Thats all I know, friend of mine IMed me saying on 29 they said he signed with New Orleans.
That's good to hear if it's true. I was wondering why he didn't have a spot in the NBA.
They did have a free roster spot, and a need for a swingman wih Peja and Jackson out for awhile.
Good for Devin.
Guess he got kicked out of the Lifetime Fitness Pickup League.
if the man would have rehabbed hard would the end been the same.
Pop is smart but is Devin that lazy?
I'm a big Devin fan but how long do you want to bet until he gets cut again? :lol
Always have a soft spot for Devin after the effort he gave in 2004 against the 4 HOF and PJ led Lakers team. One of the few who stood up and was counted when the going got tough.
Eh, he could stick around for awhile. Coach Scott prefers effort on the floor over most anything else, so if Devin shows that he could be kept as insurance the rest of the season. Brown makes more sense to a team with playoff aspirations then a guy like Dijon Thompson or Kelenna Azubuike.
Good news! I am happy Devin will be playing again. :)
It's a great oportunity for Devin Brown, Hornets are very thin at SG. Now, it's up to him to show that he is still a nba player.
Just yesterday morning I was just thinking about Devin and where he had wound up. Good to hear he gets another chance. Hopefully he makes the most of it.
Good for Devin.....and to all the HATERS.
At least Devin has the opportunity and is good enough to get a call from the NBA.......Yall cant shoot ball worth a fuck and wouldnt get a call from a city league team.
Basically Devin > Non basketball playin, working 9-5 ass hats
Have a Merry Christamas!!!!
He turned down several offers for millions overseas in the last few months because he thought he'd get back to the NBA. I'm happy for him. Hopefully he works hard and sticks.
Has this been confirmed anywhere?
If true, Devin will be starting before long.
turned down millions? Maybe he's crazy.Quote:

Devin does not have a big name in Europe.
(like Maciauskas has, who now gets 2.8 million $ / year and now is the highest payed player in Europe)
Not $2M per year. $2M over two years from both Maccabi and Eldo Napoli. It's just hearsay, but that's what I was told.

Maybe he'll stick this time. I hope so.Quote:

Sitting around on the bench or worse, waiting for the phone to ring, isn't worth as much as getting game experience and more exposure.
hes nowhere to be found on their roster. hes not in the league right now. and i watch nba tv all day and i never saw the news about it. who knows,maybe he did sign and just hasnt made his appearence yet,but as far as i know this isnt true
I don't think he's officially signed either. I can't find it anywhere.Quote:

It's not a huge signing, so it will probably show up on nba.com or USA Today first, or check out a Hornets board.

Being the resident co Spurs/Hornets fan I have to say I have been advocating this signing most of the season. I've thought for a while that he would fit nicely and is needed. Unfortunately I haven't seen anything to indicate that he has signed. THe Hornets site is not reporting it nor is RealGM or anything. THe local media is horrible with the split city situation so the internet is usually the best source.
I apologize for posting this without making sure it was confirmed, i don;t want to look like Jimcs with this.
Kori if you want to delete, thats totally cool, once again, I apologize.
You attributed well enough. If that's what you saw/heard, you've done what you should.
Well I was just going off a friend saying "Hear on KABB"
Should've done due diligence and looked around, I know Kori and others hate it when misinformation is posted, ala "Charles Oakleys been signed".
Doh. I'll label it a rumor.
Does make a lot of sense though. As hoaxes go, it would be a good one.

Hornets Sign Devin Brown
Veteran Guard Brings Depth to Backcourt
December 22, 2006
OKLAHOMA CITY - The New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets announced today that they have signed free agent guard Devin Brown.
(Read Devin Brown's bio)
“Devin is a proven NBA player and he’ll help strengthen our backcourt with his ability to play both the shooting guard and the small forward positions,” said Hornets General Manager Jeff Bower. “He will be able to come in and fill some of the void left by the injuries to Bobby Jackson, Peja Stojakovic and David West.”
Brown (6-5, 220) is a four-year NBA veteran, holding career averages of 6.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 216 games while a member of the Denver Nuggets, San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz.
The undrafted product of the University of Texas-San Antonio appeared in 81 of 82 games (14 starts) and played in a career-high 21.1 minutes for the Utah Jazz during the 2005-06 season, averaging a career-high 7.5 points along with 2.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists. Brown scored in double figures 24 times on the season, including two 20+ point games. He averaged 7.4 points per game for San Antonio in 2004-05 to help the Spurs win the NBA championship.
Good thing the Spurs could use a solidly built small forward who can rebound and guard players like Bonzi Wells :pctoss
Having a bunch of soft jumpshooters is what this team needs. Is Hubert Davis or Dell Curry available?
let me begin to remeber Steven Jacson
