		<description>The Hornets have made great moves over the past few years. Their future is very bright, heck their present is very bright. The Tyson Chandler move was excellent.

It'll be interesting to see what they do with their shooting guard. I think Julian Wright has a great chance to win that position next season. He's improved throughout the year and still isn't close to reaching his potential.

Mo Peterson has been the same player he was in Toronto, talented and versatile but mired with incosistency.

One serviceable big man off the bench would go a long way. They lose too much between Tyson/West and Hilton/Ely/Andersen. Very vulnerable to foul trouble or poor performances. That should be their target this summer.</description>

		<description>Of course, they could always let Pargo walk because they have James, but Pargo's youth is more of an asset than whatever James has left.</description>

		<description>Bower has done a great job putting the core pieces together, fleecing Paxson for Chandler and outbidding for Peja.  But I question signing Morris Peterson as he hasn't been a great fit.  He is still young so he could eventually work out but this year has left something to be desired.  His other notable move was trading Bobby Jackson for Bonzi Wells and Mike James.

Wells will be a free agent
Jackson will make 6 million next year
James will make 12.5 million over the next 2 years (he wont opt out of the 2nd year)

Wells gave the team a better backup for Peterson than Jackson was providing, but the team was also forced to take on James' sizable contract.  He has not cracked the rotation over Pargo and is essentially dead weight.

Bonzi and Pargo are free agents this summer (Pargo likely opts out bc he can command more than 2 million as a free agent).  However with James and his contract occupying a roster spot it makes it more difficult to re-sign them given the team's high payroll and low income.  The team may have to choose between Wells and Pargo, and also may not get to bring in another player via free agency.

He might get someone to take a chance on James, lord knows worse players with bigger contracts get traded all the time, but James will be 33 next year and coming off his worst season in years (making 6 million, and another 6 million at age 34).  In all likelyhood they'd have to take back another unattractive player for him, the best case scneario is probably a young defensive athlete like Jared Jeffries.</description>

		<description>The dude doesn't even sit in a suite at the games. He sits in one of the lower level sections on like the 5th or 6th row, like any other season ticket holder.</description>

		<description>This could have been a good article, but the humor in here sounds like it's written by a 9 year old. What does Bill Gates and his little experiment have to do with anything?</description>
