Since BK has put together a very talented,young, and promising team. He can no longer be consider the worst GM. I give you whoever in the blue hell the Hornets GM is.

[Diesel]

I disagree.

Simmons was playing behind West and Chandler...Not to mention that everybody is high on Hilton Armstrong and Julian Wright. Simmons just didn't find a spot.

But getting Wesley when you have CP3 and Bobby Jackson says one thing... They needed a shooter who can allow CP3 to move to OG.

Salim Stoudamire would have been just right for them.

I would have loved to get Simmons. Another year and he could be a stud.

That doesn't mean you just give away a young PF for free.

I like Simmons also and I believe he's worth more than they traded him for, but we've given up on Batista, used Diaw as a throw in...soon enough we're likely going to have to "give up on" somebody because of our contract situations.

In light of NO getting Chandler FOR NOTHING, a VERY good fit for them, while this is a poor move, it isn't a substantial one and their drafting has been 1000x better given their draft position.

There's a big difference in giving minutes to Horford vs. giving minutes to whomever the Hornets' 4th big is.

[Packfill]

They must really think Simmons won't develop. That said, with the way West and Chandler have played Simmons never would have been more then a back-up there anyway.

I am guessing the trade means Jackson is on the outs or they can't rely on him being healthy.

Wesley will be released for cap space.

Seriously, when trading for a Cleveland PG you know you aren't getting anything on the floor. Look elsewhere to see why they might have done this deal.

[Packfill]

Wow. Then the Hornets got totally hosed or Simmons is trash.

[Diesel]

The truth of the matter is that Simmons haven't really showed much on this level. Yes, he was a college stud... But in the pros, nothing yet.

it was really the case of trading for Hope. Cleveland hoped that they got a guy who can be a good big (in case they lose Anderson).

N.O. Hope that they got a guy who can be counted on for 3 pters to open up their offense.

The truth is that Simmons might not pan out and Wesley might not having anything left...

But there's still hope!

[DJ_Money]

The truth is that Wesley is going to be cut to save money...

I'm sorry, but trading a Simmons to save a meager $1.69 million is inexcusable.

The Hornets have a history of trading solely for finances.

Simmons said earlier this week that he had been struggling to get into shape after an ankle injury prevented him from working out most of the summer. That injury sidelined him from playing on the Hornets' summer league team.

---

When there's a player in N.O. that's not working out in the summer, he's traded!

About the 1.6 Million. IF it means that N.O. can resign PJ Brown, I think it might not be a bad thing!

[Catapult]

The same PJ Brown the traded a year ago to Bulls?

[Diesel]

Yeah.. That trade that got them Tyson Chandler...

They can probably get that same PJ Brown for the vet min.

If I am signing for the minimum, I am signing with the Suns, not the Hornets.

[capstone21]

The only PJ signs there is because that is where he is from. However, I do agree if I was him I would be signing with a team where he has a chance to play and win a championship.

[capstone21]

No matter what the worst GM will always be Isiah Thomas. I can't think of anyone who remotely comes close to as poor a manager as him.

[TheDude]

omg, has wesley done anything since like 1987? good lord...that's like basically saying "uh, yeah we're gonna go ahead and just drop this one guy"...
