DJ sucks but Lopez isn't exactly the second coming of Wilt Chamberlain. I wouldn't even want Lopez and his 6 rpg along with his crappy defense. We should have drafted Slam's boy Roy Hibbert.


Hibbert is pure 20/20 hindsight, as most felt he would struggle at this level. Congrats to him for being a better player, and to Slam for recognizing his potential.

I think Lopez will come out of his funk. I'd prefer we make a deal for him as I say he needs a change of scenery! :lol: Fact is, Jersey will not move him. His season last year was no mirage. They are having trouble getting the pieces to fit there. Brook is a quality player..no all-star but a solid 5.

So, I want to say adios to Larry, and thank him for just 2 things; helping to get us to the playoffs, and for helping teach some fundamentals to the team. Otherwise, your draft decisions, game coaching, player management and trade-crazy approach all go into the hell-hole crapper where they came from. Go home and try to lay some lumber with that young wife. Ho, ho, ho...
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

LB legitimized our franchise and did what no one before him was capable of--picking a direction and sticking to it. Enjoy retirement, Mr. Brown, you've earned it.

Always appreciate a good coach. They are hard to come by these days.

We had Eddie Jordan last year. You guys experienced Sam Vincent.

The list goes on.

Best of luck with Silas as the new head coach!

Wow a fan from another team who not only wasn't trolling, but was respectable :D

In other news I appreciate Larry Brown for slowing down the Bobcats offensive game so much that I run it in X4 fast forward.... literally....
