hmm.... I wouldn't say Bobby Jackson is nothing

and yes the hornets get better but I still don't see them as a serious contender at least for this year

Great move by the Hornets. I respect their effort this season on all angles of the game.

WOW

Hornets get tougher and more veteran experience. Wells is an underrated guy because of his attitude and health, he's an undersized Patterson-type guy who can grab 12 rebounds and score 20 points in limited time...

I saw the Hornets play 3-4 times in the first month and put $5 on them at 50:1 to win it all. Now they're 12:1...That team matches up either big or small...Paul for MVP

Definitely don't sleep on the Hornets, that team came out of nowhere and is definitely a contender. If teams underestimate them even though they've got the best record in the west, they could be in for a rude awakening.

He's my MVP pick as well.

Getting Bonzi surely was a good move, but Mike James...don't know how much you guys know about this guy's ego/attitude, but looking back at his time with the Raptors, I'd say the Hornets fans will have a lot of fun watching interviews of him telling the media it's a shame that the 2nd coming of Michael Jordan has to rot on the bench behind a nice role player like Chris Paul :lol:

Hornets definitely won talent-wise here, but they also acquired two pretty difficult characters for a (at least as far as I know) great character guy.
