re: Tyson deal almost done...

Why do we have 33 year old Posey, 31 year old MoPete, 29 year old Rasual, and 32 year old Peja for a combined $29MM per season but we can't have one 27 year old franchise center?

Yep.
Posey has been a good addition but giving a 33 yr old role player a 4yr deal was retarded.

If Mo Pete actually cashes his checks he should be arrested for theft.

And Peja hasnt been worth the deal we gave him in about 5 or 6 years.

Who the frick is DeVon Hardin

If we didnt get a pick out of this deal I am gonna look like this:

They seemed to be almost there on being an elite team and then they go and trade Chandler away..

hornets are blowing my mind, and not in a good way

We had to have gotten a draft pick out of this....

So doesnt this trade just put them at the cap number instead of over it? If so, they still cant do anything in the offseason.

there are 2 "caps"

the actual salary cap, which allows you to sign FAs (if you're under), and the luxury tax

the luxury tax threshold establishes a payroll level where if you cross it, you're taxed $1 for every $1 you're over

we're way over the cap, and will be for a few years

we're at the luxury tax level and will be under once we let these expiring deals expire

The Thunder has acquired center Tyson Chandler from New Orleans in exchange for Chris Wilcox and Joe Smith, according to a league source with knowledge of the negotiations.

well at least there won't be many more "HORNETS BOARD?" threads

signing Posey was a big f'k up

any ideas on what they will do in the off season to get a center?
