    Although i didn't want him here, it was a good deal. He is dangerous for the opposing team but also his own.

    Wowwww, what a steal. In no way is Parsons who is 2 years older worth 18 million more. For that price, i kinda do wish morey tried nabbing him, i bet because were a contender we could have gotten him for around 24 million or something. Total steal for Hornets.

    Only 9 million a year?? I would've signed him over Ariza at that price!!! Love it though since I will follow the Hornets since they are back in Charlotte again.

    WOW, great deal for the Hornets!

    btw, they STILL have cap room to bid on Boozer

    Not taking chances on any players that could upset our primadonna stars I reckon..I also don't think Lance would come and a be a third option here. In Charlotte, he's arguably #1 but probably #2 with Big Al, Lance and Kemba.

    Stephenson is a clown and Pacers got more media exposure than the Wizards

    It really does not mean Lance is so much better than Trevor.

    You know New Orleans is the Pelicans, not the Hornets? ;)

    He just signed for MJ

    Crash, you made the same mistake I did....

    Charlotte Hornets(Charlotte Bobcats) and New Orleans Pelicans(formerly NO Hornets) are 2 different ballclubs

    Jrue, Tyreke,Davis and Asik are with New Orleans

    Kemba, Kidd-Gilchrist, Al Jefferson, Jeffrey Taylor and Stephenson are with the Charlotte Hornets

    That is a steal at that price. Team option after 2 years is a great deal for the Hornets. Stephenson is talented, he just needs to control himself, maybe MJ will make him shut up.

    And Indiana is going to really hurt from this

    Charlotte ****ed over Utah, Indiana and Dallas long term, and us short term, and came out smelling like roses.

    Bravo Michael, Bravo

    Man I was intrigued with him. He could've been the playmaker we really need. Starting PG or backup SG and SF - easily 30 minutes a night. Emotional leader, pesky defender. I would've easily offered him 10 million a year when we still had that left (after Ariza and Parsons).

    But oh well, there is a reason I am not a GM - in Morey I trust, I guess.
