The new Hornets' GM Will Demps just went on the Scott Van Pelt show on ESPN radio and said some very curious things.

He said that Paul did not demand a trade in yesterday's meeting (which we...

I've always been a big advocate of a team keeping their own council. The Bobcats can only worry about the moves the Bobcats can make. Getting Jameer Nelson and Marcin Gortat for the dust chip likely...

The CBS story mentions three teams by name; Orlando, New Jersey and Charlotte. Out of those three teams I think Charlotte is the only team with mutually beneficial pieces to offer in a trade.

What...

Hey all, didn't want you to think I've been ignoring BP, but truth be told I just got back from a trip down to Myrtle Beach last night.

I've had several PM's and e-mails so I thought I would stop...

I disagree with the Dallas fan's assesment.

Yes, Beaubois is talented and better than Augustin, but he's not an expiring contract.

Both Deej and Hendo represent players who New Orleans could...

Personally, I think he'll be traded. Outside of the Gordon/Wilcox trade I haven't heard of the other ones on the table.

I don't have an source on this, but my hunch is the Bobcats will wait for...

I don't know how much more of a step back you can take if you're the Nets... and they would have to take back Okafor too... so I don't think it would be so bad.

That being said, only way I see the...

Even if Denver sent two future 1sts, a 2nd and we sent a 2nd?

Over at RoF we have been rosterbating several backup plans we would love to see happen. We're basing this off an idea that New Orleans wants to just dump cap space, and is openly shopping Chris Paul....

No new developments.

At this point you all know as much as I do. I think anything is possible, but the ball is in the Hornet's court. They know what we have, they know what we're offering at it...

I haven't heard anything new... but if a new GM could openly shop Paul the Bobcats could be in a very, very good position.

Even if we aren't able to land Paul with a trade that a new general...

The NBA are playing with fire right now and need to take a lesson from the NFL. There's a reason football is still the 8,000 lb gorilla when it comes to the national sports landscape, parity.

One...

Not that I'm aware of. My understanding is that Detroit wants expiring contracts and/or unload the bad ones they have. I think is was a huge misstep for Detroit to offer such a large contract to Ben...

I agree. The problem with Detroit is that the players they are trying to unload are those we don't need (Hamilton, Prince, Gordon). Now, if they're willing to move Charlie Villanueva or Rodney...

I believe it was purely about money. Look at the Al Jefferson trade; the NBA is so obsessed with money and cap space that extremely good players can be had for not a lot (2 future 1sts and Kosta...

As far as I know MJ did not kill the Chris Paul trade.

What I don't know was whether the Hornets backed out, or whether the league put a freeze on their transactions due to the Bower firing, and...

We haven't talked on this issue yet because I found out about Bower's part in this later.

From what I can tell the Calderon trade was a deal the Bobcats were settling for because they couldn't...

I never heard what NY offered, but same situation as NJ... they wanted in on the big deal, but didn't have enough pieces.

Aah... that is a chapter to all of this I left out.

There are a lot of holes to it, but I was told early Wednesday morning that New Jersey found out about what the Bobcats were planning to do.
...

I haven't talked to him today... but I would imagine not.

That being said, if Kevin Pritchard is hired, or a new owner... who knows? Pritchard blew up the Blazers when he arrived, and a new owner...
