stojakovic agrees to terms with hornets

The New Orleans Hornets made the first splash of the NBA's free-agent signing period, agreeing to terms Saturday with three-time All-Star Peja Stojakovic.

Stojakovic, who last week opted to become a free agent instead of continue playing for Indiana, will sign a five-year deal worth about $64 million with the Hornets, said his agent, David Bauman.

this team is looking special

Uh-oh

NAWLINS HAWNETS, my goodness, they're going to be insanely good. that southwest division is going to be immensely competitive. i mean like every team with .550+ winning records

the Prince · 07-02-2006, 04:18 PM

this is a great pick up. last year they had no shooters at all. the only points outside the paint came from david west or marc jackson, all initiated by the pick 'n' roll. everything else was from fast break courtesy of chris paul and speedy claxton or shots inside the paint.

as of now:

pj brown
david west
desmond mason
peja stojakovic
chris paul

speedy claxton
jr smith (should have went to college)
hilton armstrong
cedric simmons

they should be in good position for the next few seasons, lots of youth

i would be an ill gm
I anticipated this and traded him to the hornets in my 2k6 season and came away with their 2006 1st round draft pick.

This team is all chris paul nothing else matters.

P-nut · 07-02-2006, 06:08 PM

Peja is exactly what they needed... good stuff, easily best pure shooter in the NBA... just get him the ball when hes open

please...there's a dude named ray allen who just broke the single season 3 pointers made record last season. peja's 3rd behind michael redd.

Klas~Sick · 07-02-2006, 09:03 PM

brown at the C is wack, they need to find a real center, since they got peja, they dont need mason, maybe trade him for a decent center, or mason and brown for a good C, doubt itll happen

the Prince · 07-02-2006, 09:57 PM

they have brown to teach the young bigs - armstrong and simmons. brown is the leader of that team and is better than most centers in the league. what are you smoking?

....BaSh.... · 07-02-2006, 10:07 PM

they're gonna get at Bobby Jackson now

the Prince · 07-02-2006, 10:22 PM

they dont need bobby jackson, they already have a similar player in claxton unless he is off to somewhere else

McCizoy · 07-02-2006, 10:46 PM

speedy is a free agent so he's probably gonzo. I read somewhere that Detroit wants him. Bobby Jackson when healthy is better than Claxton though.

word I remembered back in the 2002 NBA Playoffs when Bobby Jackson played for the Kings he was killing LA

tharealist23 · 07-02-2006, 11:05 PM

wow i thought peja wanted to go to a contender

Cigma · 07-03-2006, 12:49 AM

I like what the Hornets are doing.

Chris Paul, Claxton and Jackson is a nice trio, good blend of speedsters that can push the ball, distribute, in Jackson a guard who can hit some big shots and dig in defensively. A little smallish but their other talents make up for it.

Plus Claxton (pivotal member on the Spurs 2nd championship team) and Jackson have playoff experience.

As far as acquiring a legit big man, Nazr is a free agent... I'm not sure if the Spurs want to try and resign him.

They have some international prospects ready to break into the league. But with Rasho being gone, I don't know if it's wise to let go of the only already established capable center they have.

did anybody forget that there's a german 7-footer who shot so many j's in haslem and shaq's eyes that both of them niggas got even more cock-eyed than they were before they entered the series?
