The only news I have seen is about scott getting a new deal. Trust me there isn't much going on in NO. They have a great young squad and I thinkthey don't have any big free agent worries.Originally Posted by Kiddin Like Jason
Has there been a lick of Hornets news in this thread?
I've tried to keep up with it, and I haven't seen even a mention.

So they would give up a solid defensive presence in Prince and a solid PG for someone who doesnt play defense in Melo but can score and be good for Marketing????? Pretty sure team defense and solid PG play still wins Championships.. *see 04 Pistons 08 Celtics* hmmmmm.......Originally Posted by franchise3
The reason why the Nuggets turned it down is probably from a PR standpoint.
It's just not popular giving up a superstar, and not getting a superstar in return.
While it would probably improve them, Billups + Prince aren't 'flashy' name players.
Pistons would be sick though with Melo.

Has there been a lick of Hornets news... period?
- Chris Paul is going to kill it next year
- West is going to body slam Dirk... twice
- Scott jinxed his old team by saying 'You don't go from not making the playoffs to winning the championship; it just doesn't work that way.'Then the Celtics proceeded to go from not making the playoffs... to winning the championship, against his first NBA team.

Pistons eye Hawks forward [h5]Posted: Monday June 23, 2008 06:58AM ET[/h5]
Keep an eye on the negotiations between the Hawks and forward Josh Smith. Smith is a restricted free agent reportedly seeking a deal that starts in excess of $11 million. Hawks new general manager Rick Sund might not be willing to start a deal at that price. If an impasse occurs, you can bet the Pistons will come asking about a possible sign-and-trade deal.
For who exactly? Maxiell? Prince?
Philly can offer Smith a deal starting at right around $11 million. That's the highest he can get from any not in Atlanta. I expect to see him re-signedfor that amount. A sign-and-trade makes no sense. If you're going to commit the money to someone, why take back lesser talent?

There's also some talk of Philadelphia being willing to break out the bank for Josh Smith...if that happens...at having Igoudala and J-Smith on the wings with Dre running the point.

One sticking point might be O'Neal's health. He played in 42 games last season because of a left knee injury, though Pacers officials said recently that O'Neal is healthy, according to the Indianapolis Star. O'Neal, a six-time All-Star, averaged 13.6 points and 6.7 rebounds a game last season, and is currently working out in Las Vegas. A second issue might be the financial burden O'Neal poses. He is set to make $21 million this season and $23 million in 2009-10.Multiple reports surfaced this past weekend about a possible trade that would have the Raptors sending Ford and their first-round pick (No. 17 overall) to the Phoenix Suns for forward Boris Diaw.
With the suns possibly getting Ford, could that mean Barbosa to the knicks?

Billups
Iverson

Not bad for a trade sending out Melo.
stuck

melo
maxiell

Not bad either, but I wonder how the chemistry would work out.
Spurs Interested in JR Smith?

The one who makes the most sense for the Spurs is the one with the least sense. That would be J.R. Smith, the flawed diamond of this summer's free-agent class. He has been everything the Spurs are not, and he also has everything the Spurs need.
For one, he can dunk.
So he's worth a look. And if the Spurs go in that direction on July 1, and if they interview Smith, then what follows will hinge on this:
Can Gregg Popovich see something he likes in someone he shouldn't?
Next season might hinge on it, too. The Spurs likely won't get enough from the draft to help them immediately, even if they find a way to move up.
The other free agents are equally uninspiring. Role players are available, not much more.
But then there is Smith, a remarkable athlete who the Spurs previously tried to acquire in a trade. Then, just before the 2006 trade deadline, a deal fell through that would have sent Brent Barry to New Orleans in exchange for Smith.
Byron Scott had given up on the kid, but the Spurs thought they had missed out. Given their locker room, couldn't they have reached Smith as they once did Stephen Jackson?
