3 years for $15 Million sounds like a pretty reasonable offer for Mo-Pete, good signing if the Raptors don't match. There's some bad blood between Peterson and the Raptors, so I don't think they want him back.

With lynch, wesley and armstrong getting older, and steve smith being a free agent, its good to see the hornets aquire some youth in j.r smith and now mo pete.
Although i really dont like mo pete, or his game, hes probably their only decently sized shooting guard who can start straight away. Hopefully he can split the time with JR and play well. I'd like to see Wesley eventually moved back to point guard, off the bench as he gets older, he'd be a good spark.
Can anyone remember how long of a contract Armstrong signed?

Armstrong signed a 4-year deal last offseason I believe. As for Mo-Pete, he'll be a decent SG for the Hornets, I fully expect Tim Pickett to be his backup over J.R. Smith this year. Smith isn't ready to play big minutes yet, Pickett is ready to contribute right away.

No, Armstrong was signed to a 2 year deal. This is the last year of the deal.

Another good pick up for the Hornets. Maybe he can start instead of Mash. I hate Mashburn.

I think a lot of NO fans hate Mash. The Mo Pete signing is a good one. I think he would fit in well. Let's hope Toronto doesn't match.

I don't think they will. They weren't on good terms from what I believe.

As a TO fan I don't know what are you talking about, they are on fine terms and want to keep him. Toronto wont match though, cause its too much money. 5 mil is too much for a backup and that is all he could be in Toronto with Rose and Carter.
He is a fine pickup though for NO, he can start for them. He is known to be inconsistent on offense, but he can light it up sometimes and his defense is consistent and solid.

It might depend of Carter's future:

Toronto's decision on whether to match reportedly depends on its ability to trade Vince Carter. The Raptors would be more likely to match if they get rid of Carter, who has asked to be traded.

With or without Carter it sure was a good deal... The Hornets are starting to build a bench that can really help!
Next step... Get rid of Mashburn and Traylor!

Earlier this month, the Hornets signed restricted free agent Morris Peterson, who plays shooting guard and small forward, to an offer sheet. The Hornets are waiting to see if the Toronto Raptors will match their offer. Toronto general manager Rob Babcock said a decision will be made by team's the board of directors by Friday as to whether the Raptors will match the offer sheet the Hornets extended to Peterson.
Babcock said he will recommend the board to match the three-year, $15 million offer. If Toronto does match the offer, the Hornets are likely to pursue another free agent who can play shooting guard and small forward.
Hornets general manager Allan Bristow said the Hornets will make a decision next month on whether to re-sign Alexander, who continues to recover from his injury.
