Trade Buzz swirling around listless Hornets

[Thunder Dan]

Guess I touched a nerve.....

and that last line is laughable.

no it's just annoying to hear every joe schmo off the street who doesn't know anything just revert to 2010. 2010 has nothing to do with the Hornets not being able to pay their bills.

[Muser]

Even i'm getting pissed off about the 2010 talk, just let the damn season play out.

if this was a Family Feud question today

'It is a bit of an unfortunate story. Two years ago, the _______ were among the league's elite'

The Spurs would be the #1 answer

owned.

I never said he should be writing about 2010. I just said that there were better topics available for someone writing for the Cleveland fan base. You're the one who has taken this so seriously and now has resorted to personal insults. So sensitive.

So should the Cavs beat writer only write about the impending free agency of Lebron James? He should forget that the Cavs are one of the very few teams in the league who want to add payroll this season? I think the Hornets looking to dump salary has alot to do with the Cavs. He reported the same thing last year about the Suns and that affected the Cavs as they got Shaq for Ben Wallace.

Yeah I agree.....it's hard to find news about 2010 free agency these days.

[Mel_13]

why do people always write Cav's? It's Cavs or Cavs' and there is no singular Cav. You can't abbreviate a singular Cavalier when you are talking about a team of individuals

It's Cavs, Cavs' if you are showing possession of something like their beat writer. It's my pet peeve along with people who spell lose "loose"

What part of "I never said he should be writing about 2010" wasn't clear?

if Brian Windhorst wants to sell papers in Cleveland, he won't be writing articles about what the Cavs will be if Lebron James would leave. I think it's fairly obvious. I don't think brian's target audience wants to read more articles about the possibility of Lebron leaving. Much like the NYC audience don't want to read articles about him staying in Cleveland, and the national media just don't want to hear about it period

See what I'm saying? Brian works for the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Plain Dealer is read by people who live in Cleveland. Most Cavs fans live in and around Cleveland. That means that the people who read Brian's articles are Cavs fans. This is why he writes articles: for Cavs fans to read regarding the Cavs. He doesn't write for New York, but if he did, he would write about possible scenarios for Lebron coming to play for the Knicks. He would be talking about how they might trade Eddy Curry. But the Hornets wanting to dump salary affects the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS, which is why he writes it for Cavs fan who may be interested in the CAVS adding a new player. The article is also newsworthy for the other markets looking for players this season.

One last time. I never said he should be writing about 2010.

well then what the are you even comparing? Are you saying the Horents now are better off that the Cavs if Lebron leaves? What even makes you bring that up as an argument? What does that have to do with anything? The fact is, we do have Lebron James, therefore we are in a better situation than most teams in the league. Lebron is still on our roster which makes us a better situation than the Hornets. You making that stupid argument is like me retorting with: well the Cavs without Lebron suck, but the Hornets without Chris Paul suck more or the Spurs without Duncan, Parker and Ginobli are a franchise It's a bunch of nonsense

Wow.

Allow me to explain.

You posted an article by a Cleveland writer that details the current troubles of the Hornets. As I said earlier, I find considerable irony both in the article and in the fact that you found it worthy of sharing here. So I took a jab by saying a line in the article could describe the Cavs two years from now. To the extent that any argument exists, it is all yours. I just found considerable irony in that part of the article, so I made fun of it. You've taken the whole thing way too seriously.

so in 2 years the Cavs owner will be dying of cancer and broke? that's a bold prediction seeing as he is one of the wealthiest owners in the NBA and by all account rather healthy

Again, wow.

You're engaging in a one-man argument. I'm not making any such case.

It

was

a

joke.

[redzero]

Chris Paul: 3 years left on his contract.
LeBron James: 1 year left on his contract.

Thunder Dan, I think you should be more concerned with your own franchise player instead of the Hornets'.

why? We are going to get your best players this year and give you nothing for them, and you will like it!

Sure you will.

Anyway, what jersey would look best on LeBron next year? I'm thinking Lakers or Bulls.

DuncanOWNSKobe said the same last year, which is why JJ Hickson is such a big name around here. When everything shaked out, his Suns didn't even get JJ Hickson, they got Ben Wallace for Shaq

and 2010 smack, really original

[sefant77]

Why its important how rich is the owner?

When James left it will be pretty empty in Clevelands arena because not many ppl will pay a lot to see Mo Williams, Tingeltangel or Gibson fighting for #8...

Uh i forgot Cleveland is such a nice city, even without James very nice to catch free agents...
