    Is this why Bower was fired? What does this mean? Hornets cutting costs? Lopsided trade coming, so they want to stay out of tax range? Naturally it MUST mean they're sending us Chris Paul, right Minstrel?

    If you can read Adrian Wojnarowski's twitter feed, I think it summarizes what happened pretty neatly. Basically Weber wanted to re-neg on a deal that Bower had brokered by falsely claiming that Luther Head failed his physical. Bartelstein is pretty pissed off about it.

    Thats a nice warm up but then we need to have the common decency to give them a reach around after trading them Rudy, AMEC and JPEC for Paul.

    If they were going to trade Paul, wouldn't they want to keep Luther?
