Pargo leaving for Russia

Well, you guys got James Posey, but because of that, you didn't have enough money to sign Pargo. Now he's heading to Russia to play for the Moscow Dynamo.

I'd think this is a pretty big blow for the Hornets. He was one of your most valued bench players, the only place the Hornets really had any sort of weakness, and now he's bolting to Russia too.

Posey is good, but now with Pargo gone, you're lacking on the bench again. Should have made a move for either Pietrus or Maggette in my opinion.

James Posey agrees 4-yr deal.

According to an NBA source, free agent forward James Posey has agreed to a four-year contract with the New Orleans Hornets.

The Celtics [team stats] had been offering three years at the full mid-level exception, but at age 31, Posey admitted he was trying to get the best contract possible while still maintaining a chance to win a championship.

Hornets Trade 1st Round Pick To Portland

What Could've Been

(This is CDR playing in the Arena in 2007)

The Hornets and Trailblazer have agreed to a deal in which the Blazers get the Hornets 1st round pick and the Hornets get cash considerations. The deal was done Tuesday night and the teams have scheduled a trade call with the league for this morning to make the deal official.

I really don't understand this. Why would we give away our first round pick for just cash considerations? You would think that if you were giving away your first round pick you would try to accurie a package that would make it worth your while. This really makes me mad because we could've gotten Chris Douglas-Robert out of Memphis. He would've fit perfect in Byron Scott's offense. So much for that now!
