Earlier this month, New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul said he doesn’t want have to wait years to experience winning. On Sunday, Hornets General Manager Jeff Bower said he wants the same thing and is working diligently to make it happen. 26 0 Share “I want to win too, (owner) George Shinn wants to win,’’ Bower said. “We’re working to put ourselves in position to win. “It takes a short-term and long-term approach. I like Chris' mentality, because he wants to win. Every other player wants to win, too. That’s what we’re working on every day.’’ Paul, who has two years remaining on his contract before he can opt out, urged the Hornets to be an active player in free agency this month. Since free agents could sign contracts last Thursday, the Hornets have agreed to sign shooting guard Luther Head to a two-year deal. New Orleans also is close to reaching an agreement to bring back backup center Aaron Gray, an unrestricted free agent who played in 24 games last season and averaged 3.3 points and 3.3 rebounds after he was obtained in a trade from the Chicago Bulls. http://www.nola.com/hornets/index.ssf/2010/07/new_orleans_hornets_gm_jeff_bo_3.html
And Dan Gilbert wants to bring a championship to Cleveland before LeBron wins one in Miami. Wanting to do something and actually doing it are two different things. Besides, Bower is a lame duck who interviewed for the NJ job. Furthermore, Shinn is trying to sell the team.
