I agree with the big man because Ely and Armstrong will always have problems but if West who has a nice touch would create more off the dribble, you know drive to the hole and create fouls, there would be no need for a slasher.

even if you count west, that's still only 2 guys who can create (i don't really count west)
what killed the hornets last year was a lack of offense, esp when paul had to sit

if we don't make other free agent moves that are possibilities b/c of his salary and our owner being cheap i may lose my mind i'll put it that way

you do realize we have arguably the best team in the league, right?
when we didn't draft anyone you said our owners were cheap and were going to pocket the money rather than sign a quality free agent. well, that was wrong so why do you still insist on saying their cheap?
i just want a yes or no answer. at this time, was it a bad signing?
Posted on 11/2/08 at 7:43 pm to SlowFlowPro
well, blame the bad free agent signings because Mo Pete another waste of money was supposed to provide 3 pt shooting along with D, I'm still waiting on it.

the hornets have garbage after chandler and west, and chandler can only do 1 thing on offense (finish alley oops)
how many teams have quality backup centers? they are backups for a reason. look at san antonio. they beat us w/ oberto and kurt thomas.

so it's not the owners being cheap as much as it is actually overpaying.

no
they are cheap and didn't sign both the 1st rounder and a FA. we also didn't re-sign pargo
it isn't an either/or. it's always been an "and" situation: they should have kept the first rounder AND signed a FA
not doing so is only explained by them being cheap

unless ownership starts spending money: yes

those are quality backups
thomas: 14.08 PER
obert: 13.57 PER
armstrong: 7.76 PER
ely: 9.13 PER

You are wrong here. CP3 can D-Wade the Hornets to a title with the cast they have for sure IMO. Doesn't mean he will do it, but he sure as hell can put them on his back. Especially when you consider Paul has the ball in his hands MORE then Wade did.

they overpaid for peja
mo-pete was a midlevel guy, like posey, who does just about what posey does.
the hornets are like 18th in the NBA in salary this year (it will rise a lil when paul's extension kicks in)
Posted on 11/2/08 at 7:50 pm to SlowFlowPro
This signing is only seen as "great" if the Hornets make the NBA finals IMHO.
It's three games into the regular season, I will reserve judgement for atleast 2 or 3 more games
out of at least 82

cp3 doesn't have a shaq on this team. even west is a complimentary guy, as a jump-shooting big man who isn't good at posting up
and cp3 isn't the scorer wade was. he doesn't want to be, and in the playoffs at times it seems that he refuses to be that

huh? don't you think posey would have done wonders against that whip around spurs offense? isn't having a shite disturber exactly what you need for the playoffs? how do you define a team that is built for playoff basketball?
quote:

why do we care about pargo? he was a backup hybrid guard that was good at times.
didn't you say they were cheap and wouldn't sign a free agent after the draft?
the hornets are 18 of 30 teams in team payroll. thats right about where a team in a small hoops market and a just now forming fan base should be. do you disagree?
quote:

that contradicts what you originally stated after the signing, correct?
Posted on 11/2/08 at 7:53 pm to SlowFlowPro
Hornets are a solid team, I agree they need another big guy to back up Chandler, a body like Dallas has with Dampier and whatever his name is, Ely and Armstrong is not enough. but if Peterson steps his lame arse game up and West starts attacking the rim, you'll get the missing offense.
btw, Peja, I'vw always known will give you some 3 and that's it, if you get someone in his face at crunch time, like Bruce Bowen, he'll brickout everytime, so yeah, I gotta agree with you, they overpaid for him.

are you telling me you'd rather have oberto and kurt thomas rather than chandler and ely or armstrong?

IMO Chandler and West are probably a better front court then Shaq and Haslem were in 06. Shaq was getting pretty old at that point and Wade def. carried them.

Paul is twice the ball handler and a much much better passer then Wade is. I would go as far as to say he is a better over all play maker. Wade just really has him in the Jordaneque type scoring skill.
