, which typically involves reading their public comments and trying to figure out, at least generally, what they intend to do. I have no opposition to the trade, I like it, I'm just trying to figure out where it came from.

No, I'm shocked by it as is everyone else. But instead of griping about how this manna from heaven might be poisoned or a trick of some sort, I'm saying let's be thankful and fricking dig in.

This is a great trade for the Hornets and nobody can spin it any other way. The only angle left is to cling to the "HarveyHornet sucks" belief and speculate that the Hornets HAVE to be cooking up a franchise-killing trade because Bower just CAN'T POSSIBLY have made 3 smart moves (Collison, Thornton, Okafor) in a row.

My point is that he quite obviously HAS made these 3 smart moves in a row, DIDN'T trade any picks, HASN'T dumped salary, and now pulled the best trade we've ever dreamed for Tyson out of his arse.

bc exactly what the guy said earlier that you so adamantly disagree with


unless pau for a bag of dicks falls in your lap, you are going to have to give up someone who is relevant in the league to get something back. those kind of trades dont just happen every year


why should bower be let off the hook right now. we sai earlier nobody will know what is the outcome of this shite until after peja comes off the books. if they make good moves and package him the right way, and dont mind taking a lux hit this year, then yeah, great job power, i applaud you

but he has made stupid fricking moves in the past, so im sorry if im a little skeptical

and regardless what you think they said about the moves of the team, the number one objective for this team has been to cut money and get under the tax number. theres no denying this. otherwise, we wouldnt have sold our pick last year and gotten a cheap young player that would contribute at a low dollar


that being said, unless we can find someone who is in extreme cost cutting measure, we are gonna have to give to get

yes, exactly

people get too attached to their favorite players in the nba, and this is the league where more deals are made than any due to money

for some reason i think these idiots think that we will jsut give up west


OH MY GOD, WHO IS GONNA SCORE POINTS IF WEST LEAVES, OMG OMG OHNO

I've skipped through most of this thread, but why are so many concerned about the money from the Hornets' standpoint? That's George Shinn's concern, not ours. The problem with Chandler wasn't his contract, it was the fact that he has an injury situation that may be chronic. If the guy misses a lot of games again, the Hornets are fricked. If he even loses an ounce of athleticism due to injuries, he's basically done as a legit player and the Hornets are screwed.

This is a great deal for the Hornets. If they have to still dump someone for payroll, who gives a frick. There's not a player on this team besides Paul or West that will hurt the team if he's traded.

Great move by Bower.

I'm on board with that, I just like to measure my reaction to things a little more.

false man, frick


the angle that can be spun is EXACTLY WHAT WEVE BEEN SAYING THE PAST TWO PAGES


in the fact that this team has done everything based on money lately, and this debunks everything that we have come to be accustomed with as fans


if we arent gonna be tightasses about it, then yes, its a great trade, but that is yet to be seen

Because it affects what the Hornets can do for the next 5 years instead of 2.

wow, so apparently the only team we can trade with is the bulls.

didnt know that


eyeran, shut the frick up, seriously. this is a board for discussion, and just bc people will step out from the norm and question a move every so often doesnt mean we need some homo like you playing the, "OMG, you obviously know more than the gm, maybe you should run the team" weak arse stance


seriously, provide decent points or stfu
