Message from Rod Higgins

I am very disappointed as well but I do not understand the Higgins hate at all.

This is what a person in his position does. He communicates. I truly appreciate the letter.

What would you have him do, go crawl in a corner and cry about it? Instead he says we are going to do the best we can with the option that we have been given.

Bitch about Stern, the NBA, or New Orleans...but don't bitch about one of the guys who are as hurt as we are by this whole thing.

Really we should not be too upset with Benson. He saved Stern's ass by taking the NO team from the league. But if Stern feels he owe Benson some sidebar compensation, then where is Jordan comp. He saved the league from an idiot owner in Bob Johnson after handing him the team. Jordan brought the team using some of his own money and has been taking shots at his rep ever since. And let's not bring up what he has done as a player. Where''s MJ reparations.

Im pretty sure Stern had everything to do with the Hornets getting the #1 pick. Its pretty obvious.

Saying that, we are still going to get a great player at #2. I wanted Davis, but MKG, Barnes, Beal, Robinson, etc...all have potential to become all stars for years to come.

I like MKG because he could do all the things Gerald Wallace did for us.
I like Beal because he can shoot lights out
I like Barnes bc I think hes going to average 20+ ppg and become an all star for years to come.
I like Robinson bc hes tough, can do it all for a PF, and is still getting better.

THe list adds on. Anthony Davis wasnt the only all star from this class. We just gotta be smart and scout the heck out of these guys from here until June 28.
