sons I found this on another board. looks good to me. get it done Hornets

Okay…I think I’ve found a way to fix the Hornets…keep them competative this year and build for the future.
Inspired by a report from the Sacramento Bee newspaper and from trade someone sent me from www.hornetsreport.com I’ve come up with the following scenarios:
Three trades:
TRADE #1:
Peja Stojakovic & Bobby Brown to the Los Angeles Lakers
Luke Walton, Sasha Vujacic & Adam Morrison to the New Orleans Hornets
WHY: The Lakers are reportedly looking for better outside shooting and another point guard. Peja could finish his career with a chance for a ring and Bobby Brown would take minutes from Jordan Farmar. The Hornets would get three wing players because they desperately need wings who can play. Vujacic would automatically start at shooting guard and Walton/Morrison can easily break the Hornets rotation at small forward. Morrison also has an expiring $6 million dollar contract which would help the Hornets get under the luxury tax. Morrison could be re-signed next season (at the veteran minimum) if he plays well.
TRADE #2: (as reported in the Sacramento Bee)
Emeka Okafor to the Sacramento Kings
Kenny Thomas to the New Orleans Hornets
WHY: I’ve been saying for weeks that Okafor and West are too much alike and cannot play in the same line-up. Also, I don’t think Okafor is tough enough for West and has not endeared himself to the team. Okafor goes to a Kings team still searching for a quality big man (Spencer Hawes still looks shakey). The Hornets get an $8 million dollar expiring contract which gets them further under the luxury tax and helps free up some money for free agency in the summer 2010. Yes, the Hornets would have to play the remainder of the season with Sean Marks, Hilton Armstrong and Darius Songaila at center but the three should be servicable enough to stay conpetative.
TRADE #3:
Julian Wright and Devin Brown to the Portland Trail Blazers
Rudy Fernandez and a future 2nd round pick to the New Orleans Hornets
WHY: Both Wright and Fernandez are young players in need of change. I was at the Hornets/Portland game Friday night and Fernandez seemed to be sulking the entire game. Wright is one of my favortie all time Hornets players because he’s such a great guy but he needs a fresh start. Both of these guys are super talented and could flourish in new systems. Fernandez would start immediately at small forward for the Hornets. Juju would provide energy and solid defense at four positions for the Blazers…Brown gives a playoff team another quality veteran in the back court.
Fletcher’s Revamped 2009-2010 Roster:
1. Chris Paul
2. Sasha Vujacic
3. Rudy Fernandez
4. David West
5. Sean Marks
Bench:
Darren Collison, Marcus Thornton, Luke Walton, James Posey, Adam Morrison, Darius Songaila, Hilton Armstrong, Ike Diogu, Morris Peterson
Personally….if the Hornets could magically make this happen…I’d be very impressed.
With Paul healthy this team could realistically compete for a playoff spot. If they fall short of the post season you’ve at least got young wing players to run with Paul for the next few years and then the team could pick-up one of three young centers in the NBA Draft Lottery next June (Greg Monroe of Georgetown, Cole Aldrich from University of Kansas or Donatas Motiejunas of Lithuania).

son that is the only trade mentioned that seems to be a stretch. I don't see how they could work that one out.
What's wrong with the Hornets?
They've been perfectly and thoroughly entertaining this season.
son they still aren't as entertaining as those Detroit Lions though. god bless
What is a Detroit Lion? Never heard of it.
Vujacic the Savior
Chris Paul out indefinitely

son of a mother ing ass
I'd much rather trade West's lazy ass than I would trade Okafor's slightly less lazy ass.
Just tank and hope for a good pick.
Cook (expiring) , Andersen and Dorsey (non guaranteed) for Okafor
gogo
Can you really fix the Whornets though? Isn't that like trying to fix AIDS?
There's nothing actually wrong with the Hornets. They're just a below average basketball team.
When people say there's something wrong, it implies this team was expected to do something this year.... no, no they weren't.
wow, someone's been busy on the NBA video games.
Why is Paul out indefinitely if the MRI shows no structural damage? Something smells fishy...

Why on earth would the Lakers pull the trigger on that trade? Sure they need a shooter, but Peja can't hit these days in New Orleans. You think he'll heal up and get focused when he'll be living and working within driving distance of Vivid's studios?
Because he needs time to find a team that's willing to trade for him.
Why would Paul need to LOOK for a team that will trade for him? Think before you post stupid like this.Because he needs time to find a team that's willing to trade for him.
Because with everyone penny-pinching, it may not be as easy as you think for someone willing to take on a $14 (I believe) salary, regardless of the player. So you.
Terrible idea. This is what I fear that the Hornets will try to do. They aren't in position to reload right now.
I explained what the Hornets should do yesterday in another thread:
OTOH, this [Okafor for the Kings] would be a very good trade for the Hornets. If they can somehow dump Okafor and Posey for contracts that expire in 11 and trade West for some real talent (West still has the reputation, even though he's not really that good any more) and stop acquiring overpaid role-players for mid-level contracts (Posey, Mo Pete, etc.) and don't re-sign the crap they have there (Armstrong, Marks, Diogu, etc.), they can be in a brilliant place to rebuild in the Summer of 2011.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I trust their FO to do this.
This is honestly one of the worst pieces I have read in a long time.
