<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The companionable silence is broken by a reporter's question. "Is Jamal Mashburn here?" A Hornets official shakes his head no. "He's arriving separately," the man says. Thirty minutes until the opening tip and Hornets President George Shinn is standing near the New Orleans bench after making a loop around the locker room to wish every player luck. He is asked if he is disappointed that Jamal is nowhere to be seen. Shinn appears confused by the question. "Jamaal's here," he says and points to the court where Jamaal Magloire is shooting baskets. No, no, Shinn is told. Mashburn, not Magloire. It takes Shinn a couple of seconds to answer. It's as if he has forgotten that he has another player in his employ who shares Magloire's first name. In those couple of seconds, it is so quiet you can hear Mashburn's stock dropping in New Orleans. "Oh," Shinn says. "Him. I don't know." </div> Hornets view hurt Mashburn as whiner, not warrior
he'll be gone i thinkk befor the next asg he'll be traded coz i don't really know if we would get a player of his "calliber" iif we sell him this summer, but i think his days in new arleans are really his last days and now after Shinn's answer's that u shown i think we are closer to his trade then ever
