Tension between Okafor and teammates

[BRHornet45]

Nah. Winning MVP then failing to beat the 8 seed is worse.

LMAO son I'll motha in co-sign that!

[Allanon]

121-63 was pretty rough, but the Bay Area Beating is historical.

[jazzypimp]

son that is true ... Ghazi's wife likes to call Tyson by the name of Mike (Tyson) because he beats that thing with a passion!

Rumor has it that after Tyson plows Ghazi's wife he sits on Ghazi's face and chants "how my ass taste?"

121-63 was historical, too.

son Ghazi is into some weird cuckold fetish ... he enjoys sitting at the edge of the bed watching his wife get plowed and cheering them on. sick, sick man

Are you saying he liked to stare deep into Tysons brown eye?

[The Franchise]

If you're right, that's even worse.

You know you got problems when a guy fresh off the world beating Bobcats doesn't want to be on your team.

It is pretty sad, but he just isn't putting any effort towards bonding with his teammates. He says it's because of his foot, but that has no effect on being around, and showing support for your team until you can play. He is pretty much saying the Hornets with his at ude.

son his fetish with Tyson is really bizarre.

[redzero]

1 and 8 are just numbers when they apply to my team, tool.

Fixed for accuracy.

[Shank]

Way to stay on-point.

Losing an argument? Bring up the Mavs!

Yup, it just doesn't make any sense to me. Okafur has always been that one blue-collar dude you could rely upon. That's been his biggest asset...never seemed like the Superstar Hollywood or prima donna type.

I don't quite understand what's up with this.

Who's even in an argument?

[Findog]

All kidding aside, I think 121-63 have a chance to rebound this year after losing to the Nuggets in the first round.

Well...would you want to play for 121-63 when you know the organization and George Shinn are not ultimately committing to spending the money necessary to win? They tried to trade Chandler for spares before they lucked into Okafor.

[Shank]

A lot of the magazines I'm reading have 121-63 somewhere around 7th in the West. But if Okafor's not in the fold, then 121-63 might have a hard time making the playoffs.

It's just going to depend on their depth. Two years ago 121-63 finished 2nd in the West bc of the contributions they got from Peja, among others. But he's regressed. Somebody besides West and CP3 is going to have to step up if 121-63 wants to return to the upper echelon of the West.

I think he's just going through what I'd term "the clipper effect", where you slowly stop caring about basketball, teammates, .. life..

It's probably not out of the realm of possibility he just plain doesn't care for Chris Paul either.

Are you saying that playing for 121-63 is like Bill Murray in Lost in Translation?

That was a fluke season

son your ignorance is comical lol ... you do realize that they took on even more money with Okafor than they would have with keeping Chandler right? you do realize that the Hornets will have one of the highest payrolls this season?

Peja - $14.2M
Paul - $13.5M
Okafor - $10.5M
West - $9.2M
Peterson - $6.2M
Posey - $6.0M
Rest of the scrubs - $14M+

son Shinn is committed to winning and has proven that over the last 3 years. They got SCREWED with the ridiculous Peja signing which is now strangle holding them from spending that $14-15M on other key players. We aren't blessed to have a CELEBRITY BILLIONAIRE owner like you guys are (hence why the Mavericks are even relevant in the first place). For the smallest market in the NBA, we are doing just fine.

[BRHornet45]

son its funny how you say our 56 win season two years ago was a fluke ... last year we won 49 games whenever our season was full of injuries. how do you explain us winning 49 games whenever we didn't have Tyson or Peja for nearly half the season? guess that was a fluke too.

Hey man, I'm not hating on 121-63. I'm just saying that historically Shinn has tried to cut corners.

[Iceman101]

Now you guys have Okafor, good luck with that

[BRHornet45]

Hey man, I'm not hating on 121-63. I'm just saying that historically Shinn has tried to cut corners.

well you're right about that. Shinn was a well known cheapskate in Charlotte and in his first few seasons here. However, his at ude has changed over the last 3 or 4 years.

Regardless of how ty the Peja contract worked out, he still dished out a huge 5 year, $64M deal for him .... that kind of contract was unheard of for Shinn to do in the past. He also acquired Chandler's big contract from Chicago, resigned D West to a big deal, etc. Same thing with the Posey signing last season and resigning Paul to the huge extension... back in the Charlotte days, Shinn always let his talent go the moment they could demand top dollar.

At least its not as bad as signing Dampier to a 75 million dollar contract, at least Peja used to be good, as opposed to Erica
