I think its because he stated go ahead and say my sources suck!! LOL I was expecting at least one naysayer, but I guess everyone just wants JL3 to do well, somewhere other than Houston.
Somewhere on a NO hornets BBS, they are saying "John Lucas III makes the game winning shot in game 7 of the western conference finals against Houston"
How did they're bbs found out about the trade?? did they get inside info from they FO or they read is from this site??
I may be wrong, but hasn't NBAHOU713 given us (accurate) scoops in the past? I think that's why people aren't questioning him.
I think he did reveal something in the past that was true so that lent him some credibility. also i think everyone wants to get rid of jl3 and so everyone wants to believe this to be true. the rockets have used the hornets a lot lately, to dump moochie's contract and to get snyder for nothing (course that one is a wash seeing how he hardly played here) but even if its just for a pick (i doubt its cash) it creates some room on the roster
Houston Trade Breakdown Outgoing John Lucas 5-11 PG from Oklahoma State 3.3 ppg, 0.8 rpg, 0.7 apg in 8.2 minutes Incoming A Bag of Peanuts 13 cm Bag from China (Foreign) 1.7 salt per gram, 0.9 nuts per gram, 0.4 calcium per gram Change in team outlook: +1.7 salt per gram, +0.9 nuts per gram, and + 0.4 cpg. New Orleans Trade Breakdown A Bag of Peanuts 13 cm Bag from China (Foreign) 1.7 salt per gram, 0.9 nuts per gram, 0.4 calcium per gram Change in team outlook: +1.7 salt per gram, +0.9 nuts per gram, and + 0.4 cpg. Incoming John Lucas 5-11 PG from Oklahoma State 3.3 ppg, 0.8 rpg, 0.7 apg in 8.2 minutes Change in team outlook: -1.7 salt per gram, -0.9 nuts per gram, and -0.4 cpg. Successful Scenario Due to Houston and New Orleans being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Houston and New Orleans had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. --------------- I'm hungry. Let's get some peanuts!
I am pretty sure tmac's doctor told him to cut down on the sodium so how does this trade even help us???
It's hard to doubt this news, mainly because it's Jon Lucas III, lol. It's not like we're talking about Yao heading over to the hornets. thanks for the scoop nbahou
It's true that he has come through in the past, but I've also seen him bashed mercilessly in the past despite that. Anyway, glad to see people are coming around to him. I guess it also helps that we all know Morey is trying to move Lucas III anyway, and on top of that, it's not a big move and so isn't all that difficult to believe.
