Official new orleans hornets thread for 2010-2011

looks like julian wright has been traded for marco belinelli of the raptors...

Twitter / Marc Stein: ESPN.com sources: Hornets ...

- wright has been a major disappointment since being drafted - very athletic but isnt proficient in any particular area of the game
- dont know much about belinelli but shooters always come in handy and he wouldnt have ever played with a pg as good as cp3


Sounds like a good move because Wright wasnt performing at all for the Hornets
 
the ju ju trade was alright, but not happy we traded DC :(

Only just found out! DC is gone!

Darren Collison and veteran forward James Posey go to the Pacers in a four-team, five-player deal that sent Troy Murphy to New Jersey. The Nets shipped former Pike High School standout Courtney Lee to Houston, and the Rockets sent Trevor Ariza to the Hornets.

Ariza will be great for the hornets because he can rebound, assist and score!

Excellent move as Dc would be wasted , Ariza can play the Sg aswell as Marco so we do have Backups on the Bench .
 
Collison will be missed, but unless cp3 was moved, he would never have received enough play time. Wright will be benefited by the move also.

not sure about that norm because toronto is known for playing that very european styled half court game, so with wright being an athletic open court type guy... he would thrive on a team like the suns who run and gun or maybe less so, dallas... hopefully he proves me wrong and has a breakout season

At NO they hardly gave Julian an opportunity, so at least in Toronto he will be given the chance. That's an improvement for him! What he does with the opportunity us his call!
 
they did give some opportunity but the problem was that when he got an opportunity he squandered it by showboating and not doing things to improve every season. he also doesnt play defense... so if you dont have a specialty that you bring to a team (ie scoring or defense or rebounding or shotblocking or 3pt shooting etc your opportunities will be limited... there are a heap of athletic guys that come in and out of the league very quickly, especially guys who are sg/sf - think harold miner, think gerald green: both slam dunk champs but both with very short and meaningless nba careers

guys like this simply need to work harder... they cant simply get by on their athleticism
 
Good point you make with miner and green, reminds me a little of Ty Thomas also....

Great trade for the 76ers :D Get rid of Green, despite it being his last year of contract, to clear court time for Meeks, and Smith with his lack of potential for Songaila's expiring contract and a forward with some potential.
 
They also got Joe Alexander , DJ strawberry and Darryl Watkins

I hope they do something to lure Melo to the Hornets :p
 
Good start to the season with a win over the Bucks who are a really good team.

Next we have Denver and will be a tough game but if we can beat the bucks then we could beat the Nuggets

Yeah it was a great win. Cp3 was dishing like a pro :thumbsup:. I just hope Thornton can come good and get more game time :(

great start to the season for the new look hornets!
 
Hornets just beat the Spurs 99-90 :kick: Thats 3 in a row and all against great teams :woot:

CP3 was fantastic with 25 points, 5 assists, 7 rebounds & 2 steals :worthy:

Thornton finally got some good game time with a solid 30min and put up 17 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists & 2 steals :D

Glad to see my man putting up some good numbers after a poor pre-season :thumbsup:
 
Yeah was watching it on Espn Gamecast last 5 mins they lost a 13pt lead to 3 i started to freak but Willie green and Cp3 finished the game off :p, Looking good at 3-0 but still very early.
Team looks solid hopefully a start to a awesome season and hopefully playoffs as we have knocked off 3 of last years playoff teams.
