I kno I'm probably gonna be the only one posting in here, besides my dawg 808...But uh, apparently the Hornets are looking to offer Mo-Pete some money again, hopefully we can get him this time around.http://www.sltrib.com/jazz/ci_6280028
With you guys not picking up Nick Young in the draft, Mo Pete would be a great addition to the team. It would give you guys a solid shooter, that is not injury prone like Peja. So if Peja gets hurt, you will still have a rather consistent shooter on the floor to help with the spacing of the team. If Peja doesn't get hurt, it gives two shooters you can have in at any given time, to make alot of room for Chris Paul to get into the lane and use his playmaking skills, or run the pick and roll game with David West because of having shooters to hit off the screen. Mo Pete would be a solid addition to the Hornets in my opinion.

He can build depth at both the 2 and the 3 and would be a welcome upgrade over what we have now. At least we wouldn't have to rely on Adam Haluska as our perimeter shooter at the 2
Peterson would definitely give the Hornets a brighter outlook on the upcoming season. If you look at the depth he adds, plus his ability to start at the 2 and 3 and he could possibly be a starter at SF. PG- Paul/JacksonSG- Stojakovic/Brown/JacksonSF- Peterson/Butler/WrightPF- West/SimmonsC- Chandler/ArmstrongObviously that's not the complete roster, but we should have a decent group of shooters on the floor with Peja and Mo. The Hornets gotta go after him, because Gerald Wallace may be out of the question and Desmond Mason may be on his way back to Milwaukee.
I'd also like to see Peterson in New Orleans, but I really think he'll be going to Cleveland to play along side LeBron.Anyone know what the status is on Visser? Has anyone picked him up?

Mo Pete is starting to grow on me now for some reason. It's like he reminds me of a poor man's Jamal Mashburn. Although Peterson is nowhere near Mashburn's level, it would be nice to have a good veteran who is not injury prone and can hit down shots.

Peja is bigger, and having him at a spot that will send him down low a couple of more times to utilise his height a couple more times, might make it better for you guys. Either which way though, getting him would really work out well for you guys in so many ways.

I'm just saying because there are going to be times also, when the 2-guard is just to fast for Peja. It's going to be hard for Peja to loose the 2-guard, and would be better to try to work it to where Mo Peterson is playing him on defense in hopes that the man plays defense on Mo Pete back. Provided of course, if they sign Mo Pete.

Peja created mismatches on the perimeter at the SG but he wasn't the guy that could score in many ways. Nick Young could have done that for us, and Mo-Pete...well, not so much. This is why I think Devin Brown will be our starter at SG unless we get Morris Peterson.
Looks like the Jazz and Hornets are the frontrunners in the race for MoPete...<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Toronto Raptors free agent Mo Peterson may be getting closer to signing with his new team. The Cavs and Peterson expressed interest when the negotiating period started last Sunday but it appears Peterson will not play with the Cavs next season.Peterson, according to a source close to the situation, will visit the Utah Jazz over the next few days. The Jazz and the New Orleans Hornets have become the front-runners.</div>http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/plaindealer/....xml&coll=2
Nice, we need his shooting desperately. We should look pretty good if Mo Pete signs and Wright plays well in Summer League, we just have to stay healthy to be successful.
I guess we can add Mo Peterson to this list, now all we gotta do is make an attempt at signing Devin Brown. With that article posted about the Blazers going after CP3 in '09, there isn't much money we can offer Desmond Mason if we wish to re-sign Paul beyond 2009.

When he gets hot he is tough to stop.
Jeff Bower has said that the team is now focusing on signing a third point guard and another big man. It's in today's paper. I don't really understand why they'd want another PF/C...On top of that, I guess this would mean that Devin Brown is officially no longer a Hornet; the roster might be looking like thisG Chris Paul-Bobby Jackson-Third Point Guard (Pargo?)SG Morris Peterson- Rasual Butler- Adam Haluska (OH GOD)SF Peja Stojakovic-Julian Wright-Marcus Vinicius Viera de SouzaPF David West-Cedric SimmonsC Tyson Chandler-Hilton Armstrong...which would give us few options at the shooting guard (Peterson, BJax, Haluska).
I don't completly see the need for another big unless he's really cheap. But what about RASUAL BUTLER? I think we can pencil him in as a backup for the 2 or 3 spot. maybe both.. He is under contract.
