That's a bit harsh, no?

If you're going to constantly pimp your blog, at least give some original insight. It is what it is. He's asking for criticism, right?

This guy doesn't seem to really know much about the players and the teams.

I would imagine that his site gives him more access to the Hornets than the common fan.

GeauxHornets, do you get to ask Demps questions every now and then, or is that just the 247 and atthehive guys?

I agree with Jay on this. You can just clog the lane on the Thunder now. There outside shooting is terrible. Harden can shoot yeh. Harden, Cook and Durant are all just average 3 pt shooters.

Sefelosha, Perk and Ibaka are going to be 3 of their starters that you don't even have to guard outside the paint. And with Westbrook if he is taking 15 foot jumpers then you already won that battle by keeping him out if the paint.

I think the Clips are the only realistic landing spot for Paul if he leaves



Well yeh, if his requirement are to play in a big market city and with another superstar that can also pay him max salary. Then LAC is the most logical destination

Both the Celtics and the Thunder got worse with that trade

They get their access from Demps doing meet and greets with ticket holders. I think 247 might have gotten press passes this year so they get access to the arena after practice but I don't think I've seen any exclusive access to anyone yet. Really Jim Eichenhofer from hornets.com and the tv/radio guys are the only ones that seem to get much access.

Ibaka and Harden will more than make up for the loss of Jeff Green.

Also, Cook, Harden, Robinson, and Maynor are all capable of hitting outside shots. Are they JJ Redick-esque shooters? No, but you have to respect them.

I'm almost positive one of them has press passes this season, just can't remember which one. I want to say it was 247.

You regurgitated information from other sites and added in shitty opinions and stated the obvious. Not really misinformation, just one kid's opinion. Do you crunch the numbers in your NBA Live trade simulator?

If you read enough about the NBA, odds are you're going to see some of the same opinions voiced more than once. I'm sorry you think that I was just "stating the obvious," but of course you are entitled to your own opinion as well. I'm not really sure what that "NBA trade simulator" comment was about, so I'm just going to let it go. I'm also sorry that you don't seem to think that I know much about the players and the teams; At The Hive doesn't seem to agree with you, but to each their own.

Not really, I'm just an avid fan and season ticket holder who's benefitted from a couple season ticket holder perks, such as that Q&A with Demps.

Lol. If these guys are taking 25 ft shots then I'd take that all day over Durant and Westbrook driving to the goal.

And I expect Cook and Maynor or Robinson to not even be in the 8-9 man playoff rotation.

Cook and Harden are the only two guys that are even a threat from 3. If Nate wants to jack em up then by all means be my guess. And Maynor can't make that shot on a consensus basis. Hell let KD sit back there and chunk up the 3 if he chooses to. Like I said only Harden and Cook are the only threats they have from beyond the arc.

I'm not saying they're going to be drawing up plays for these guys. I'm just saying that they're capable. If you help off of James Harden, he can hit a long-range jumper.

One guy. Nate can't shoot. Neither can Maynor.

Sure, Nate is up and down, but he's capable of hitting shots. People aren't going to leave him like he's Rondo or something.

And aside from a slump in January, Maynor has been a very solid three point shooter this season.

Again, I'm not saying they're going to wake up tomorrow and be 2003 Peja, but they can at least make some shots.

Maynor has 27 three point field goals made in 57 games. So one every two games.

And I love it when Nate starts jacking em up from long range. Dude is garbage.

Either way, a lack of three point shooting hasn't hurt them too much to this point, I don't think it'll hurt them too much now.

No but the lane just got clogged up a little more. You put Perkins in there instead of Green. A guy that doesn't ever leave the lane as compared to a guy who can atleast Be a threat from 18 feet.

Well, that's you, I say short-term they aren't as good. esp. with no real big man, and long term, we'll see.


???
If they don't have a real big man then nobody in the league except for Orlando does.
