    Would you welcome a reunion? Or would Landry be redundant now?

    He won't get any playing time.

    Plus Patterson is better.

    The only player I would welcome a reunion with is Yao coming out of retirement.

    I think the hornets will re-sign him simply due to the fact they only have 5 players under contract.

    He either ends up backing up David West or taking his job if West leaves.

    Luis Scola is better.

    man, the tune sure has changed on Carl. He used to be one of the most loved if not THE most loved player on the team. He's 3 years younger than scola, and I still think he's better than Pat (for now). He would make scola tradeable.

    still, NO will probably offer him the most.

    It's not that we hate Landry. He just doesn't make sense to be on the team in the way it is right now. Patterson is a PF of the future. I'd rather him get more playing time to get better.

    The Hornets will resign him real quick. David West might not be completely healthy come December as well. The Rockets could always trade for him at a later date if they have to deplete their roster in trades. He could be had in the near future if they had a need for a PF.

    When David West signs with the Pacers, the Hornets will almost immediately overpay Landry to convince CP3 to stay.

    If we cut ties with Jordan Hill or trade him I could see room for Carl off the bench But I highly doubt he would take the kind of Money Morey will offer.

    Carl is a border line MLE player. I don't think we will get the kind of pay day Paul Milsap got from the Jazz, which is over 7 mil a year.

    David West's biggest suitor has been rumored to be New Jersey. Look for West to either be a Net or stay with CP3 in New Orleans. Seeing as though him and CP3 are good friends and teamates, look at whatever decision West makes as a good indicator of what CP3 plans on doing come next offseason.

    Their beat reporter Mike Wells said they would likely pursue a stretch 4 who could also play in the post.

    He said they will be after West, Landry, and Nene in FA and would look at trade for Paul Millsap.

    Good for them. This is one of the strongest free agency periods I have seen for Solid Power forwards in a while.

    Landry is from that general area so he may be motivated to sign there.

    Scola for Granger.

    ..Then I would like to sign the Mandry to have the same role he did his last year with us.

    They should be looking to trade for Luis Scola. The guy is tailor made for that team, he can stretch the floor, can score in the low post, and can be an option to go to late in games.

    A trade of Luis Scola for Paul George and James Posey(expiring) should get it done!

    Scola is tradeable now. Between Hayes, Patterson, Hill, and our other 633 power forwards, we'd be able to cover the position.
