I wouldn't be surprised, now that you mention it. But Nene was the big name in this year's market and he was long-term no scaling at 13m a year.

the only Hibbert trade I'd consider is Howard.

Really Howard is the only player you would trade Hibbert for.

Hibbert for Nash and Gortat would solve many issues:

- upgrade at the point
- athletic and cheap center
- big name player with accompanying media attention and more seats filled
- better bench
- Collison can grow

We just have to make sure we are a contender when Gortat can opt out. Keep the cheap stereotyping nationality jokes out of it - Scoot

I think that trade would be worse in the long run, unless Hibbert definitely signs with another team.

Id be willing to give up Hibbert/Collison for Rondo

I just heard on the local radio station here in Los Angeles you guys are trading for Jamal Crawford. The guy didn't say for who but he said it will get done.

He was a former assistant head coach of the Hornets and he now does radio.

wonder what Washington wants for McGee and the other Crawford?

a Jamal Crawford deal would allow George Hill to start at point with Crawford and Collison being the second unit. that gets around the problem noted by the star that currently we don't have a backup two if Hill starts at one.
