Re: Hornets exploring trade options?
The only two players I can see the Hornets moving is Pargo or Butler. A team in search of an expiring contract or 3-point shooter would take one of them. I just don't see anyone taking B Jax or Marcus and hopefully we're not giving up on Julian so soon.

Re: Hornets exploring trade options?
it would be news if they weren't...Hard to see what they can give up though.I guess maybe someone would want Hilton Armstrong,but other than that do the hornets have anything of value to trade?It looks like they'll have a late pick and they won't be able to take on a big contract.

They'd better not. Pargo and Butler are probably the main subjects.

Re: Hornets exploring trade options?
wont get much for either one. Pargo can help this team. On some nights the guy can light it up!

The same thing can be said for Butler, but I think the Hornets are looking for a more consistent scorer.

Well I sure wish he would. Dude hasn't lit up anything (court wise anyway) in a pretty good while now.

I agree. I hate seeing these guys so inconsistent as of late because we know what they're capable of bringing.

Exactly. I know I've said before I'm a big fan of Butler and I'll always be a fan even if he's traded to another team. But the truth is right now he's not helping the team. I never was big on Pargo and I couldn't understand why we re-signed him. He's too selfish with the ball.

Re: Hornets exploring trade options?
Pargo used to be wildly inconsistent...this year he's been perfectly consistent and that hasn't been a good thing.
Actually I was looking at the Hornets team stats the other day.Paul accounts for over half of the teams assists per game and one quarter of their TO's per game.Noone else on this team is capable of creating anything.A backup point guard is the obvious target,but that's something in very short supply.I think they should take a flier with someone like Darius Washington or that guy I can't remember from the D league.You go out looking to trade for a decent backup point you're going to get jacked...Maybe Damon Stoudamire will get bought,but he sucks too.

Well that's because he's in that Bobby Jackson mold. Either a SG in a PG body or a shooting PG. I like him for almost the same reason I like Rasual, they can light it up at times. And if they get rid of them, who will they get to replace them that can light it up. Especially if heaven forbids Peja or Mo go down for any reason. Not only could they use someone that can light it up but someone who can slash. Julian can slash but how ready is he?

Julian is not ready and need time to develop. Every year I want Byron to give the rookies a chance, I can actually see why he's taking his time with Julian. He's very indecisive at times on whether to shoot or not. In preseason I remember complimenting him on his confidence, but now he's seems to lack confidence. This can only be fixed with playing time, because I see a lot of potential in him.
