Everyone thinks it's the end of the world because we don't have McRoberts' passing. Who gives a @#%&? You know who can pass, shoot and defend better than McRoberts? LANCE STEPHENSON!!!

Vonleh, PJ and Williams are very good additions. PJ will be starting SG before mid-season and Williams is actually big and quick enough to guard LeBron better than McRoberts. <br /><br />If the coaching staff is smart enough to use the talent we have instead of like clueless fans belly aching about players not on the roster, the Hornets will win more games.<br /><br />The past is just that, the past. Players improve and teams improve from year to year. And since it is Michael's team he can place as many Tar Heels on the roster as he pleases. And I hope he lets Lance stay in Indy. The Hornets can be pretty good with the current roster if they play team ball. Besides consistently running isolation plays for one or two "superstars" is boring basketball.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-52753602544160600412014-07-14T12:00:31.776-04:002014-07-14T12:00:31.776-04:00No way--- should have taken McDermott at nine.

So much for having a boat load of money this year. And I blame the media here for vilifying Lance Stephenson, otherwise he’d probably be signed by now, and he can certainly make the team a whole lot better. But the holy rollers in this city only want a roster full of choir boys, which is ironic given their congregations a full of people who do plenty of dirt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-59841750042456162242014-07-14T10:39:16.981-04:002014-07-14T10:39:16.981-04:00Hendo has improved 3pt past 4 years.

Automatically makes need for SG spacing less glaring. You dont just dump a high character defender and mid range shooter like Hendo.<br /><br />Cody, Kemba, Biz, and Jeff Taylor could all improve offensively as well. Add PJ, Noah Vonleh, Marvin, Roberts, and Neal- and you have a much improved shooting squad. <br /><br />Finally, Cliff's new offensive packages and team familiarity around Big Al will help everybody as well. <br /><br />Year 1 was Defense.

The Hornets follow through on a promise by pursuing a top-flight free agent but avoid paying him as Utah said from the outset it would match all offers made to Hayward.

After losing out on Hayward, Lance is the only guy left on the market that will take us from 42 wins to 50+ in my opinion. true he's somewhat of a loose cannon, but he's still young and it's not like he's charging into the stands fighting fans.. he plays hungry and gets after it and is emotional.. he wants to win and I feel like our coaching staff could keep him under control.

Sean May, Brandon Wright, Brendon Haywood, PJ Hairston, Marvin Williams and could be more. I guess they're going to be Utah of the south, you have Jefferson, went after Heywood, and settled for Williams. You won't pay McRoberts, but give Marvin 14mil for 4 points a game, on a bad team. Don't risk your legacy for loyalty MJ, your 2 best players were from Duke, and should've gone after Deng, to make it 3.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-63507403173762188962014-07-14T09:06:30.151-04:002014-07-14T09:06:30.151-04:00look at brian Roberts stats in new Orleans he is s...look at brian Roberts stats in new Orleans he is solid backup Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-11601932153619056792014-07-14T09:03:06.300-04:002014-07-14T09:03:06.300-04:00adding Williams Roberts, Hairston and Vonleah does...adding Williams Roberts, Hairston and Vonleah does make you better, is it a few games? are they a .500 team? who knows..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
