    Where did you hear that? ESPN boards?

    Never heard of this scenario, must be either something new that's legit or most likely ESPN boards crap.

    It is from Chinese website "Sina", I know they don't have good credibility.

    given the flat out obscurity of arvydas saldkmasdlfmaljfdlakjsd and nok's combo of paul and claxton at the point, I could see some truth to this rumor.

    I correct myself, it is actually from yahoo china and they say it is from another source but did not specify. It basically says this guy is young (25) and quick, good shooter, is what the rockets need and CD is looking at him and mentioned Wesley as the possible trade bait.

    I'd say Sina's credibility is better than most US counterparts.

    I think the hornets are under the cap, which means they could absorb a larger contract in return.

    Why would the Hornets (or anyone else) want to trade for Wesley? :confused:

    Ridiculous trade. This guy has taken 9 shots this year and is shooting 33%, guy has no track record as far as I can see. Can't see this guy helping us more than DW is right now.

    I don't understand why either team would do that deal so I say it's false.

    Macijauskas isn't proven enough to play for JVG and why would the Hornets trade young talent for Wesley? It's not like they are in trouble with the cap that they need to cut salary at the end of the year and AM doesn't make that much to begin with.

    I also have difficulty with this guy's last name. With my first glance of this guy's name, I see "Jack ass" in it.

    A supposedly sweet-shooting Euro that can't get off the bench. Didn't we already trade him away for Wesley?

    I like it. If AM doesn't work out, we can always find a way to get Wesley back. You know JVG's gonna love a one-year-older-Wesley to death.

    If left open, he is indeed one of the deadliest shooters in the world. That's the good news.

    BUT,

    Shooting is the only thing he can do. He's small, weak, very bad defender by NBA standards, can't pass and can't attack the basket so taking his shot off isn't that hard.Sounds good huh?

    I'll say we leave him rotting on Hornets' bench.
