Hornets report: Notes, quotes

--The idea behind the team holding training camp in New Orleans came about mainly because Hornets' brass suspected it could help the team build unity. So far, the results have been favorable.

The Hornets have added seven new players to the roster since the end of last season, and have 10 players who weren't in training camp last season. The early indication is that the bonding is indeed taking place with the team being together exclusively in New Orleans.

"We all hang out together all the time," said Rasual Butler, the team's second-year forward. "Either guys are going out to eat together or playing cards together. Everybody likes each other. We're much further ahead than when I was here last year."

--New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin stopped by the team's training camp during the first week of practices at New Orleans Arena and, at coach Byron Scott's request, spoke to the team.

"He even gave them a number to reach win-wise," Scott said. "I was like, 'Come on, my man. You can't be giving out that type of number. That's a high number.' It was like 50."

QUOTE TO NOTE
"This is the hardest training camp I've ever been in. Maybe because I'm getting old." -- Bobby Jackson, the Hornets' 33-year-old guard, on his first ever training camp with the team.

Peterson is not giving us the points needed for a starting shooting guard. Bryan Scott still has not put Thronton into the game and has barely played Collison who is suppose to be CP3's relief off the bench to run the team and that hasnt happened yet. Games against the Spurs and Celtic ...(more)

With an obvious void at the three and four spots, the New Orleans Hornets are already looking for help to boost a punchless perimeter attack. Could the focus be on mercurial Stephen Jackson?

Scott needs to understand that  Hilton Armstrong dosen 't belong in the NBA he is still akward and clumsy in his 4th season! A smart man would cut his loses. Marcus Thorton didn't dress because B.Scott say's " d. Brown knows the system better!" THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF SCOTT NOT ALLOWING ROOKIES THE ABILITY TO P ...(more)

There has been rumor that the New Olrean Hornets, the Indiana Pacers, and the Washington Wizards are planning a big 7 player, 3 team deal but it is still unclear as to who they are trading. Maybe something like this:

Looking at the what I've seen so far from the Hornets with the recent moves getting rid of Bulter last month.

Looks like aside from David West playing usual PF, CP3 playing PG, andEkema Okafor playing C. Looks like they want Thornton to be the starting SG wi

I hear nothing going on right now with the Hornets and any more free agents. Last year we kept 14 players on the roster. Currently, we have 13. Any chance we sign someone before camp begins?

So glad we got Marcus Thornton from Miami to be along side CP3. Finally can get rid of the non-shooting guards in Bulter, Brown, and Peterson when their contracts expire or by trade with SG being our weakest postion on the team. I also think getting Darren Collison in the first round will help our team greatly, improving our crappy bench and gives us a another pe ...(more)

Please please tell me we are going to go SOMETHING to improve.. We need another Center, anyone to pick up a lil slack.. Chandler i think had an off year do to injuries and so many high expectations, that it was hard to to get down on himself when he wasnt playing to the standards everyone set for him.. I think they should pick up Josh Heytvelt out of Gonzaga just for a good size big body to get so ...(more)

I heard this trade is supposed to be going through. How does this help NO? They take on a 6 yr 72 million dollar contract for an above avergae center. Does Okafor provide the same pick n roll offense with Chris Paul that Tyson Chandler did?
